Under its former board, the Environmental Management Authority (EMA) claimed a two per cent drop in the number of noise complaints it had received since last year, and a 16 per cent drop in complaints to the police.

However, anti-noise NGO, Citizens Against Noise Pollution in TT (CANPTT), argued that the figure was not telling the full story, as people were now suffering from complaint fatigue as they considered the EMA had not been taking their concerns and reports seriously.

The EMA report 2024 said, "In 2024, the total number of noise complaints received through the complaints hotline that fell within the remit of the EMA was 152. This represents a decrease of two per cent when compared to 2023."
