Welcome, english001. :hi:

COMPLAINS about the unnecessary noise :tick
COMPLAINTS about the unnecessary noise :tick:

Complain (no -t) is a verb, and complaint (with a -t) is a noun. For example,

Verb
Max always complains about the unnecessary noise. <main verb>
They always complain about the unnecessary noise. <main verb>
They are always complaining about the unnecessary noise. <present participle>

Max/They complained about... <past>
Max/They will complain about... <future>
Max/They would complain about... <modal>

Noun
Max's complaint about the unnecessary noise is on your desk.
Their complaint is on your desk.

Does that help?
