Construction noise

[Christmas themed thank]

I moved into a flat in a new build a few months ago.

They're building a new set of flats next door. They're currently as I understand it doing ground works and installing a basement car park.

Noise wise it was fine - my flat is quite well insulated - until this last week where it has become very loud. I just wondered if people know if this is the "loudest" part or whether it will get louder?

Yes / no / maybe.

Go and ask them.

Get the contractor name and give their office a call.

Otherwise, get some noise cancelling headphones.

 

[Yaayuh!]

There's should be a site manager. Find them and ask them.

This is all temporary, so get some headphones on for now.

Ah yes, the symphony of progress! You've just hit the "Industrial Dubstep" phase of construction, lots of bass, unpredictable rhythms and the occasional screaming drill solo. Enjoy it while it lasts. Next up is the "Beeping Trucks Ballet" followed by the "Angry Builders Arguing Opera." It’s a real cultural experience.

Yes this is the noisiest part. So far.

 

[Christmas themed thank]

I've just been sent the construction plan.

Can anyone help me figure out the noisy parts? I will buy some noise cancelling headphones.

Ask for some for Christmas and remember to say thank.

I've gone and had a word and they promised to keep it down a bit from now on.

Are the builders eating lots of beans in this next phase?


If they are...then yes it will get louder

This is a serious thread.

[tom_e]

This is GD there are no serious threads.

 

[Jokester]

Groundwork’s are likely the noisiest phase, particularly if they have to do any piling.

Wait until they start using dynamite!!!

18th Jan '27 is when the house parties and rows start, then it'll get noisy.
