Lovely day, neighbours playing music in garden

Presumably she doesn’t practise outside for hours on end when people are trying to have a quiet afternoon in the garden?

Dh listens to radio 2 constantly in the garden when working or relaxing, Its not loud and we only have 2 sets of neighbours as it's rural. I hope they don't think we're the neighbours from hell!

You should all be glad you aren't my poor neighbours ... dd has an audition soon and is practicing a lot, she's very loud (but very good thankfully) I hope they love opera

Yes it's annoying and I'd probably put music on too. People behind us have been cutting their grass for an hour now and that's irratating too (especially as they only have a small garden so don't know how it's taken an hour).
Thankfully we're going ou in a minute.

That made me smile! Dp had music on when he was fixing his motorbike Saturday and next door but ones toddler was dancing (he always wants to come and see the bikes)

Nothing wrong with music but not all day long.

What's wrong with playing music outside? As long as it's not all day or late (after 11) at night

It’s extremely rude and akin to anti-social behaviour in my book.

Those who do it leave others around them with no option but to listen, if they play it loudly. Very selfish.

If you want music, play it quietly, indoors or on earphones.

I feel the same way about people shouting, darks barking, incessant drilling or banging, singing or engine revving. There’s just no need to subject other people to your noise. Some people seem oblivious though or think it’s perfectly normal. It’s not.

The thing is if you live close to people you need to be more considerate not less. It is not for those not playing loud music to be more tolerate.

People know they are being noisy. They also hate having it pointed out and hate other peoples noise.

You cannot underestimate the impact this has on people and we are still in the middle of a pandemic.

I wouldn't expect anyone to wear headphones while listening to music in their garden, but it is perfectly possible to have it at a volume where you can hear it but it doesn't intrude too much on the neighbours. Unfortunately a lot of the 'it's my garden I can do what I want' brigade are incapable of listening to their music at anything less than full volume

Hah yesterday we had the neighbour's loud music, screaming (and I mean high pitched, constant screaming at each other in anger type of screaming, not the ebb and flow of play kind of screaming) and dog who barks CONSTANTLY every time I am in my garden.

It was joyful.

This is why I wine! 😭😂

I'd go with the motorhead option as they're awesome.

If you hate them give them a dose of Pitchshifter 👍🏻

They are insufferable idiots who play loud music not giving a flying fcuk if anyone else wants to quietly enjoy their garden after a difficult week,or on night shifts,have young children sleeping.or just want to be.none of these things irritate anyone else but entitled egos who think they can do what they want in their garden.well they can,but when it stops other people doing what they want because they are intruding,then it's no,don't be a selfish fool.Yanbu at all.

We should start having loud sex in our gardens😁

I mean, it's our garden, during the day, so we have a right to do whatever. Innit.

@fearfulfran because music really carries. You are making multiple neighbours listen to music they didn't choose, and it's ongoing and regular, in a way that even construction or child noise or dogs aren't. How would you feel if your new neighbours felt the same about playing their Black Sabbath or grime or just singing loudly outdoors on a sunny day?

Their quiet doesn't disturb you at all. If you want to listen to music regularly in your garden, than the neighbourly thing is absolutely to use headphones or move somewhere with fewer neighbours.

*Headphones while you’re listening to music

Because frearful if everyone decided to play music in their garden, or rev their car whil they’re tinkering with the car, or let their kids scream endlessly or let their dog bark for hours without telling it to be quiet or bring it in just because they could the neighbourhood would be a really unpleasant environment to live in. People who inflict their noise on others generally expect others not to do it to them so they can hear their perfectly curated choice of music otherwise they wouldn’t be able to hear it over the din of everyone else’s perfectly curated choice of music. Just wear headphones ffs.

Unbelievable.

For a start, the church and school were there before you moved in.

And music as such is not a problem. It's the volume

Why can't people be considerate?

How is it rude & offensive to play music in your own garden?. I was lucky enough to buy a house with a garden & I will bloody well use it. I will play some music, my kids will have nerf wars out there & camp out with their friends. I will have friends over for drunken bbq's, hell I might even get a hot tub this year. All of that is OK because it's MY garden

You really don't understand how it's rude? You are taking away the enjoyment of other peoples gardens with your SHITTY music.
The people around you were also lucky enough to buy a house with a garden but massively unlucky to have a selfish prick for a neighbour, i.e YOU.

It is not OK because it's YOUR garden if your horrific choice of music spills into THEIR garden. Is it fine for me to pile my garden high with horse shit because it's MY garden? It would whiff over to your Garden of Hell, but surely that's okay as the shit is just in my garden? I was lucky enough to buy a house with a garden, I will keep 6 tonnes of actual shit in it if I want, thank you very much.

Sinkgirl, Im the same. Three different types of music. Also the never ending bloody barking of their dogs. My immediate neighbour, their dog barks at every mortal thing, even when there is nothing there. I would ban music in gardens, it is selfish and inconsiderate. What makes people think you want to listen to their music?

Moronic behaviour. Everybody has the right to enjoy their garden - that means decent people need to keep the noise and music within their own boundary - not inflict it on others. So, if you want to listen to music, wear headphones. If you want drunken louts yelling through the night, keep the, in your house. Having a garden doesn't give you the right to annoy everybody else in the neighbourhood.
