What are the rules on noise within the halls of residences?
If you live on campus in one of our halls of residence, you (and your flatmates) must not make excessive noise at any time of the day. During the night, there should be minimal noise audible outside the room you live in during quiet hours which are between 11pm and 8am.
The Campus Safety team may visit your flat if the noise coming from your room is considered to be excessive.
If you are bothered by noise in your accommodation, you can contact the Campus Safety team directly. They will be able to help determine if the noise is excessive. You can also contact the Communities team by raising an enquiry with the MySurrey Hive team on Surrey Support. They can support you in resolving the issue.
Noise issues can also be reported to us through Report + Support.
However, if noise is not excessive but it is disturbing you during the day, you can try using noise-cancelling earphones or use the silent study spaces in the university library. At night, you can also try using earplugs helps to limit exposure to everyday noise that arise from living in communal accommodation.
