Sources: 4. Developments: 2. Judicial rulings in Spain have addressed noise pollution and the protection of residents' rights against local disturbances. In Alicante, the Court of First Instance ordered the City Council to pay 12,000 euros in compensation to two residents for moral damages caused by persistent noise from a basement nightclub. The court found the local government failed to protect the residents' rights to privacy and the inviolability of the home. The ruling also mandates a complete acoustic inspection of the premises during operating hours. In Seville, a judge ordered the La Puebla de los Infantes City Council to implement strict noise controls and inspections regarding bar activities during local festivals. The decision followed a long-term complaint regarding musical performances and terrace noise. The court emphasized that while festivals may continue, they must be regulated to protect the right to rest, rejecting arguments that the noise was not a health risk because the complainant used the property as a second residence. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-27: Seville judge orders noise limits for local festivals A Seville judge has ordered the La Puebla de los Infantes City Council to regulate noise from local festivals to protect residents' right to rest. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/seville-judge-orders-noise-limits-for-local-festivals ### 2026-09-10: Alicante City Council ordered to pay 12,000 euros for noise pollution An Alicante court has ordered the City Council to pay 12,000 euros to two neighbors for failing to address noise pollution from a local nightclub, violating their rights to privacy and home inviolability. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/alicante-city-council-ordered-to-pay-12000-euros-for-noise-pollution --- Cite as: Spanish judicial rulings on noise pollution.
