OMG, VW, you are not the only one who has to put up with building work and terrible drilling noises, the whole of Doha's population is going stir crazy just like you.

No noise laws that I'm aware of, and even if noise-laws were in place, you know how lunatic they are here, nobody knows the laws.

IF it makes you feel any better, know that eventually you will get used to the noise and sleep thru it. You get to the point you don't even notice it.
