The noise of summer

I bet you stick knives in balls, too.

Keep the posts coming OP, I’m having a great laugh on this thread.

How do you know it was cheap chocolate? Why are you on a parent's forum?

Can you see that you are in the minority here OP? Not many on here are saying it's not annoying, but most are saying that people who have neighbours just accept it as a factor of where you choose to live.

You arranging to have your lawn cut whilst you are out at work so it doesn't bother you must be really annoying for others. Try and see it from both sides and it may bother you less. The only person suffering from this is you.

If not then as some others have said - you can't control others' behaviour when you have neighbours. What they do is entirely up to them. How much you choose to accept it or let it bother you is up to you.

If it bothered me that much I would move somewhere more isolated. If an Easter egg hunt bothered you so much that it's still on your mind a year later would suggest there is more to this than just the noise.

I live in a row of terraced houses and lots of them have kids. It's annoying sone days but I always remind myself that it's my choice to live here. Building work/ extensions/ loft conversions make way more noise and have annoyed me more. I also love ten doors down from a primary school who seem to spend their entire days outside. The noise also bothers me but I just accept it as I live here the school didn't exist when I moved here - which had taken more acceptance too)

The only thing you have written that I think might be fair enough is this part

Would it be unreasonable to ask them to move their trampolines further down the lawn away from my patio to reduce the noise.

But asked in a diplomatic way. Everything else YABU

I paid a lot of money for this house because it is detached and has a large garden.

Boo-fucking-hoo.

Yes constant noise is annoying. But YABVU wanting others to plan THEIR time in THEIR gardens around you.

If you want peace and quiet, move to a house with no neighbours.

Could you wear ear defenders or listen to music\ podcasts on ear phones? There are some types of earplugs that go inside the year and don't block out everything so you can still hear what you need to.

I sympathise as I have misophonia and normal noise can be horrible for me but unfortunately normal living sounds are not unreasonable and people need to live their lives so it's necessary to manage it.

You’re probably not going to get the best response on a parent’s site tbf

I pay a lot for the man to come and mow it during the week when I am out at work

which I’m sure delights everyone working from home.

And obviously neighbours d would have to agree too so not to disturb neighbour c and of course neighbour f.....

Op. You are in for a long hard summer if you can't bear the noise of kids playing in their large gardens and people moving their lawns.

Many people with kids but houses with large gardens so their kids can play out in them. - all summer long

No you can't expect your direct neighbours to go door to door and agree on the exact same time to cut their lawn so as not to disturb you as opposed to what suits them personally.

You can ask of course but they'll say no and just call you crazy dog lady behind your back. You've nothing to gain here.
It was mental buying a house in a family area if you want peace and quiet in the evenings. Never ever going to happen!

You're being so very unreasonable, there's no way I can believe this post is real.

Wow only March, clocks just barely changed and there's a kids on trampolines post already.

Personally if I couldnt stand hearing children I'd be in a detached house quite far from neighbours. Or utilise headphones. Not acting as if I'm life's main character and everybody else must shhhh at my behest. Problem solved.

What time do you mow your lawn? I bet you're getting right on somebody's last nerve too😁

I don't understand why neighbours A and B can't at least agree to coordinate the time they mow their lawns

😂😂😂

I don’t mind a bit of summer noise but if I want a quiet relax in my garden I put on my headphones and listen to a podcast or audiobook. I also use earplugs too if it’s especially loud. x

Maybe they are working during the week, assuming they also have large detached houses that they need to pay for 🤭

I quite like the noise (and grass smell) of lawnmowers.

You’d love our ndn, OP. he’ll happily spend an entire day mowing, leaf-blowing and jet washing, all whilst shouting into his mobile. He loves a bit of noise.

You chose to live there
dont like noise then Move - simples

Dogs are not the same as children for fuck’s sake. So ridiculous. You bought a house next to a family home with a garden so the human beings who live there will make use of it - as is their right.

Oh dear op. I can’t decide whether to roll my eyes, laugh or feel pity for you. Especially your pompous hyacinth bucket 5 hours is quite enough for children and your rather bemusing noise of summer track.

im sorry to tell you but kids are allowed to play in their gardens as long as their parents let them, and yes that will often be as long as its light. They can also mow their lawns as they please.

I think I will settle on pity, you sound so uptight , pompous and miserable. And that does not make for a happy person. I’m fairly sure if it wasn’t this, you’d have something else to whinge about.

I mow my lawn on a weekend because that’s when I’m off work.

or I could do it after I’ve fed my children their tea at about 7pm now the nights are getting lighter, which one would you prefer?

YABU. You choose to live in a residential area with families either side of you. What do you expect? Would you prefer them indoors on their iPads?

Jet washers and weed smokers by open doors are another summer irritation.
But the biggest irritation of all are the super loud moped groups that buzz up and down the roads like giant mosquitoes.

Ffs, you are insane. Not to mention a lot of other things.

I live heating kids enjoying themselves in summer and lawn mowing reminds me of summer so I don’t mind it. Why shouldn’t my DC be able to enjoy an evening bbq for dinner?

Honestly this is the second thread I've read in days moaning about normal neighbour noise. Go live on the moon op or somewhere far far away from other YABU
