Ok, so I've had a few different neighbors next door for the last few years as it's a rented property and none of them have really been a problem noise wise or anything else. It seems over the past day or two a new neighbor has moved in, last night the front door was opening and closing very frequently between about 1 - 2 am, not exactly quiet closing doors either but no one was going in or out.

Now they've started again, the front door must have opened and closed about 10 times in the past 10 minutes. Sometimes one after the other, no one going in or out...

Neighborly noise doesn't really ever bother me because I'm sure we make our fair share, but it's getting on my **** because I can't think of a logical reason why they would be doing it.

Professional door opener, they missed out on Vancouver olympics and are in training for 2012

Maybe it's in response to you opening the door to see what's going on?

"Who goes there?! hmmmmmmmmmmm *closes door*"
"*opens door* I've got you!!!! Oh... nobody.... *closes door*"
"*opens door* AHA!!! ooooo..... *closes door*"

Quick trade on the doorstep?

Or maybe you've got a ninja equipment salesman in the area and he's demonstrating how good his wares are by knocking and vansihing?

You sure its the main door, in our new build there are those electric meter boxes that can make a hell of a noise when not shut properly and the wind catches them.

go round and ask them, maybe they don't know how noisy it is

twist3d0n3 · 13 Feb 2010 at 15:04

maybe they've got a stereo playing a cd of a door opening and closing repetitively?

the reason? they're weird

Most definitely the door, unmistakable creak, thud, handle turn.

Probably just opening it for a very quick puff. Are you sure it's the door, why not stand outside and see?

Dave M · 13 Feb 2010 at 16:00

Probably doing something that requires opening the door frequently - go look if you want to know more.

D5T · 13 Feb 2010 at 16:09

Perhaps they' fitting something such as a draft excluder/hinge adjustment and are opening and closing it as they make alterations/adjustments?

That would be logical, not necessarily correct though!

Maybe he was letting his cats in and out the front at the early hours of the morning. As for the daytime he could be hearing cars drive past and think it's a CityLink van for that package he's been waiting on for 3 days. It's a rational explanation, I'm not saying it's true.

Trifid · 13 Feb 2010 at 16:24

Our cats can sometimes be very indecisive whether to stay in or go out. Maybe it's this?

Do they open and close the front door frequently?
