We have had numerous run ins over the years. De - escalated when he was working from home & we just ignored each other. Now he's back in the office & he's putting his Google home (locked) up against our wall.. Its bloody loud but I can cancel it out with my own alexa.. Please tell me its costing him a fortune!

Can’t comment on the price but make sure you do the same when he gets home from work.

Loud blasting annoying music on repeat, and then go out.

I suggest baby shark

Feelingthepinch22 · 04/03/2022 13:15

Was thinking that but I don't want to waste my leccie on him... Thinking more washing machine on at midnight to save energy 😅

I suggest you play something really loud like bagpipe music, or get a small child to practise a musical instrument...badly.

See if you can turn his wifi off from outside Grin

KoalafiedAwesome · 04/03/2022 13:21

Have any pictures to hang, 4am is a great time to do this...

ThatsALotOfPassionfruit · 04/03/2022 13:23

Have you tried shouting ‘ok google, stop!’ Through the wall?!

Feelingthepinch22 · 04/03/2022 13:24

So bloody disheartening as I thought he was over this shit... Obviously didn't want retaliation while he was working from home!

Contact the Council for the noise nuisance?

RedWingBoots · 04/03/2022 13:28

They aren't expensive to run.

Best bet is if you have a small child is to get them to be noisy next to his wall in the early morning as children playing isn't noise pollution and (unfortunately) some children get up early.

Feelingthepinch22 · 04/03/2022 13:31

I'm logging everything... Of they're not expensive I'll just put on my alexa to drown it out... Sad fucker apparently he's gutted about going back into the office when some of us got approved for permanent work from home 😁

What an arsehole. Have you got a tennis ball? Throw it constantly against the wall in the style of 'Cool Hand Luke', try and alter the rythym throw to make it doubly annoying.

Feelingthepinch22 · 04/03/2022 13:36

To be honest I think hes looking for a fight & a retaliation... He's a sad petty fucker & his wife is worse.. They think the whole world is out to get them...

What’s he playing? You could pretend to be very grateful? Might irritate more.

BarrowInFurnessRailwayStation · 04/03/2022 13:39

Play 'Boots' by Rudyard Kipling very loudly all through the night.

The US special forces use it as a form of torture when training their troops.

KoalafiedAwesome · 04/03/2022 13:40

Maybe take a bunch of flowers around as a thank you ...

Gardeningcreature · 04/03/2022 13:42

When he gets home start singing the songs he’s been playing very loudly as if you really enjoy listening to them, might make him stop if he thinks you are enjoying it.

LemonadeSunshine · 04/03/2022 13:47

My council asks us to use 'The Noise App', you record using the app and can submit directly to the council, check if yours is using it.

Indigoo03 · 04/03/2022 14:19

Can you turn the power off somehow and then flick it back on to switch it off? I live in a block of flats and everyones meter and on/off switches are in the hall. Main fuses etc are inside the flat. Had some noisy neighbours above us once and i flicked it on/off that every so often when it got too much hoping they would think their equipment was causing it...

youdoyoutoday · 04/03/2022 14:31

Start sending him glitter bombs!!

I'd go crazy in your position!! Where is his wife whilst this is going on, is she at work too?

Feelingthepinch22 · 04/03/2022 14:36

Wife's at work too... No way of reaching their power without going around the side of their house. I'd be caught trespassing on camera 😩

What’s that smell? OP is it possible there is a gas leak next door?

MimiSunshine · 04/03/2022 15:02

😇

RestingPandaFace · 04/03/2022 15:05

You need to find out it’s wake word and then bellow it through the wall to switch it off.

If it works you could also switch it back on at 3am when they are both asleep!
