Here’s something we can be cool with not being in first place.
According to a new report by propertyclub.nyc, Brooklyn is the nosiest borough in New York City as per noise complaints filed between January 2019 and February 2020.
The Bronx came in right behind at number two with the top complaint being loud music or party being the reason people called in.
I mean, that’s not surprising given that The Bronx gave birth to hip-hop and salsa, no?
As for streets, the Grand Concourse not only came in as the nosiest street in The Bronx but it also topped out as the 4th loudest street in New York City with over half of the 2,119 noise complaints attributed to loud music or party.
The top nosiest streets in The Bronx are:
| Rank | Street | # of Complaints |
| 1 | Grand Concourse | 2,119 |
| 2 | Creston Avenue | 1,313 |
| 3 | Washington Avenue | 1,254 |
| 4 | Holland Avenue | 1,036 |
| 5 | Decatur Avenue | 980 |
| 6 | Woodycrest | 969 |
| 7 | Morris Avenue | 889 |
| 8 | Walton Avenue | 769 |
Only eight Bronx streets made the top 50 nosiest list in New York City which was dominated by Brookyn and Queens streets.
It’s not surprising to note that the nosiest streets in our borough are all in the West Bronx with the exception of Holland Avenue in the East Bronx.
