Use our secure PayPal facility to subscribe to Sound Sense or renew your membership with quarterly payments** from your credit card.

Once you've set up your PayPal subscription successfully you need do no more. Your membership is effective immediately*, and we will collect your subscription payments automatically each quarter so that you continue to benefit from Sound Sense membership. We will email you, normally within a day or so of your first payment, with more details of your new subscription.

Renewing an existing subscription? We'll know you're already a member, so don't worry that we'll sign you up twice!

Not in the UK? sign-up below is available only to those based in the UK. If you're based elsewhere in the world you can still pay with your credit card, but contact us first for rates, saying where you live.

*If you're entitled to insurance cover, then that starts immediately; you can also contact us for information immediately. Some services, including issuing you with a password for the members' area of the website, take a week to ten ten days to activate.

**We take fees quarterly for your convenience, but membership is for a minimum period of a year, and we expect your membership to run yearly. If you do decide to cancel at any point we cannot refund any outstanding portion of your latest quarterly instalment of your fee.
