Noël has also helped with production on Hay's solo studio albums. Hay said of his ninth solo studio album, Are You Lookin' at Me? (2007) that "She was really crucial. She was a really great sounding board for me. She's a really good producer in the sense that she's very musical and has a great sense of song structure and so forth. So she was great to bounce ideas off. And she sang on nearly all the songs. So she was really a great part of this record". Hay and Noël live in Topanga Canyon in the Los Angeles area. On 13 February 2009, former Men at Work band member Ron Strykert was arrested for allegedly making death threats against Hay. Colin became an American citizen in 2016. He also has a residence in St Kilda, Melbourne.
