There is a very high level of noise as a standard situation from next door. Terraced houses, poor noise insulation etc, do not help.
3 girls who fight from the minute they get up till they go to bed.
aged 13, 11 and 6.
I mean screaming. Kicking doors. Kicking one another off the toilet. Storming in and out of rooms, up and down stairs. IN the car, which is parked on the drive close to the door and beeping the horn relentlessly. In the morning the youngest creates absolute holy hell getting ready for school. Can I add there are no SEN or autistic issues or school refusal, it is a very very loud and chaotic house.
In the past I have knocked and explained that kicking off at 7am on a Sunday is inconsiderate. THings calm down, but its not long before they start again.
This morning, same. I knocked on the door, no one answered so I get the impression they realise they are being intrusive. So, do I just keep knocking and hope they get the hint? I am really not looking forward to it. THe mum seems utterly overwhelmed and I feel sorry but, its getting me down. Is there an answer?

Ear-defenders.

Turn your speakers to the wall and play music they will hate and you will love and dance about your house at will. Let the little beggars know how horrible it is to have to listen to intrusive noise.
That or the ear defenders.

I am learning the ukelele. What if I get an electric one and amps? I think the speaker is a good idea and i k ow for a fact they wont appreciate my taste in country and western. Bring it on Dolly
