Neighbours having their own Glasto this evening

There’s a music festival in my town and I’m sandwiched between three venues. I wish I could just hear one song at a time… it’s chaotic to my brain!!

Those saying chill out, it’s a summer Saturday night.

do you genuinely think it’s acceptable to play music so loud that your neighbours can’t have a conversation in their own garden because it’s so loud?

I don’t, that’s a ridiculous volume.

Our local park, about five minutes away, has had an event going on all day playing drum and bass and house music loudly since about 12 o'clock.
Not my favourite type of music but it appears to have finished now.
They're having a country music one next weekend I'm not looking forward to that one either.

Op has disappeared do you think she gone to join the fun or do you think she's stole a riot van

How dramatic 😂

I don’t understand how they can’t feel paranoid. I had people over today, music on quiet but I still kept turning down because I don’t want to piss neighbours off. My partner keeps saying “it’s not even loud” and I know he’s right but I just don’t think we need it any louder than background music. I like my neighbours , I want them to like me too

one of my favourite things about where I live is that people have a lot of parties in the summer, quite often with the exact music you describe, or else latin pop. I fully get that it’s not for everyone but it brings me joy and means I don’t need to worry about playing music in the garden either if I want to. Genuinely sometimes worry that the area will change and it’ll stop!

If i was the neighbour i would get her done for making a false police report and wasting emergency services time

Give it another half an hour, ring 101 and say that you can hear fighting and screaming. Not ethical but might just do the job.

YANBU It's unacceptable to make THAT level of noise and disturb multiple other households. Utterly selfish behaviour.

My neighbour loves to play loud music outside regularly, we can hear all the words in our home next door BUT it's nowhere near the noise levels you describe, and I can put up with it until she moves out in 2 months time. I would not be able to tolerate the noise you describe - at all. I'd be knocking on the door and telling them to turn it right down, selfish arseholes.

To the "it's a hot summer's day leave them be brigade", why does their enjoyment get to trump the sanity levels of dozens of neighbours? You cannot hear yourself think when noise levels are extremely high like that. It's stressful and rage inducing and no party from a neighbour should be loud enough to cause that.

Because 6am on a weekend is unreasonable. 9pm isn’t. HTH.

Call the police if it goes on after midnight. It’s selfish to ruin time outside for others as well. Thoughtless neighbours who don’t give a toss.

Or perhaps they just don’t want to listen to their music. It’s not about being a miserable arsehole it’s about bringing able to be in your own house without hearing someone else’s music.

If your neighbour was playing the 1812 Overture at 6am I expect you’d have views. How is this different?

Absolutely if it was early hours of the morning or every night. But your talking about 8pm on a Saturday night in the summer as a one off. Their will still be kids out playing screaming their little heads of at that time.

I cant believe you rang 101 on a one of party on a weekend in the summer in the early evening. What did you want to happen for the police to go round and shut it down
How about to be considerate of others and turn the fucking noise DOWN please!

You have my sympathy OP.

You can get an app to measure the decibels if you want to complain about the noise.
Play them some Wagner at 6am tomorrow morning right in their bedroom window. See how they like it.

We’ve had 7 hours of a thumping bass. I’m all for people having fun as a one-off but this is doing my head in!

For a moment I thought you might have been my neighbour because we’ve got the exact same thing going on here. Only it started at 3!

Noise enforcement should be the responsibility of the police. I'm not sure which government changed the law, but it was a mistake.

Are you my neighbour? Same here plus own DJ. It’s ridiculously loud 😣

Our neighbours (they do this very regularly) have been hosting their party since 4pm with incredibly loud music. So loud that my friend who lives at the end of the street, approximately 20 houses away, text me earlier to ask if it was them again because she could hear the music. It’s inconsiderate and entitled. All our windows are shut now because it’s so loud and it’s hot. We have a white noise machine in the children bedrooms to help a bit.

I hope your neighbours cut it out soon, you have my sympathy, OP!

i sympathise! I had that last night ( or should I say morning) randomly the house a few doors down started playing extremely loud house music At 3am, I had to be up for work at 6.

go join and enjoy!

summer is for partying
