To be annoyed by this neighbour

Not unreasonable to mention it's a HA bungalow. It's relevant because she can report him to the HA. Most new developments have a 3 strikes policy for HA tenants.

My only thought was does he have any idea you can hear every word?

If he knows, he might turn it down!

Would it be obvious if an anonymous note was from you?

I would send something saying, just to let you know people living around can hear every word when you are on speaker phone. No issue, but wanted to advise in case you are ever having a conversation which needs to be confidential

(& I get the relevance to social housing - if you were to report then private rent, council house, owned etc. would make a difference as to where to!)

Christ Almighty, some people have a real chip on their shoulder.
She says, 'do I contact the social housing provider?' and some posters have advised her to do so.
If he was a home-owner she'd have asked/been advised about something relevant to that. If he was a private renter she'd have asked/been advised about something relevant to that.

Sad as it is, it's all largely just noise of daily life. Some people are simply noisier than others.

I can completely understand how annoying it must be though if you've had the gift of lovely quiet neighbours until now.

But largely (bar possibly the car) he's doing nothing reportable other than making more noise than you are used to.

Not necessarily illegal. One of my old cars was heavily modified but everything was legally declared to the insurance company.

He's being inconsiderate with the loud phone calls and the noisy car. He may just be a loud person in general?

Report the noise to social housing if it continues. I would.

The context of his housing situation is not relevant in this case. Why would it be? The fact you mentioned he lived in social housing is giving the impression YOU as the OP find it relevant to your post.

I feel for you OP.

The social housing bit is only relevant in terms of recourse to address the anti social behaviour, so I get why it was mentioned. It's a shame if you can't have a word with him directly, or perhaps someone else can?

Barking dogs at 6am isn't acceptable. A speaker phone conversation you can hear in your bedroom with the windows shut is clearly too loud but he may be unaware of the impact of this. Obnoxious engine revving/ exhaust.. well there's legislation on this so you're right to complain.

Nice try but there absolutely no relevance to include if they own ,rent or HA
It was a dig at HA
why an earth would you say if they own or a tenant if your are complaining about a car exhaust

i live in a quite little street. Local HA moved in a guy on the same principle that “good” children and made to sit next to “difficult” children at school - that is, the hope that the “good” would rub off on the “difficult”.

within a month he had had a full-on row in his front garden with his ex during which he yelled and swore relentlessly at her; yelled at his visiting children (“come in now, you fucking cunts”); taken to sitting outside smoking weed and talking on his phone using speaker until 3 in the morning; got a bully dog which was never muzzled and never walked but left outside in the front garden; left his parked car idling for what felt like half an hour every morning; played what some might call music at astonishing levels; dropped cans of energy drinks and fag ends and Greggs wrappers all down the street …

don’t tell me that my visceral contempt and disgust, my rage that he’d been dumped here, is classist and snobbery, because it wasn’t. He was at best thoughtless and struggling and at worst a selfish bullying oaf.

So what was the relevance of social housing in your OP?

A single man being allocated a social housing bungalow must have some additional needs? At least here, single men have no chance of getting any kind of social housing.

Sadly, I can guarantee that the cars with the straight-through illegal exhausts on this estate always come up the roads from the pockets of "affordable housing" round the boundaries, the rubbish is only in the front gardens of the affordable houses and the bins are only out on the verges where everyone has to see them round the affordable houses.

Social housing is included by law in every housing development over 10 houses and no planning this century has been turned down because the neighbours didn't want social housing near them. The type of person they will house is not a valid reason to turn down an application.

I think it might be your own head up your arse.

I sympathise OP. It doesn’t matter how quickly the dog gets taken back in, once you’re awake that’s it. Council environmental officers won’t care because it’s not a lengthy time. I have the same but from 5am. I don’t buy the “my dog is special “ argument because all dogs can be trained - it’s all about their owners - and I love dogs in case pp think this is dog bashing. Our ndn has rescued dogs but cba to train them (told us!) and just shrugs. Anyway that’s not helpful but I wish some people could be less selfish - and I know there are too many now who just don’t give a toss. Earplugs do work but I find they fall out! I think I’d notify the HA (including the car issue) in case others do too and they might see a pattern of antisocial behaviour emerging. You don’t need to be confrontational but it might make you feel better that you’ve tried something.

Thats not true though is it

Report the modified exhaust anonymously. It is illegal and it may well mean that the car has no MOT or insurance either.

Nothing to do with social housing. Everything to do with this particular neighbour being inconsiderate.

The dog wouldn't annoy me (they do need to wee, and they do bark). The speaker phone would but not much you can do if he's on his own property I suppose.

Dogs barking early in the morning are bloody annoying. My neighbours have two. They chuck them out around 6am and let them bark and yelp for about ten mins. I’ve had to start wearing earplugs as it kept jolting me awake. So I’m with you on that OP.
He does sound noisy, and inconsiderate. People on MN love to criticise the OP as a matter of course. I think it would be worth talking to the housing association in this situation as the car and loud phone calls could easily be rectified.
