Fed up of neighbours side door always open!!!

Their age isn't irrelevant because it's likely the reason for the noise. At 80 their hearing will have deteriorated, hence the TV volume being turned up and having loud phone conversations. Sadly, this is what happens with age - it will happen to all of us. If OP complains the only thing they could do is buy hearing aids, assuming they don't already have them, but if they do then the TV and their conversations are the volume they need them to be.

I feel your pain , I have the same.

Don’t engage in a thread about noisy neighbours, and tell people what noises they can mention!!
Jesus wept…

I'd find it endearing. But I'm someone who finds city noise (trains, people, ambulances) comforting. I freak out when its quiet.

No, I can't. Even hearing my trigger noises discussed will cause a physical reaction and a great deal of stress. And jeering at someone for being unable to deal with noise is like jeering at someone for being autistic or having PTSD.

Fingers crossed

Don't forget as ppl get older their hearing gets worse so they may not realise, my 21 year old just said a neighbour is playing crap music(we have a window open) I am 60 could not hear it!

Move out of a bungalow ed area. Generally a sign of an old community, as most of them have sold their 'massive fucking houses wgich they don't actually need' according to some on MN.
You clearly think ageism is acceptable

@exceptionale I'm guessing this couple have lived in their bungalow for decades and you're the newbie having moved in just four years ago, but you've already had "reason" to complain to them several times. Maybe they're missing their old neighbours and thought you'd be a nice young couple, but you sound joyless, unfriendly and utterly intolerant. They're not doing anything wrong - just living their lives. How would you like it if you had an intolerant neighbour who complained about the noise your DC make playing in the garden (another perfectly reasonable noise)? I'd rather live next door to your elderly neighbours than you.

You're actually vile.

What are you hoping for? Dementia? A stroke? Heart attack?

They could be a bit deaf and don’t hear their own noise.

Such a charming neighbour.

Its normal household noise and wouldn't hold up were you trying a formal noise complaint.

Do you have your door open too or just poor double glazing? It may be time to get better windows/doors fitted if you can hear them with yours shut.

As you mention being pregnant do you have a baby? Does the baby noise disturb them at all ever because I wouldn't go throwing stones if your household is potentially as noisy but in a different manner.

you are BU to judge folk by their age.

😃😃
Of please
You cannot talk about noise without triggering??

If it’s not after 10/ 11pm and they are otherwise good neighbours you need to find a way to deal with it. You should read some of the horror stories on here about weed smoking, parties all night, people living in a tip, cars dismantled in the front garden, aggression/ intimidation and so on. This sounds like normal house noise.

And just because someone is 80 they don’t have to spend the day dribbling in a reclining chair. That’s a bit of a backward assumption.

So uncharitable and ageist.
Another pop at the elderly post.
I'd love my 84 year old parent to be making noise in the kitchen rather than slowly dying from dementia in a home

Maybe they have one of those oldie porn shop door curtains.

How do they manage to keep the door wide open without the wasps'n'moths getting in ?
Flies , bees , daddy long legs
Bloody hate them but they swarm in !

You’re a nasty piece of work you ain’t ya! Good luck to them I hope they turn their radio up a lot louder this year!

This comment is actually really triggering for misophonia sufferers. Please be more considerate.

Good for them i say! Why should they sit indoors to please you. They prob don't have many years left.

I agree completely.
Nobody needs to shout when living near others, at least on a regular basis.
Nobody with decent hearing needs to blare their tv/stereo/radio/gaming devices.
Living near others comes with a list of common courtesies: be kind, be respectful, be polite and tread lightly.
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.

They’re talking, answering the phone and watching tv. This is a you problem.

It's not a 'you problem' if they're doing it really loudly! It's inconsiderate. The world is divided between those who can tune out noise and those who are really stressed by it. As someone who falls in the latter camp, I think there needs to be more understanding that we can't just ignore noise and it's very stressful and invasive.

OP, I would maybe talk to them about it and frame it as a problem revolving around their privacy as much as something that disturbs you - i.e. 'you might not be aware but when your door is open we can hear all your conversations, which I'm sure you'd prefer to keep private. Also it does feel a bit intrusive for us.'

They are allowed to do this, if that’s what they wish, however they may be completely unaware how noisy they are. You’ve got 2 choices as far as I see it, 1) go round and ask if they could try and be a little quieter as you can hear everything they say & do. Or 2) start playing some rage against the machine / death metal and hope they take the hint! I’d be drawn to do number 1!

I don't shut my door in the summer unless it's night time. I'm not especially noisy but you can hear the phone ring etc. from the garden. I used to hear my next door neighbour speaking on the phone almost every night until she moved.
Some people live next door to hostile or really anti social people, so I'd be grateful that isn't you.
