FFS here we go again! Neighbours

I must be doing outside wrong… I can’t say I’ve ever had this problem with noise. Have all that you mentioned around me.

I think the closest I been to irritated was when the neighbors had someone working their house… power tools-fine, radio-fine, whistling random notes that weren’t actually a song or tune-that one annoyed me a bit. Because really who whistles just random ass notes that don’t belong next each other?!

My only laugh out of was when I was chatting with the neighbors having the work done I joked about it. They both visibly cringed and agreed it was awful but the guy did good work so they put up with it. I laughed and told them that at least they suffered too.

For them to laugh at the person calling?

You're the problem I'm afraid. Sounds like everyday noise and people enjoying their garden.

This must be your neighbour unfortunately. People need to have respect for others regarding the noise they make. The constant bounce of a basketball, screaming on a trampoline and loud music played outside is totally inconsiderate. As is the constant barking of dogs left outside.

If the fires are causing a smoke disturbance then you need to report it to your local council.

Kids playing with balls - Perfectly normal.

Dogs barking - Annoying, but the only way to combat it, is by speaking to the owners to see if they can train it.

Blaring music - Also annoying, but again, the only way to combat it, is by speaking to your neighbours and asking them to turn it down.

Complaining on MN and bashing council estates isn’t going to get you anywhere. Noise when you have neighbours is inevitable. You can’t expect complete silence day in day out.

You can't get police to attend for burglary!

We live in a naice area and if someone played music in their garden the police would be called pronto.

No, fair point about the jet washer and children , but when I was young my parents made me keep the noise down ! I don't mind the children really , but the dogs get me down a bit.
Maybe it's an age thing too , more things bother you.

OP - AIBU

MN - Yes it’s part of living on an estate…

OP- I am not being Unreasonable, and digs herself into a hole trying to sway others opinions 🤯

I don't think it's normal at all to be having bonfires in a residential area. And I grew up on a rough council estate where people were forever having bonfires and generally being antisocial so I know what you're saying OP and won’t rush to be offended! 😅

A lot of people automatically become arseholes when the warm weather starts. Inconsiderate cunts 😡

So why did you mention council estates in your op?

Jet washing isn't going to happen every day I assume.

I bought a house with a garden for my children to play in, they're entitled too.

Well they certainly shouldn't be doing that if you've got a high mortgage, have you told them?

Maybe do a leaflet drop to advise them?

Or move to a rough council estate, then you'd expect what you've got where you are, but think it was justified.

People over the back to me had their jet washer on all day on Saturday when it was nice , dogs barking , kids shouting.
I feel your pain op, but people are just like this and don't care much about the neighborhood or keeping the noise down.

I agree with you OP, I think you're getting a slating cos of all the council house nonsense you worded around the point you were trying to make. I think the first bit of sunshine makes us all go a bit mental, I've been out today, everyone going mad for barbecue stuff etc.😂 Absolutely hate basketball noise, and loud music, I live in a mid terrace and am currently amidst all of this, plus a jet washer🤦noise cancelling earphones are my salvation. I did enjoy a quiet coffee this morning though lol, I put on bird noises and pretend I live in MN fabled house in the middle of nowhere it's the closest I'll get FFS😂

People paying back a large debt to a bank vs a council tenant does not give you special privilege.🙄

Perfectly normal sounds of people, of all types, enjoying the nice weather.🤷‍♀️

That's people just living though...

OP mentioned bonfires in her first post.

I'm with you OP btw. It's every single vaguely sunny day - endless racket from all sides. There's just no need for it.

People suck!

Who ever said the countryside is quiet?😄

I'm with you OP. It'd be great if everyone were more noise aware.

I live rurally and it's bloody noisy here too OP! The damn birds never shut up, tweet tweet tweeting all the time. The chickens 2 doors down yell all day too. Then there are the various dogs, the damn horses clipping and clopping up and down and in the distance all I can hear are yodelling sheep (noisy buggers!) Don't forget the passing tractors, sheep trucks, horse vans, 4x4s, dirt bikes and last week there was a flock of escaped donkeys running up and down.

I can smell bonfires and BBQs (the neighbours are never happy if unless they are burning stuff) along with muck (it's spreading time!)

No one get's any peace out in the nature - best to stay in on the sofa!

OP, I’m with you. My neighbours have a yappy dog that drives me nuts - nothing to be done about it, though. And the neighbour next door but one plays loud music as soon as the weather is nice - her choice of music is not mine, and I think it’s rude. If you’re having a party, that’s one thing - anything’s fine occasionally. It’s the relentless nature of it that I find a bit wearing, but I have to live with my neighbours, so I just grind my teeth a little and put up with it.

Costs a lot of money to be a NiMBY, sorry it’s not paying off for you OP 😞

You don't have any more right to quiet because you have a mortgage.

If you're worried about the dog call the rspca or something

God op - you are just digging digging and digging. STOP.

TL;DR: YABU, sounds like daily noise and to be expected when the sun is out. I love a rave or two in the garden lol. Save your money and move somewhere more rural - though from the sounds of it you might complain about that too....

EarPods work wonders.

I’m in the countryside and muck spreading is happening at the moment. Can’t stick EarPods up my nose to help.
