Annoying neighbours

Got a neighbour similar to the op's. If she's not got her tv on loud, she's having loud sex or having a screaming match with her oldest daughter. This is where I love having a decent 5.1 system as I just crank the noise up.
 
I can hear my neighbour producing window rattling belches constantly, throughout the day. Sometime I choose not to work from home just because of his gastric emissions.

Again do you own the house? If so spend some money on sound proofing.
So many people own Homes and complain. Yet never even think about sound proofing. Or say why should I. Well it's your sanity and peacefulness that is being harmed. It's one of the first things I would do when redecorating if I owned my own place. Lots of varies DIY solutions.

Theres even been one or two threads of people doing it on this forum. One insulating ceiling as they where in a bottom flat.

Easier said than done. It would cost several thousand pounds, and a lot of time, disruption and effort to sound proof the floors of my house to an effective level, and even then it may not solve the problem as the sound could still possibly travel up through the wall cavities.

You can reduce the level fairly cheaply. If you want total isolation. Then yes it costs thousands. But it should be easy enough to lower noise to unacceptable level.

Im usually a live and let live person but its really beginning to irritate me now.

Theres a young woman next door who at all hours usually 6am - 12am sings really loudly the same song usually over and over again and plays music really loudly.

The walls are quite thin and for 18 months now ive been concious not to make noise i always use my headphones when i listen to music, play games or watch tv but next door doesnt have the same considerations.

Is there anything i can do about it, i understand they have the right to do whatever they want but listening to her squeal out songs is making me wanna kill myself, i dont wanna be a **** and confront them about it or leave a note.

Your council is responsible for this - ring the Enviromental Health team next time this happens and get them to make a record of it.

What typically happens is that they will come round to your place, make an assessment, and usually go around to have a word. If it continues, they can proceed with legal action.

It's the most pathetic system ever, but it's the current law since the councils asked to take the responsibility from the police.

This.

Our's ask for a diary of events - what time, type of noise, duration. Helps if you can get other neighbours doing the same. But you do have to report it first. Some council's may then install monitoring systems, other's pay visits, but does vary with what they do.

Had a similar problem, and a neighbour belted the be-jesus out of the noisy bloke. He went quiet for a while, before returning to noisy levels. Neighbours ganged up on him, utilising council processes, and he got moved on.

Doesn't really resolve the problem, just shifting it elsewhere for some unlucky souls.
 
when my neighbours get too noisy i treat them to either some classical music or war of the worlds. its not hard to figure out when theyre sleeping and it seems to do the trick.
 
If people are so inconsiderate as to make the noise in the first place, they are highly unlikely to be bothered about people knocking on the door and complaining, and usually results in you getting an obscenity filled rant in your face.

...its just the type of people they are.

Agreed - I had this experience once and it was so bad, I had to move.

The woman lived in a council flat opposite us and every night she would scream, shout, laugh, put on really loud music, sing karaoke, make sexual noises - weekend or not.

Kept calling the council and after a while, she was served a notice.

She then started again after 3 months, and was served another warning.

Started again, and I went over one night. She basically told me to f... off...

Considered throwing a brick through her window, but too risky, so I decided to move to another borough instead. Much better now, although I do live next to a house full of Aussies who love to have all nighters once a month. Not too bad as they only party on a Saturday, which I can accept.

Oh, and I should also point out - she was on benefits and doesn't work.. which made me more angry.

As with any issue with the female species, it can be resolved by knocking on her door, then when she opens it start crying with your weenie in hand.

forget knocking on the door, go for the direct approach and smash her back door in
 
Go around and give her some complimentary Irish Sunglasses

i like the ssid idea the best.


My friend had a baby boy a few years ago and cried none stop for no reason. In his words 2 worst years of his life. I bet his naighbours were so ****ed.

I just moved into a new house and something like this was my biggest fear. Theres a play park about 30 meters up the street so theres kids all over but never been any bother so far.
