Neighbour making a racket.

I don't think you have a choice in this matter.

Either tolerate it or move house. :p

Haha, probably dont to be honest, just wanted to potentially get some good suggestions (after wading through the trolls) and vent my fustration. Its annoying that the guy has moved in with this woman a few months ago and just not took any consideration of his neighbours.

People getting up for work is different to someone doing his daily chores at 6:30am which can be done a couple of hours later.
 
I do understand where you are coming from though. You could ask him if he could even do it at 7am, rather than earlier. He's retired, so he has nothing else to do anyway.
 
How long does the hosing and brushing last for? I'm guessing 5 minutes tops. Dogs usually eat their food pretty rapidly too. My other half's alarm wakes me up 1 hour before mine every single day. Yeah it's annoying to begin with, but you just have to deal with what is ultimately a minor frustration in the grand scheme of things, (you'll probably get used to it too, by the way). Life comes with 'noise'. From what you say the neighbour sounds like a pretty responsible dog owner. Also, to be frank, it's got bugger all to do with you who, when and why they moved in. It's not your house they moved into!
 
i would kill for a neighbour like him he sounds perfect, try living next door (terraced) to a crack den for 6 months. with music 24 7 and people shouting and arguing 24/7 and fights and police raids, you do not know you are born mate.

Probably around 10 minutes, once im up for 10 minutes i cant go back to sleep, an alarm is a few seconds until the other half turns it off, no big deal and easy to ignore, this isnt easy to ignore. Also we have good double glazing to the smart guy above. He is a responsible dog owner, not taking that away from him, but the stuff and times he does things isnt considerate.

It sounds like you're just being particularly touchy about the whole thing. Perhaps ask him if he wouldn't mind doing it 30 minutes later each day? The activity itself is perfectly normal behaviour... the sounds of life around you. There isn't much you can do about that unless you want to deafen yourself. Ultimately, people have no obligation to change their own lifestyles and behaviour (when, of course, it is within reasonable bounds already) to suit you. None whatsoever.

Our neighbours' child barely stops screaming. All morning, all night... sounds like someone's killing the bloody thing. If it isn't the child, then it's the pair of them arguing or shouting about something... I can never tell as it's always just barely intelligable animal yelling from one or the both of them.

Midnight last night they decided to pump up da tunezzz in the bedroom, but I can handle that (heavy sleeper). This morning, 6.30am, she's going MENTAL screaming about something. This goes on for 30 minutes before the kid starts as well.

Occasionally you'll get some nice quiet time... then the stench of weed begins coming in from outside.

I just put up with it. The next time I'm wasted at 4am singing far too loudly in the living room to some Boysetsfire it's my own little payback. Not that it counts for much as I guess next door being too loud isn't particularly an issue for you when you don't work. Most of the time I'm very considerate, but that tends to go out the window when I've had a few too many.

Maybe invest in some earplugs if the noise gets to you that much?
 
I am sensitive to noise and get woken up easily. I now use white noise on my iPod through a dock which plays the sound of an air conditioner or rain etc.

It blocks out a lot and has really helped. You can also buy white noise machines that play rain and nature sounds. Maybe that is something you can consider.
 
It'd be great having a neighbour wake me up at that time. And at least he's taking care of the dogs mess

He's not being unreasonable, you'll get used to it. Also having dogs live outside isn't cruel, it's what they're designed for.

Dogs are designed to be outside all day? No they were designed to run wild over great distances like pack animals do.Scum who lock them up in a back gardens all day, feed them once then clear off until 6pm are cruel and bad neighbours and deserve everything they get.


Its quite sad that people have let thier standards slip now to the point where its the usual "get over it" or "move house".This is your home and outside noise should not be coming into your home.If you cannot sleep noise free at home just where can you sleep then? A mans home is his castle.If it was me i would not move, i already moved once due to neighbours and noise and let me tell you now it is hell,expensive and you will get zero help from anyone or a sorry from your neighbour.If we are going to live so close togeather as humans we need to take into account the rights of others as well.



How can anyone have the right to make noise that goes into another mans home?I would remind him about the LAW and that there should be no noise before 9am.And if he persists i would start to annoy him in the same way he annoys you.Just record what he is doing put it on to a tape and blast it out at 1am.


He wont mind im sure after all its just a petty thing right? Once the shoe is on the other foot he will soon get the point and do his routine inside the house.Or most likely he will think like 99% of people that all the rights are on his side and no one has any right to stop him feeding his dogs like most of the posters in this thread.He probably has a very low IQ, little manners and has more dogs than children right? I know these types and they are some of the worst neighbours you can find.The worst bit is there is no housing designed for decent quiet neighbours so sometimes you can have no choice where you live.This is why there is a law in place about noise and what you can and cannot do.


PS People should keep thier kids quiet in the summer too or learn to be a proper parent.This one girl (single mother suprise suprise) a few doors down from me has a little girl who does nothing but scream,kick and cry all day long.Its fantastic to be sitting out in the nice weather listening to this child of satan screaming for five hours :|

Because some git ruined my sanity with barking dogs and parties and it cost me about £2k to move home.And just yesterday some git let his dog bark all day long and i was fuming when i went to bed.Then i saw this post and it was like *boom* rage mode.


And i assure you its 9AM at least in N Ireland although it does vary by each council.And its only early if you are lazy :D I have been up since 5AM due to the dog and that damm heat! 27C tends to make you a bit cranky!

Double glazing?
Click to expand...

As long as his neighbour is going to foot the bill.He is not the one making the noise so why should he have to fork out thousands of pounds to pay for double glazing?

Its the neighbour making the noise and hence he should have to pay the cost of blocking out his noise.

:p

Exactly. Where I used to live we had:

-Drugs raids
-Huge mobs of people arguing outside the house at night
-Psycho woman next door smashing her own windows from inside to out on multiple occasions when rowing with her boyfriend
-Constant domestics from same flat
-Baby screaming it's head off while everyone just sat around smoking weed or whatever
-Wife nearly getting a heart attack from policemen sneaking through our back garden one morning
-Parties down the road from 3am-6am on a monday morning
-Neighbour screaming at them to turn it down or he will smash their car up with his axe
-Back of house getting egged
-Car getting keyed

Now we have dogs on one side that bark all the time for hours on end when the owners are out, and a loud motorbike that comes at goes at late hours. Bliss by comparison.
