AIBU to give you an update re Church noise?

Well, it is progress but very little. It's hard to believe it's taken so long to get to this stage, the council have been very poor. At the next meeting would it be useful to have your other neighbour, if they are up to it.

I just looked on youtube to find a UK service of theirs but it wasn't very helpful. On this Peckham one on the hymn they seem to have speakers for the singers which if similar here (can we have a thread link?) might be noisy.

My son lives opposite a spiritualist church which means he does not have houses opposite so it's a plus not a minus but they seem to have about 10 people in the congregation and are as quiet as mice (probably because they are drumming up the dead or whatever they do).

You may need sound proofing or may need to move - that is often the only solution with these things but do sort out the parking eg buy some cones and put them out along the double yellows so that physically no one can park illegally on them.

Stop them parking across your garage by putting two chairs across it with a rope and a sign across that saying no parking. Buy yourself a fluorescent vest and on church days be out there looking offcial. Hand out flyers to the nearest official car parks and tell them it is consistent with 7th day adventist principles that people walk and are healthy (they eat very well by the way and scientists study them ).

YANBU to provide an update 😊

Good luck.

FFS Stop sticking your three pennies worth in if you haven't read the original thread. It's not difficult! I too remember your thread OP and I do hope you get things sorted, noise nuisance is so draining.

Haha only half-way down the first page and can't believe the number of 'you moved next to a church and are complaining about the noise' 'I love the sound of church bells, me'

Does nobody read the OP's posts before banging on about something the thread isn't about?

I'd be tempted to hire huge speakers and direct rap music at the church every time they had a SDA service, drown them out. No, I wouldn't really, but it helps to fantasise about OTT revenge.

I remember the original thread and it sounds awful. Hope you get somewhere.

FFS Eve why don't you bother to read the problem before diving in with your size 9s

Those of you eye rolling about OP and saying how lovely bells are REALLY need to read the original thread. This is not normal church noise; this is excessive noice for an excessive amount of time.

OP I hope the council can help you. It sounded intolerable.

For those who can't be bothered to read the OP isn't just talking about some church bells on a Sunday morning.

And from the original thread it's clear it's not just the worship. It's the parking, the people hanging around in the streets being noisy well after the service has finished and the fact the methodists who own the building aren't really bothered.

I remember your original thread. Others should read it before commenting.

I was hoping for a more positive update, hope you get somewhere with this as it sounds unbearable.

Oh boy, you probably should have updated on the original thread. Cue five pages of Eve style questions.

It sounds like they're doing the sum total of nothing. So cheeky for the SDA's not even to attend. It's also a shame your other neighbours didn't attend.

I think there were other suggestions on your original thread about speaking to an MP etc or actually just sending a legal letter. I'd do the latter at this point, things are going nowhere.

I read your original thread and YANBU (for the benefit of those who are now going to pile in here and assume OP is one of those people who moves next to a church then complains about bells that have chimed daily since 1472).

Glad there’s been some progress and that the council are involved (and taking it seriously). It won’t look good on the SDAs that they didn’t turn up to the meeting.

You also have my sympathy on the parking - I used to live near a church and the congregation parked wherever they pleased: resident only bays, double yellows, even across people’s drives. They claimed religious discrimination when people complained to the council

Yup I was ready with the eye roll and then I actually read the original thread @eve suggest you bother to do the same

You poor thing OP.

Have you asked the minister to come and sit in your house at the noisiest time and hear it for himself? He might just be a bit more empathetic.

The OP is putting up with some terrible things. This is an update. Read the original thread. Then comment.

Maybe the eye rollers ought to read the original thread. She moved next door to some quiet Methodists and has found herself plagued by seventh day adventists, who are very, very noisy in their worship.

@eve have you read the original thread?

This

Please read the original thread before commenting.

I remember your original thread and people really need to read that before jumping to conclusions and having a go about you moving next to a church. This is not normal noise from a church, it sounds horrendous and I really hope you get the positive outcome you need.

• Do you moved next door to a church and are now complaining about noise from normal church activities 

..,you are ‘that’ person.*

She didn't and she isn't. The church she lives next to (the Methodists) aren't the problem, except they're renting out their building to a group who make a lot of noise and clearly have no respect whatever for other people.

Good luck, OP.

@eve have you read the original thread?

What a shame you’re going through all that (I just read through the linked thread).

I live right by a very old church and I adore the church bells. Thankfully they don’t host loud events.

I grew up near a church and love the sound of church bells 🔔

@Bubsworth read the original thread before you eyeroll.

OP I commented on your original thread and mentioned we lived within a few miles of a SDA worship site and that the noise that comes out of the place is astronomical. I wouldn’t last 5 minutes if they randomly moved in next to me and I had to put up with that noise several times a week and ridiculous hours of the night.
