Neighbours having a karaoke party

The neighbours directly behind us have been having a karaoke party since about 6pm. It’s been fine up until now, and it’s suddenly ramped up a notch and they’re drunkenly screaming. We can hear it with the window closed, but it’s too hot to have the window closed anyway!

My partner has just had surgery and we both hoped to get some decent sleep tonight but it’s not going to happen now, is it?!

Every so often the microphone screeches with feedback too. AIBU to go around and say something?

Someone else has just shouted at them to shut up 😅

We live in a really quiet area. As in, usually nothing after about 9pm. I just think it’s really inconsiderate to have a full blown karaoke going, outdoors, at 11:30 at night. Do it inside or, preferably, at a karaoke bar. Every time it sounds like it’s stopped they put on another song and get louder somehow.

No earplugs.

It’s 11:20 at night. I understand it’s a Saturday but that’s no excuse to keep the whole street awake! If they could sing it would be one thing, but they really can’t.

I would think many people are up at this time on a Saturday.

If it's a one off I think you have to lighten up a bit. It's really not that late and it's Saturday!

If at all possible and I had the means to do it, I would record the whole thing and play it back to them, speakers against the wall, at full volume starting at 5 am. Every morning for a week.

It’s a one off on a Saturday night. Let it go.

AgnesMcDoo · 18/07/2026 23:21

It’s Saturday night. Think you need to let this one go.

It’s annoying agree but if it’s a one off it’s hard to be too cross. Have you got ear plugs?

Do you live near me! Had to close my windows but thankfully they eventually retreated inside presumably to watch the football.

I'm a miserable shit and generally hope it starts pishing with rain from around 8pm every evening 😆.
