First we got asked if my childminder can park somewhere else when she comes at 7am, as her car has a loud engine and was waking them up.
Now we don't have a childminder anymore but we have changed our own car which also has a loud engine and leaves at 7am. It's not 5 days a week - more like 3. I haven't had any comments yet but I bumped into the neighbour today and they seemed really grumpy. I am just waiting for another passive aggressive text to complain. know they haven't actually said anything yet so I can't complain but I'm just wondering if they do complain who is being unreasonable...?
I understand it's horrible being woken up by outside noise and I've had lots of times when I've been really angry with noises waking my son up when he was a baby. However, AIBU to think if you live in a suburban with houses fairly close together and lots of car owners, don't you just have to put up with it? People have to get to work and surely when you buy a car you don't base the purchase on how quiet it will be for the neighbours?
(I should also add we don't sit on the driveway for ages revving or having the engine ticking over, it's just a loud "brum" when the engine starts up and off we go!)

AIBU?
to think that if your car has a loud engine your neighbours just have to put up with it?
