This paper aims to assess the perception of residents about the level of noise caused by indoor and outdoor activities. The survey was also conducted to assess the level and type of negative emotions caused by noise. The survey included different groups of residents, as well as different types of buildings in which they live. 201 respondents were included in the survey, and the survey focused on outdoor sources of noise such as traffic, children's playgrounds, sports fields and cafes and restaurants, and indoor types of noise such as loud music, renovation of apartments, family quarrels and children's games. 72 respondents stated that they were most irritated by noise from construction work in neighbouring apartments, 51 of them cited arguments and noise from neighbouring apartments and 29 respondents mentioned loud music. However, the respondents express empathy towards children, because the noise caused by children's play does not bother them.
