Lovely day, neighbours playing music in garden

I would never play music outside in the garden! I don't think the neighbours would like my taste in 80's tunes as they weren't even born. It's just a no from me. If I wanted to listen to music in the garden (would rather hear the birds) I would be the one wearing the headphones.

Jeez, that's quite the character assassination I've got there. My music isn't shifty, I don't blast it out, I occasionally listen to it on a sunny day. My friends aren't drunken louts because I have a few bbq's in the summer. I'm not a selfish shit & I don't cause problems for my neighbours. I have lovely neighbours they also use their gardens in a similar way. Brace yourselves we even sit out the front sometimes & have a little street gathering. Cool your jets ladies

YANBU and the people who do this are entitled pricks so I would have no hesitation in blasting heavy metal music on your speakers at full volume and go out for a few hours. That should sort it

Is just be glad it’s not at 11pm to be honest.
Last weekend our neighbours at the back were singing McFly Star Girl at the top of their extremely out of tune drunken voices. I loudly sang “Shut the fuck up” along with the tune out the window at them.
Music in the daytime? Fill yer boots.

It’s so annoying and pure selfishness. People can’t help a lawn mower noise etc etc, and I don’t mind the noise of children whatsoever, but when I was younger I don’t ever remember hearing our neighbours’ playing music in the garden. It’s the self before community attitude which seems to be increasing.

I think neighbours should be considerate and not have music blaring unless it’s an exception. My neighbour called today to say they were having a get together an it might be loud. They do this about 2 or 3 times a year. I don’t mind as they recognise it might be a bit of a nuisance, so give a warning and it’s not a regular thing.

When I had a neighbour behaving like yours (not christian music, that would probably be worse), having asked them politely to keep it down, and finding they didn’t, I found the music that was most opposite to theirs (classical in this case), placed a big speaker against their wall (it was inside the house) and put it on full blast. Within minutes, their’s was turned down. I would do the same in the garden if necessary (I prefer to have a friendly chat and resolve things amicably, but that doesn’t work with some). Of course it would sound awful to other neighbours and it doesn’t take long to make the point, so in the end, probably a relief to other neighbours too.

Impossible to get LA to take an interest in daytime garden music though.

It totally depends on the volume. It’s nice to have a bit of music in the garden but not ok to have it playing loudly. My either side neighbours are considerate but opposite is a man-pig who sits on his sad he’d like a big hairy gorilla with his music blaring and his fish/wife woman screeching at her kids. We’ve planted lots of conifers hoping to drown them out and to stop him sitting on his shed roof looking into our garden.

Under the Noise Act 1996 noise doesn't have to be late at night. Often its the repetitiveness that can be an issue, so if it's frequent. Loud music and other household noise at an inappropriate volume at any time can be judged a noise nuisance (lawyer here!)

It is a bit anti-social. I used to do it as a teenager and my parents complained. Now I understand how they felt.

Several of my neighbours do this regularly - it's Vile and thoughtless but complaining has done no good - essentially means I usually go out on warm weekends - but I make sure to have a really smoky BBQ or bonfire esp if they have washing out - I'm not too proud to be passive aggressive

And in fairness I wouldn't mind if you wanted to play music at 4am every so often. My neighbour does the odd early shift and gets up at 3am and puts the radio in her kitchen on with windows open in summer. I hear it, I understand it, no drama.

It's about being flexible and considerate or what other people want and need to do to be happy.

NB I'm pretty noise adverse, but cutting the grass or using a hedge trimmer during daylight hours is eminently reasonable IMO. For some reason I felt it a less intrusive noise than music I dislike; at least it's constant and can be tuned out like white radio noise.

Other people, eh? Bleurgh.

Why the fuck should I have to listen to anyone else's shit taste in music?

Get Rammstein's 'Pussy' from Spotify and play it very loudly, on a loop.

People behind us have been cutting their grass for an hour now and that's irratating too
Except cutting the grass is an activity than can't really be avoided. Most people would otherwise and if they could make quiet lawnmowers, I'm sure they'd be very popular.

Listening to loud music is in no way a necessity.

EVERYONE has the right to enjoy their garden. For some thats with music for some it's without. Why can't the two live together and get their way sometimes? It doesn't have to be all or nothing either way
Standard words of those who are just self-centered parasites who can't fathom the notion of respect for others.

As per my name, I suffer from insomnia. I am up at 4am most nights. Would you have that same attitude if every night at 4am, I were to have jazz music loud on so that it woke you up and you couldn't sleep? You'd be massively pissed off, not going about how it's ok because I have the right to enjoy my home.

You're attitude would be that most people sleep at 4am so this should be respected. Well most people don't want to have to listen to other people's music when they are relaxing in the garden, so the same principle applies and the needs of others should be respected.

Radio two is the station of choice of our deaf wanker neighbours. We definitely hate them!

We've tried listening to it ourselves to see if it's less annoying but all our radios are digital and theirs is an old-style one so they are at a slightly different time.

@ motogogo it’s inflicting it on other people.

@ Motherof3dogs they hate you. They live in the country for peace, not fucking Tepid FM.
