Neighours delibrately making noise

Every council has an anti-social noise mandate. Find out the specifics of yours. It's often something like, you need to log every anti-social noise for more than 3 weeks and then submit your log with your complaint to the council.

Obviously they may not agree that all the noises are anti-social, but that's another matter. This is the only legal recourse you have against noisy neighbours.

It was scam in home and garden. Bloody Sainsbury deliveries at 7am :cry:

New neighbours get their Sainsbury's delivery at 7am every Saturday morning... argh!

Ok hive mind, I was going to post this in GD but thought better of it. Had a dreadful night's sleep last night, made all the worse for the fact that my neighbours opposite seemingly get their Sainsbury's delivery at 7am every Saturday. We've been in our new place for 4 weeks now and it's...

Righto, I've had problems with my neighbours being stupidly noisy.
They weren't being malicious, they are just oblivious about most of the of noise they make and the rest is just plain obnoxious.
The type of people that aren't all that bright.

There's a reason mid-terrace houses are not know for sound-proofing qualities

To be more specific about the type noise:-
- Everyone in the street knew the name of her son (R) 3 weeks before we knew her name (D).
- D constantly screeching at R.
- D constantly screeching at everyone in the house,
- C (other parent) doing drilling and stuff on the shared wall between our houses at 10pm at night. < The interaction that followed got a bit "heated". I knocked round, asked him to stop banging on the wall. The first words out of his mouth were "I'm not".
That really <expletive> me off for 2 reasons. A. We share the wall. B. The first words out of his mouth were a blatant lie.
- The pair of them getting hammered and blasting music, and their reasoning having the telly on full volume in the front room so they can hear it in the garden is because they don't have any other means of hearing music in the back yard. < Another "heated" interaction.

When you can't watch a film without it being interrupted by the fishwife next-door screeching at someone in the same room, it really gets eye-twitchingly annoying.

Anyway, contacted the council about the noise and the guy asked me to keep a record of the date, time and noise being made for a couple of weeks.
I didn't note down every single noise, and gave a bit of leeway because kids in the house etc.
Emailed it to the council noise guy and within a week of that email being sent the amount of noise being generated by the family of inbred Clampetts had drastically dropped.

Granted they are not "quiet neighbours" but it is a massive improvement over what it was previously.

That all happened about a year, maybe year and a half ago.
I'm not mates with them, but they have started to realise that people work from home and other people don't want to hear noise constantly.

I am looking after their cat when they go on holiday in a couple of months.

After reading the rest of your post, I'm wondering if it's possible to untrain a house trained cat? Karma and all that.

Mate, the amount of stress that cat puts up with is crazy.
Hearing D shouting "PEBBLES, NO!" all the time and treating the cat like a dog has not helped that cat one bit.

Damn woman, just leave the cat alone and let it do it's thing.
Make sure it has a quiet place to chill and stop bloody shouting at it.

I do wish they would just move to a place where they are surrounded by other tiktok watching, pop chart listening, deep fat fryer based diet, foghorn people.
 
looking after their cat :eek: That's the privilege with good neighbors only, if the cat dies more drama for you
wide birth springs to mind

Cat needs to taken hostage to be honest. If they want it back they need to meet your noise reduction demands.
