To call the police regarding neighbour's loud music?

This thread makes it easy to see those who are considerate for their neighbours and those others who are all about "me me me". If only each house had their owner type pasted above the door then the former could avoid the latter and the chavvy types can live together blaring noise out to their hearts content. Then everyone is happy.

Yes but one offs aren't the issue, speakers in the garden are just massively inconsiderate. I go to quite a few summer parties but not one of my friends or DH's friends have speakers in the garden. Even as a teenager I had a party in my family detached home with quite a bit of distance between us and the neighbours but I didn't have speakers outside as I wasn't hosting a music festival!

It's a party it's what people do. Low music at party's doesn't really go. As I said days /weeks of peace. A one of party and its a massive upset. Give and take let them have their party.

Wouldn't work if 20 people listening to the music. How many parties or nightclubs do you attend where you all have to wear earphones?

Yeah that was me- was more a short term suggestion to help calm her if she is getting distressed I wasn't suggesting she should have to or should wear them daily or anything but in your situation my immediate priority would be helping my child muffle the noise so she was comfortable and settled, noise complaint later maybe

To be fair, if they are nightshift then they won’t mind noise at night 😂

Glad I replied then. Just trying to help

Police won't do anything. Maybe say some hurty comments about on Twitter about the neighbours, then the police should be right there. Seriously though sorry OP, lots of people are just selfish twats

If OP put a speaker in her garden and played Wagner opera at full volume I suspect the noisy neighbours wouldn't be happy about that.

Why do they get to inflict their music on everyone else? I'm so glad I have only considerate neighbours.

@Zebedee999 the same ones that have fireworks

Totally agree. A one off isn't a police or a council issue.

Why doesn't the person creating the noise where headphones? Why must everyone else?

On our council website it says thru don't do anything about one of party's.

I have never understood noise complaints really . People have weeks /Months of peace. One night of loud music and people are up in arms. And seems to forget alm the peaceful nights they have had . And can't allow their weights to have one night of music.

Summer is in the way so MN will be full of music complains, bbq complaints, children playing complaints.

Some people are more sensitive to different sounds than other people.

its a shame they didn’t warn you OP. We have had this and it’s gone on for hours and with words I’d rather my young kids didn’t hear. At least with a warning of a party you could have gone out for dinner, to a friends or stayed somewhere. I know you shouldn’t have to buy some people don’t care about others - they’re very inconsiderate and I hope it doesn’t become regular for you.

A big speaker in the garden is very unreasonable as they know the whole neighbourhood will hear it. We all have different noise tolerance levels, mine is very low.
What sort of people think it is ok to inflict their noise on the neighbours?

She could get the headphones on. Why is she upset about loud music

Hi all. I am very noise sensitive myself and although I’m happy for people to have fun and enjoy the weather, I would struggle with a speaker like this when I’m trying to get kids to sleep as well. OP I’d recommend Loop Ear Plugs for both of you. They’re great and lots of options so you can still engage and chat but they take the edge off the bass of the thumping music. They also have silent ones and ones you can swap between. It won’t add the link so I’ve deleted. I’ll try to add to a separate message.

Its the last forecast properly sunny day for a while. Of course it's OK for people to play some music and enjoy their gardens as long as it's not going on late into the night, into anti social hours.

If OPs daughter has specific sensitivity to noise, she should wear ear defenders, as many children do.

The actual owners who removed most of the walls and didn’t install carpets or blinds never airbnbed their house out (and I do wonder if they know their home is being sublet out in this way), nor did they have a grand piano. That’s their mate who’s house sitting while they’re abroad for several years. All we ever heard from them was if they occasionally went out in the evening and their dogs barked whenever someone walked past the front door.

I did once go round to complain to a renter about the TV volume, which was so loud I could hear it through the front door and they couldn’t hear the doorbell.

Sympathies - everyone is so entitled with no consideration of neighbours - never used to be like this - why cant they have their music indoors ? Crazy - this would make my blood boil!
