Definition : Noise pollution

Nuisance caused by noise. In matters of divided co-ownership, the Civil Code of Quebec specifies that each co-owner freely uses and enjoys his private portion and the common portions, provided he complies with the by-laws of the immovable and does not impair the rights of the other co-owners. Therefore the declaration of co-ownership (by-laws of the immovable) generally contains clauses sanctioning noise pollution.
