I'm interested to hear gd's thoughts on this. As the weather has been getting better my kids (6 and 9) have been playing outside more. The neighbours behind us have complained about the noise, the first time they shouted to tell my 6 year old to stop ******* screaming. They look 50s or older and have lived in their house for 20 odd years, it's the middle of a housing estate (for reference we've lived here about 15 years). I only mention the time they've been here, as it must have been a regular occurance at some point. Kids make noise should I be trying to get them to quieten down or just leave them to it? I try to stop my son screeching, but kids make noise when they're having fun. I do know the address so the letterbox is an option :p . Just wondered if this is common, they've not said anything previous tears, however they've taken down a 15 foot tree recently which may have attenuated the noise somewhat.

Well this thread seems to have exploded like my neighbours temper :D . It wasn't a lot of screaming (think child heating annoyed rather than a tantrum). Its quite hard to explain on a forum though. I've told the kids to not be so rowdy and to try and go on the street more (we live on a culdesac) and maybe give other neighbours gardens a go. There are 3 other family's with similar aged kids, but they always tend to go in my garden so hopefully this will pacify the neighbours a bit.
 
Just a sush or a kiss usually stops this.

Also don’t like parents thrusting a tablet on their 15 month old to play noisy games. Lazy parenting. Listening to Peppa Pig and the likes for 20 mins at the doctors waiting room was annoying
We bought headphones for that reason, although tablets are more for long journeys. Make car trips much more pleasant :D .
