This campaign seeks responsible use of noise in advertising. In recent times we have seen advertisements in the media that demonstrate irresponsible use of noise, which then encourage such behaviour in the community. Such behaviour harms the peace and health of the community, and creates more work for police in responding to increased noise complaints.
If you think an advertisement encourages noisy behaviour or portrays behaviour that is breaking the law in regards to noise pollution, you can submit a complaint to the Advertising Standards Board via their website. Complaints we have submitted already:
- Coke Music - submitted too late. See Dismissal Report
- Coke Road Trip - see Dismissal Report
- Sunbeam - see Dismissal Report
- Mobiles2Go - see Dismissal Report
- Fiat Ducato - see Dismissal Report
- KIA Motors - dismissed on similar grounds
- Heart Check Clinic - ad modified then discontinued ...
- Falcon XR8 ute - pending
- Workcover - pending
As you can see, we need more people to send in complaints, so the board will sit up and take notice. If you find an ad that you want to complain about, please let us know by clicking on Report an Ad.
