Hi all. AIBU to want / call the police for neighbour blasting music? I could probably tolerate but DD9 is getting very upset.

It's the council you call unless it's in a public place

They’ll only entertain a noise complaint if it’s between the hours of 11pm and 7am

Our council’s noise team can be contacted at any time of day nowadays. Used to be after 11pm but they changed that a while back.

Just ask them to turn it down 🤷🏻‍♀️

You need to play the longer game. Go on your council website and find out how to complain in your area. Make a 2 week noise diary, submit it and they’ll send someone out then write them a letter. It worked for me for noise and for constant bonfires.
Re: police, some will say it’s a council matter, depending on your area.
