Inconsiderate NDNs re noise/light

80 replies

I live in a street where there are mostly families with kids or retired or single people.

NDN's have rented out their house to two women - at a guess in 40s/50s.

They have so far had 2 really loud parties, lots of singing, very loud music and 1 with no notice whatsoever and the other was one meant to end at 5pm but carried on until early hours of next day.

My bedroom is flush to theirs and I could easily move but I like the aspect (garden). I wouldn't mind considering moving bedroom (I have one other double bedroom and a box room) for good or even temporarily but it's the lack of notice I don't like.

I've also been told by neighbours that they've installed a sauna in one room for sex parties?! which I don't care about but they now seem to have loads of friends to come and stay in their 'party house'.

They also have lights - like fairy lights with bigger bulbs but they seem to be right across the garden that looks up into my bedroom. I already have blackout curtains.

Yes I would use earplugs etc had I known about this, yes I could use an eye mask.

My question is - should I put up with this? Previous renters with a 1 year old and 6 year old made hardly any noise and the owners had 3 kids and you barely heard a sound!

I don't see why I should have to move bedroom just because NDNs are inconsiderate. They have told me since re the noise and I think lights to tell them when they're on but I feel like a real party pooper doing this. I don't want to come across as a fun sponge.

So what would you do?

I do understand and have had terrible neighbours and it was hell and we had to move twice as some people really are inconsiderate and I am sensitive to noise/lights also so sorry if I also sounded harsh. Please try to talk to them calmly about the lights and the noise and tell her she sounds really loud. I had neighbours above me pounding across and back like elephants and I lost my temper like a loonie and it did me no good at all.

Get yourself some noise sounding headphones as will help also.

Sorry again as I sounded harsh myself. Try to get them on your side and keep a diary of parties etc and hope things improve.

@DropYourSword

Yeah will move bedrooms in future lucky I have that option!

Don’t worry if you sounded harsh @BOOTS52 I’m just not good with noise etc sometimes…

Hasn’t helped that this weekend my bridge/crown came out on Saturday late pm so I was panicking about driving a long way to the dentist and if they’d resolve that which they did.

That's ok and hope you got yourself sorted re: dentist. Some people just do not care about others and we were brought up to be considerate of others. Hope things improve and I know how horrible it is when there is noise getting louder and louder as the night goes on but just play your music loud the next day if you are up early and I know it is intimidating as don't want to call to them if they are drinking partying, call the noise team as usually good in uk if that is where you are.
