Playing music in the garden - annoying or not?

[Realitea]

What is the rule on this? Dh says it’s allowed as long as it’s not between 11pm and 7am. I think it can still be reported to the council though can’t it?
And even if it’s allowed, people would still find it annoying wouldn’t they? I’d feel self conscious playing music loud knowing that I’m forcing others to hear it.
Bit of a twist to the story - it’s my dh that’s playing this music. It makes me feel on edge and embarrassed.

No music in gardens from 00-00 until 23-59 and 59 seconds.

Might be legal but it's bloody antisocial.

It depends on the garden.
Ours is very 'bushy' and you genuinely can't hear the music if we have it on low on neighbouring gardens.
If you have a sparse garden that is surrounded by neighbours with only a fence between, then yeah it's probably annoying

Also depends on your neighbours.

I hate it. Next door neighbours teenagers are often out in their garden listening to their shitty music. It's not even super loud but it really grates on my nerves.

Neighbour plays it in his hot tub it's annoying

Anti social and should be against the law!

Get him some earphones!! No one wants to listen to his choice of music!!

Annoying. Very annoying. No different from sitting in a deckchair playing a recorder.

If you think your neighbours can hear, then it’s bloody annoying and definitely NOT ok to be playing it up to 11:00 at night!

Playing music in your garden is only acceptable if it can't be heard beyond your boundary.
So unless your garden is HUGE, the volume should be low. Very low.
If you want to listen to music in your garden, sit close to the speakers, not the far end with the music blasting out of the kitchen window.

I hate it hate it hate it.
If your music leaves your airspace, and can be heard in my garden, you are ruining my quiet enjoyment of where I live, I'm probably going to have to either go out or get very very irritated.
Headphones!
Indoors!

What right do you have to ruin my day?
You could simply listen indoors, or come outside and hear the birds, the wind, the natural world.

My neighbours do this and it drives me nuts. So so so annoying

And the same applies when you're camping.
In what parallel universe do you imagine that I want to hear your choice of music flooding over and into my tent?
Would you like it if i played loud brass band music at you?

Tell your DH not to be such an antisocial git. Of course you shouldn't play music audibly outside. Why should all your neighbours have to put up with your taste in music?

It's always a very contentious issue on here but where I am it seems fairly normal. Most of our neighbours play music/instruments etc when in the garden. None is blaring and no one has said anything to any of them.

Nope- if you want to listen to music in the garden then use head phones- when I sit outside I want to hear the birds sing not someone's choice of music. A one off party is fine but regularly absolutely not!

It's antisocial to inflict noise on people. Listen indoors or with headphones.

Very very selfish

If other people can hear it then don't play it. Why would he think the neighbours want to hear his music?

No amplified music in gardens. So inconsiderate. Or radio, for that matter.
My neighbour and I occasionally play a musical instrument or sing in our gardens, but that's by mutual consent. I know this would be a complete cringe-fest for many though.

We only have two neighbours. Neighbours on one side love it and they also play music which we don’t mind. They’re cheesy 80’s and dh is more ‘yacht rock’ I think it’s called. Other neighbours are further away so it’s probably not as loud for them
It is a big garden, not sparse and it’s being played in the summerhouse at the top. Even so I don’t understand it. I prefer to use headphones - why should others hear it

My neighbour plays radio 2 and turns off at 9.59pm at the latest. Anything else and we'd have words.

I personally think it's really rude, often annoying and probably antisocial. Although I'm not sure it's illegal. I'd never do it. I'd tell my partner not to either. Does he not have headphones?

No.... The odd party, bbq, children party etc yes... Very low level yes.. Booming out evry sat or when get in from work absolutely not.

Bloody annoying and selfish. Why can’t he use headphones?

Very much so.
