Live in a terraced house, never heard anything from old neighbours so was very fortunate for several years.
New neighbours moved in 6 months ago. Young couple now with a baby. Pleasant enough, exchange hellos on the street, they've put my bin out when I went on holiday and I hadn't asked them too which was nice...
They are fairly quiet but louder than the old neighbours, playing music, baby crying occasionally, tv noise... I am generally not bothered by this, my view is daytime noise is fine and to be expected in a terrace. My two can be noisy on occasion - but my household noise stops at 8pm. This is when my children go down and after that my house is quiet.
But approx once a month, always on a Friday night, the neighbours seem to throw a party with friends until about 4am. Its going on right now. I currently feel like I am connected to a rowdy pub. Right now they are tunelessly screaming along to Amy Winehouse. The music is so loud I am amazed my two are still asleep.
I am more than happy to go around and tell them to turn it off, which i think they would. But I didn't because I thought, is them doing this once a month unreasonable? This is their first house, I remember throwing parties when I first moved out...
But at the same time, I am sat here awake getting miffed thinking about my alarm going off at 7am and getting the kids to sports clubs tomorrow first thing.
What do other people accept re noise on a infrequent basis at the weekend?
Also they are now singing beautiful liar, Beyonce and it is painful.
