It's sunny, therefore the neighbour has dusted off their stereo.

I've posted before. Just want a little rant.

Now the weather is nice my horrible next door neighbours have Heart FM on from 8am until they go to bed. Full blast and with the back door wide open.

They have some scummy friends round who enjoy shouting, while their children get in their 10 hours of screaming a day.

Any requests for quiet are met with laughter or "they're just kids".

I wish I could move / sit quietly in my garden.

Im going against the grain here a smidge .. I absolutely detest loud music in gardens. Especially in built up areas.

However. Children have as much right to enjoy their garden too. This last year has left them with pretty much only the garden so if theyre out on tacky trampolines or splashing in pools or just playing cant you cut them slack??

My older ones are 11, 10 and 6 and in the last 12 months they've lost twice a week skiing training, ice hockey, swimming lessons and for fun and weekly meet ups to play footy with mates at the school playground.

All the stress and unused energy has gotta go somewhere.

But the thread is about loud music being played in gardens, not the noise of kids playing 🙄. Or did you mean to post on the screechy kids thread?

My neighbours kids aren't just shrieking in delight at playing in the garden. They're screaming bloody murder from early in the morning until late at night, kicking my wall to hard that pictures fall off, breaking our fence, kicking the living shit out of baby gates that are attached to my wall. And this is the tip of the iceberg.

I would LOVE to hear the merry laughter of children playing nicely in the garden.

For today's drink and read in the garden I have headphones in blasting my music and it's bloody brilliant. Still not fair, but I'm having a lovely time.

Have you considered trying to counter with some noise of your own? Classic FM on full-blast, from 7am? Let them know what it’s like?

I've just had to shout (several times to be heard over the music). No apology but a "yeah". The apartment is 20 feet away from my heavily insulated and sound proofed apartment so the noise must be deafening inside.

I'm working from home in the middle of a global pandemic and I do not want to hear anyone else's music.

If it happens again, I will go postal. These people know they are loud and rely on us putting up with it. Not no more ...

I hate how some people will just take advantage.

DH just noticed our horrid neighbours to the east have put a for sale board up. Come and live next to me! I’m nice, and I bake x

Yes I think that's what's most inconsiderate at the moment. Not just no consideration for those who have to leave for work in the morning but many peoples homes right now is their work place also.
