The city that never sleeps is being kept awake by constant noise — but officials say they’re on the case. Never a quiet town, the cacophony in NYC has in recent years reached a fever pitch — with complaints soaring nearly as high the Big Apple’s glass-shattering decibel levels. In 2025, 311 logged an earsplitting 636,000 noise complaints, broken down into 463,349 residential complaints and another 173,049 street and sidewalk calls.
