New neighbours ....

[DeftandGlory]

We are in a row of 6 terrace houses on a new build estate. Three of us are HA and the other three are private. I’m in the middle with a nice HA neighbour one side and what were a nice owner family on the other.
They moved a couple of weeks ago.
Last week I heard someone next door. Our gardens/houses are 5m across so we are packed in.Clearly on the phone really loudly. One of those over the top voices that finds everything hysterically funny. Kids running up and down the stairs. They had all gone after half an hour so no time to say Hi.
Yesterday van turned up and someone was doing work. Assumed it was builders so didn’t mention the radio on full blast ( can hear it with the doors and windows shut) . Right at the end someone else arrives and it’s clear then the builder is the dad.
This morning a great group of them round the house.Again really noisy lots of cackling about nothing, blokes being loud.

It’s going to be a nightmare isn’t it. Or is it just moving in excitement (hopeful).

You live in a terrace house, so do I, I think you have to expect noise to a certain extent.

But they are moving in, so I think they will be more noisy than other days.

It'll settle down once they are in.

The first few weeks are always noisy.

Hopefully.

Yes been here years so we’ve heard all the shouting as kids grow up, summer parties, barking dogs etc. We just haven’t had anyone who is generally loud day to day.
They’ve not moved in yet . There was a few people talking loudly outside in the garden with lots of whoaring and stuff over the top of the radio.

I’m sure it will be fine. I’m out at work a lot.

Yes it'll quieten down, until the BBQ's start in summer

Sounds echo and carry more in empty rooms, once furniture is in it may well dampen the sound a bit.

We're in a semi detached with a single elderly lady next door. I really worry that when she moves out the next neighbours will sound really loud by comparison so I know what you mean.

I live in a terrace too. If next doors house is empty of furniture etc it will amplify the noise as nothing for it to bounce off. Hopefully when they get their stuff in their voices may not be as loud. You have my sympathy though. We have really decent neighbours and we all rub along OK, would hate for one of them to move

Yeah they sound like they have the potential to be annoying. I have a neighbour who has very loud phone conversations, always blokes that seem to have this need to shout on the phone so their big important voices can be heard. Mines also an actual Disney dad, whenever his kid visits he goes all loud and animated like he's in a pantomime the entire time.
Worse, they're not actually doing anything 'wrong' so you cant even really complain.

I am seriously tired of fucking inconsiderate cunts and their fucking loud music in housing. I really hope yours quiet down.

Noisy people is my pet hate.

Selfish inconsiderate bastards .

Hope it works out ok OP. I'm an unwilling member of my next door neighbours family as our walls are made of crepe paper.

It's a mid terrace. You're hearing people going about their normal lives, during the daytime. What on earth could actually be the issue?

I live in a very similar house. It wouldn't cross my mind to complain about people laughing.

To a degree you have to be chill about neighbour noise. I am terraced and on an average day I hear bongos being played, barking dogs, kids chucking balls over my wall and the swear, shouty bbq every weekend neighbours.

I lived in terraces even in London and there was never noise. Neighbour noise is so common now. All this attention seeking behaviour is so wearing.

I'd let them move in and if it persists complain. I hope it settles down.

Resurrecting again. Neighbours in question have bought some sort of motorbike and a quad bike for the kid Revving them endlessly and ragging then up and down the garden is their new game.
