Just wanted to rant really because realistically I don't think there's anything I can do apart from move house.
NDN has two teens.
One of them has her bedroom next to mine (terraced house) and spends every night chatting on her phone into the early hours. Her laugh is really loud and annoying and it carries through the whole house at night.
If I put the radio or soft music on to try and block the sound out while I try to sleep she bangs on the bloody wall. Every night this week I've nodded off to sleep around 11, only to be woken up by her constant screeching laugh at around 12.30/1am. I have to get up early for work and I'm knackered and miserable.
Several times I've tried asking them politely to keep the noise down after 11 - when I do, it stops for a while, only for her to start up again a few days later. I get that it's hard for teenagers, but this is next level selfish isn't it? I have my adult children living at home during lockdown and they like to chat on FaceTime with their mates so it's not like we're living like reclusive monks - normal family noise is fine - but they know to stop after 11 at night.
I'm tired and grumpy and it's making me so miserable that I am starting to feel actual hatred for these people. We've lived here nearly 20 years and had three lots of neighbours before this lot who've all been lovely and considerate. I miss them.
(We can't afford a detached house before anyone helpfully pipes up with that idea.)
Any miracle solutions? Are there any amazingly comfortable earbuds which I can sleep in (side sleeper) and which will block out noise while I listen to lovely soothing sounds? I just want to sleep.
