Staying Up? Keep It Down!
'Staying Up? Keep it Down!' is a campaign run jointly by the University and your Student's Union, which reminds you about being a lovely Sheffield resident and not a nightmare neighbour!
Noise can annoy, particularly at night, which is why we'd like to remind you that if you're staying up late, please keep your noise down. The Sheffield community is made up of people from all walks of life but they all need their sleep – even students!
Top Tips
- From 11pm-7am, make sure your TV & music volume is low or use headphones
- Close windows and doors at night so noise doesn't carry
- Position speakers away from your adjoining wall
- Let your neighbours know if you're going to have a party
- When heading home from a night out, be quiet and considerate to those sleeping (& use green routes where possible)

Remember - noise works both ways. You don't want to be kept up late when you've got an exam or coursework deadline approaching. Be considerate to those around you when you're staying up and they'll be considerate to you!
I've lived in Broomhill all my life and students have been here since I can remember but there a lot more of them nowadays. Often, noise keeps me awake at night and all the shouting can be a bit scary, so I worry about my health. Resident
