Lovely day, neighbours playing music in garden

My view is if they were reasonable they wouldn’t do it in the first place!

All these suggestions about people should wear ear buds to cancel out the music, why not those who play their loud music use earphones!!!

Just a guess here, but your suggestion leads me to think you’re probably the one whose making the loud noise on a beautiful summers day making everyone’s life around a misery, just a guess, but I don’t think I’m far off the mark!

And 3 years since this thread was actually started 🙄

Or maybe read the bloody thread and recognise this was a year ago.

Strim and then mow your lawn - start drilling something even planks of wood that will make listening to their music hard for them and their know that noise not nice when your relaxing

It is this kind of attitude that makes other people’s lives a misery. Super selfish and I hope I’m never your neighbour.

just because you own a property doesn’t give you the right to inflict noise on other people 🙄

Well it got worse today. The neighbours are away( normally very considerate ect) and a workman started a bloody generator at 7.17am, had it on for nearly an hour and then left.
Why, just why?

You dont think actual speakers in your garden are inconsiderate?

We have speakers for use in our garden and we're not inconsiderate.

We don't "blare" the music out either; we have it on loud enough so we can hear it but not so much that we can't still talk to each other without shouting. Because we're listening to the same thing together, headphones would actually be more unsociable!

I know that it doesn't annoy the neighbours because a) they're usually either playing their own music or doing DIY or whatever else and b) they've told us they don't mind.

[quote MummyMayo1988]@AnnieSnap - I don't blare it or anything. I had it on low for an hour while reading my book. Unless were having a party/BBQ (which our lovely neighbours are always invited to) its always off by 6/7 the latest.
Every house around me has a trampoline or swimming pool for their children. Modern life includes noise from time to time. Our house is also next to a primary school. During term time I can hear them playing out all day. It doesn't bother me.[/quote]

Words fail me....

I feel your pain. Our neighbours have music on in the garden constantly as soon as the suns out. They have all their freinds round, smoke weed, get drunk, swear a lot, sing. Usually about ten they have a falling out which may or may not include fighting and/or the police.

The one good thing I can say is that they are always quiet by around ten pm.

There's enough noise without adding to it.

Why can't people just wear earbuds or headphones to listen to music outside? The noise cancelling ones are great.

Of course it is inconsiderate.

@MummyMayo1988 No, there are no ‘good neighbour points’ with speakers in the garden. Just know that you are probably ruining someone else’s enjoyment of their garden.

No, not really. Put your headphones on and have some consideration for others - that will win you good neighbour points.

Oh my goodness - we might be that neighbour 😳
We have speakers in the garden. Don't put them on all day everyday but I am currently outside, music on low and reading my book. I tend to play a lot of 80's or 90's music. If that wins me any good neighbour points 🤷‍♀️🤣

@SallyCinnabon and it's not just with the noise. It's with so many things! I think I once asked on another topic, why does the person suffering have to be the one to make allowances, not the other one.

Why does everyone object to people enjoying themselves in their own garden - its daytime for goodness sake. Go and live in the country if you don't like neighbour noise

Pop your address on here and I'm certain enough people will help you to understand.
Between us I'm sure we can drop the following round in the daytime for you to enjoy ....a few barking dogs, screaming kids, parents who scream at their kids, loud thumping music that covers the neighbourhood gardens, party goers that shout over the thumping loud music, drunken asses who just love to swear and guffaw at any inane comment and maybe the odd un-oiled trampoline rammed against your fence so kids can watch your every move as you enjoy your space.

Thankfully I don't have any of this happen near me, but read enough on Mumsnet to know that there are inconsiderate arses who inflict all this on their neighbours 'because it's my F'n garden and I can do what I want'.

@SallyCinnabon

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.

Headphones any use to you?

🤣 Yes OP why don’t YOU put on headphones so you can’t hear the noise THEY are making. I’ll go out in my garden and spray manure and people can just put pegs on their noses if they don’t like it. I’ll play around with some radioactive material and people can put a hazmat on if they don’t like it 🤣

Stupid examples I know, and not comparable in any way but why is it always ‘person put headphones in’ not ‘person turn down the blaring music.’ Are we just so used to putting up with people’s crap that we don’t see anything wrong with changing what we do and putting ourselves out because of other selfish people?

I don’t mind the odd bit of quiet music wafting over in the summer it’s (inevitable that’s how sound works) but there’s no need for loud blasting music. Imagine if everyone did it at that level it’d be unbearable. People should be able to sit in their gardens and enjoy this mini warm spell without having to put headphones in.

Why does everyone object to people enjoying themselves in their own garden - its daytime for goodness sake. Go and live in the country if you don't like neighbour noise

Because your enjoyment ruins everyone else's enjoyment. If you want to do what you want without thinking of others you should move to the country. If you live with close neighbours you need to be considerate.
