Neighbour singing constantly advice?

How would you deal with this issue. My neighbour has been singing at 9am, for four hours until 2pm and usually 5.45 to 8pm weekday. But really it can be right until 12pm. Today was 9am to 1pm. then random outbursts until 6pm. Sometimes the shouting is at 4am, which has been done to upset my family.
This neighbour wakes my family up every weekend at 7am, without fail screaming and shouting like this. This usually lasts until 1pm.
The singing and shouting can occur at any hour of the day. I have also heard the neighbour shouting and repeating my conversations with my husband, which is totally inappropriate. Sometimes its full blown screaming, laughing and singing combined, which is insane. Recently the neighbour has been randomly screaming out of nowhere at 10pm to frighten my family?
The singing is atrocious. Me and husband have already approached our neighbour about this issue, but this is continuing to disrupt our life. This has been going on for a year at this point. There is not a day or week that goes by that this neighbour is not doing this, How would you move forward with this issue.

How is the neighbour able to hear and therefore repeat conversations you have had with your DH? Are your family quite loud and neighbour is responding in kind?

It sounds awful and honestly I think I'd be making plans to move.

How do you know it’s being done to upset/frighten your family? And as PP said, how can they hear you well enough to repeat back your conversations?

This is one of the craziest things I've ever read. How can this neighbour hear your conversations?

Contact your local council. It is noise pollution.

You need to enquire about a noise abatement order.

If her singing is annoying you, perhaps you shouted conversations with hubby is annoyed her. Have you somehow entered into a tit for tat feud without knowing it? I’m guessing your walls are very thin!

You need to speak to your council Environmental health team about the noise. They'll send out sheets for you to fill in with a noise diary & have a word with your neighbour to begin with. Then it will move on to installing DAT machine to record the noise & if the neighbour doesn't stop they'll take it to court & they'll be put on a noise abatement order or possibly kicked out

I'd also consider contacting adult social services as your neighbour sounds mentally unwell & maybe speak to the police on 101 for advice about the mimicking your conversations loudly. Unless your property has paper walls that implies they are listening in, glass to wall or whatever

When I first started to read your post i thought you must live the other side of my neighbour! Except the mad screaming/singing starts at 8pm often ending at 8am the next morning. We hit a new low last summer when the loud music/screaming/shouting abuse began to include fleshy slapping noises...and he started masturbating in the morning and made sure everyone could hear it. Envy

I only hear him in the summer because then he keeps all his windows wide open. Your post has reminded me I must get on to the Environmental Health. His shenanigans really are a bit of a fly in the ointment of summer.

Neighbour sounds very mentally unwell.. might need to contact adult social care?
