Neighbours having a karaoke party

No good going round now.
You'd just get drunken abuse, and like you said they'd just turn it up even louder.

Tomorrow with like minded neighbours is the time to vent your spleen.

Sadly, unless you live in the middle of nowhere or have exceptionally boring / quiet neighbours all year round, the odd noisy night is going to happen. I feel YABU if they are generally quiet neighbours most of the time. Some people deal with this weekly! That’s when it’s a problem.

Really selfish behaviour. Yes go to a bar - don't inflict this noise on the whole street. Shouldn't even be a one off.

Well I knocked on my neighbours door, she hadn’t read the note as was still on the doormat and I apologised and asked for it back she didn’t ask to read it, and just had a reasonable conversation with her about it, went much better than expected tbh so maybe do that?

I don’t understand the thinking behind this behaviour at all.

very rude to keep people awake whether it’s the weekend or not, lots of people work weekends now & need to b up early.

its hard enough to sleep in the hot weather without being disturbed by other peoples noise.

Perfect response!

do you live near me?! My neighbours do the same EVERY single Sunday from 2 to about 9pm, and they are foreign speaking so all the songs are in a different language!! Not that it makes much of a difference but I can’t even join in! They shout scream at each other all day every day and then just get to Sunday and it all goes on for hours, every single week, it’s doing my head in, if it was every now and then I would definetly not have a problem with it but it’s a Sunday when you hope for a little piece and quiet and it’s every week, I got so cross today (had a migraine earlier which is making me more irritated by it) so I’ve put a note through the door, not a very nice one which I am now regretting i should have knocked and also not written what I wrote 😫

YANBU. People are so selfish.

Obviously got sorted but totally unacceptable.
Hopefully won't happen again!
Believe the law about excessive noise is between 11pm and 7am - when something can be done about it.
FWIW - I have a chronic condition that is worsened by excess noise, so no way would I have coped as long as you did!
Hope your DH recovers soon and you both get some sleep!

When the people in the opposite block of flats to mine play loud music, I’m seriously tempted to leave my laptop on my balcony playing Vagina Anthem at full volume on repeat. But that would be really unfair on the rest of my block.

You're pleased because a family got evicted due to a teen party? WTF is wrong with you?

@ffsmyheadhurts It wouldn't have bothered me as a one off, but I'm sorry you're having a shit time and I hope you get some sleep and your partner is on the mend soon. 💕

Of course they would be angry at 3:15am …but you were contemplating saying something at 11pm!

That’s a huge difference.

Shame no-one recorded them and played them back their lovely performance at 8am this morning!

They sound awful! Getting carried away after a few drinks is one thing, but turning the volume up after repeated complaints and getting lairy is seriously shitty behaviour.

Hope you get some rest tonight.

@ffsmyheadhurts they were all drunk with mob mentality for sure, shame they had to waste police time too. Look forward to some peace tonight OP zzzzzz😴

Really don't understand why someone's right to disrupt an entire street is more valid than someone else's right to peace and sleep. Doesn't matter whether its a one off or not. You can still have a party and be considerate of your neighbours.

I hope you get some rest today, OP .

I feel your pain op.

I’d hate to live in your neighbourhood.

I love my sleep and have to wake up very early when I do day shifts but even I wouldn’t mind this as a one off.

If they were nuisance neighbours then I’d be annoyed but it sounds like they were having a one off celebration and life is for living.

You don’t say you have young kids, so I’m not sure why you’ve only had 6 hours of sleep over the past few days - surely you can just go bed earlier or nap during the day.

(And the one person listening to music at the beach was selfish because she could have easily just put headphones in. It’s very different than doing karaoke in your own home. It would be like having a phone call on loud speaker on a busy train vs in your own garden - people still may be able to hear it but it’s different).

That would have driven me wild last night. Like midnight is late enough but 3am??? Who does that.

We used to live in a housing estate and I couldn’t bare it. Drunk people walking past shouting at the weekends!

We moved out to the country and have never been back - now the birds wake us up. Which sounds lovely but it’s not. There’s a demented crow going caaw caaw caaw - and he has a microphone too I think! I wonder if he knows any tuna turner….

So it turns out there’s noise everywhere. How long do crows live….?!

😂 I know it's not the point of the thread but Tuna Turner is one of the best typos I've ever seen!! 😂😂😂

Neighbours probably wouldn't have given a toss had they known. They were ramping up the volume after other neighbours complained.

Karaoke in the garden is selfish, horrible neighbours. By all means in the house.

Wishing your hubby a speedy recovery.
