What time in the morning would you talk loudly in the street and shout after your dog etc?

[judgejudyrocks]

I am very considerate when I walk the dogs early. Many others are chatting and shouting loudly after their dogs, at a time that I feel is far too early, given that we are in a built up area. Without me saying what time I think is acceptable, I was wondering what others thought!

Sorry, that should have said, what time would you think it was acceptable to talk loudly and shout after children and dogs?

I'd say 8 for my own noise but I'm accepting of noise from 7 (although maybe not at the time if the baby is having a rare lie in!).

I think before 8am is pretty anti social, but not uncommon around here. We live in a quiet residential area, but people seem to think nothing of walking around talking loudly to each other or on their phones. Baffles me.

Fortunately I'm an early riser so it doesn't wake me, but I still think it's thoughtless.

The ones at night tend to keep me awake, then I 'go past' my sleep window & I'm awake for hours.

Normal daytime noise is reasonable on a week day from 8ish. If it was earlier and someone called their dog at 7am then I can't say I'd be bothered. If it's 7am and they're chatting away at the top of their voices, then that would be rude in my opinion.

Is it that someone calling their dogs is being particularly loud, or that in a quiet street the act of calling a dog stands out more because there's nothing going on?

According to mn anything spoken at a whisper is shouting and before 9am when the traffic noise starts.

On a week day I think 7.30 as thats when traffic starts to build anyway.

My neighbour was out washing his car and banging around through his side gate at 7am on a bank holiday.. we less than politely asked him to go back inside and be more considerate of his neighbours.
Anything before 8 is rude I think

I wouldn't do this no matter what time of day it is.

I would say 7am, but I also appreciate that people need to make noise to live their lives so I wouldn't get annoyed unless it was obviously inconsiderate. I used to live by a shop which opened its very noisy metal shutter at 6am. That was annoying but I don't blame them.

I wouldn't make unecessary noise anywhere at any time myself, but I think after 8am is reasonable for others to do it. That"s when builders etc are allowed to start work in a residential area.

Although a one off calling their dog or normal conversation that happens to be outside an open window I'd think is fine from 7am

I hear morning noises at 7:30/8 on a weekday which is fair imo.

This is interesting, thanks! We live in an area where people walk past our house on a recognised walk (if that makes sense!), and people think nothing of walking past the house chatting loudly and laughing at the top of their lungs at 7.30am. I am always up by then for work, but DH works shifts and is frequently woken up by this, when he really ought to be sleeping. It just seems rude to me. I take the dogs out early, but I don't make a peep, as I'm aware that some people might still be in bed at that time. I wouldn't dream of doing that before 9am, I think. Sometimes parents come here with their toddlers on the weekend (there's a big green), and think it's fine to run about with screaming kids at 8am. I think it's rude and inconsiderate!

Any time you're awake and out of the house with someone I'd say it's fine to chat? The walls of a house would have to be very thin for it to wake anyone up, surely? And if a dog is running off you'll have to shout it back.
I live in a city near a flight path though so perhaps I'm inured to noise.

We have a couple that often stop right outside our house for a loud chat at around 5.30am! It's deathly quiet as it's just a residential road, I can't believe they don't feel self conscious with their booming voices. I'm quiet as a mouse before say 7ish, would be a bit more chatty but still quiet between 7 and 8, after about 8ish it's pretty lively round here with cars and kids going to school / dog walks so I'd prob go for normal volume from about then

I’m an early to bed early to rise so I have no issue with early noise but I appreciate that others might so I would definitely be as quiet as possible pre 8am. I’m out of the house before 6 and I open and close house and car doors as quietly as possible. I can’t do much about the car engine but I don’t leave it idling or anything.

I sometimes fantasise about driving to work with loud music and my windows down when I can’t get to sleep because of people being noisy outside at 10-11pm though. Late night noise is a lot more common than early morning noise where I am.

To be honest I think we generally need to be mindful that in a residential area people could be sleeping at anytime so why make unnecessary noise like beeping car horns, shouting across the road etc...? That makes me sound like a miserable old sod though!

I'd agree with 8am, certainly on weekdays. Though when it comes to noise (sounding of reversing horns) I understand the law says 7am.
