Letter from HA about loud music?

Honestly, if you couldn't see that you were being unreasonable about this, I think you're selfish.

Wear headphones.

Your neighbours don't want to hear your music or listen to offensive lyrics.

I'm not surprised your neighbour avoids you.

You don’t seem sorry?

do you play loud sweary music??

I had a neighbour like you. Playing music in his garden. On the end he was evicted.

Selfish inconsiderate anti social behavior.

Do the locals a favor. Just stop it.

Why on earth would you play music in the garden?

How selfish.

Just because nobody else has admitted receiving a similar letter doesn't mean you are the only person to get one. Regardless, your music has probably disturbed quite a few of your neighbours so be more considerate.

OP why the fuck do you think your neighbours want to hear your music?
Keep it indoors or wear earbuds or headphones FFS.

I'm not surprised your neighbour ignores you - you are rude and ignorant.

So loud and offensive and you wonder why people find you difficult to approach.

This is your Damascus moment.

So you’re playing loud music outside with explicit lyrics?

I don’t understand why you’re annoyed. It sounds like you did this thing you’re being accused of doing.

So stop doing it.

So, are you going to keep it down?

It's anti social behaviour to play music that can clearly be heard by other people .That's possibly why your neighbour doesn't want to engage with you.

I too wouldn't be waving like a loon or trying to be friends with my CF neighbour who thinks we ALL want to listen to their music!

Hasn't it occurred to you that during this long spell of good weather we've been having, almost all your neighbours will have been spending more time than usual in their garden? Even if they've been in the house, the chances are that they will have doors or windows open far more than normal. Sound carries and music is an individual taste, not to be inflicted on other people against their will. Your lack of consideration for other people is the problem here.

My assumption about people who play loud music without consideration for others is that they're going to be pretty aggressive and unreasonable when I ask them to turn it down. Why should they? I can't tell them what to do! It's their right! etc...

If you're not like that, then I apologize, but it would always be my assumption and I'd err on the side of caution.

Just f.y.i., nobody else wants to be forced to listen to your music. That's actually a recognized form of torture.

Soon as the suns out my neighbours start with their god awful music. I wouldn’t approach them as the boyfriend looks scary and gives me bad vibes. Please tell us you at least have good taste in music???

How do you know nobody else has had a letter?

i approached my horrible neighbours on several occasions and politely asked them to keep the noise down, i was called a mother fucking cunt for my pains, and told to "fuck off woman, we don't speak to women, move if you don't like it" So while i am sure the OP would not respond like that, it shows just how scary it can be to complain about noise. I'd never do it again, I live alone and felt really intimidated

@autumnbeee's behaviour sounds very entitled and pretty selfish.

Several other posters on here are sounding the same. Glad they're not MY neighbours!

I do have music on in the garden, I play it through one of those small portable speakers. BUT it is only when I am sitting out and the speaker is right next to me. If I move more than a few feet away I can't hear it.

If your neighbours can hear your music then it's too loud.

Most people don't want confrontation and to be honest if I would have done the same if there was a complaints procedure.

Yes it would have been nice if they had approached you directly, but it would have been much nicer if they hadn't had the need to in the first place.

Tell me you are an anti social neighbour who doesn't give two hoots about your neighbours, without telling me you are an anti social neighbour who doesn't give two hoots about your neighbours. 🙄

And people in rural areas have neighbours too dear. 🙄

You shouldn’t need to be asked/told.
Stop being an obnoxious neighbour!

I wouldn't dream of playing music in the garden and we have half an acre, adjacent to neigbours with similar sized or bigger gardens. Next door had a marquee for a 21st and wrote to all the neigh ours and dropped off wine and chocolates.

@autumnbeee you have been anti-social. Apologise and get yourself some headphones.

Don't Play Music/Have Anything Noisy/Arguments/Shouting in the garden. It's totally annoying and you could put headphones on. I really hate hearing other peoples music/radio/tiktok noise, as well as dogs barking. We have someone around here whose dog barks before 6am! If you are in a built up area keep your noise to a bare minimum. Just be considerate except if you are out on a farm with no neighbours. We are a small crowded island and everyone has to consider their impact on everyone nearby always.

You will need to keep the music down, as the complainant will have been informed that s/he can complain the the Local Authority and the Local Authority can take legal action re statutory noise

• obiv if that were ever to happen your HA will be very unhappy re anti social behaviour and you could end up being on a warning re your tenancy...

Why cant the people annoyed by normal level noise wear sound cancelling headphones???
