Can anyone commiserate with me re neighbour noise?

I live in a detached house and really appreciate the months Of November to March. The rest of the year my neighbours seem to have every window and door open, radio on in the garden and shout-talk to each other. TBH I have become a little obsessed with it and am almost waiting for their noise every day, it’s a bit sad.

Luckily we don’t have neighbours like we did in our previous house although they’re not much better..old house was a semi, the lady and her daughter would a bang up and down the stairs, slam doors, smoke right by our back door and watch us out the back with the blinds angled down.

So yeah, if anyone wants a moan..this is your place!

I feel you. We live in a detached as well, fairly large garden, but it seems that the moment I sit down with a book and a coffee on the weekend, the elderly people behind us come outside and hover on the other side of the fence, hoping for a chat, and I cannot relax at all. On top of that, a new family with three young children under the age of 5 moved in further behind us, and the mother seems to just send the kids out into the garden until sundown, every single day, and the children shout non-stop. They shout while playing, and they shout while arguing with each other.They are quite a distance away, actually, and yet their voices carry as if they were right behind us. It used to be a quiet area until those kids came along and the mother doesn't seem to take them anywhere or tell them to lower their voices. It makes it very difficult to have a relaxing dinner outside, which my family usually enjoys. Neighbors are the worst, lol.

Do they have children? WFH?

how well do you get on with them generally?
