Noisy neighbours

[itsrainin]

Can anyone provide advice please?

I live in an apartment and privately rent. There are 2 other apartments next to mine. One of my neighbours are a family of 2 adults and up to 4 children.

The adults have loud, aggressive arguments at all hours, that last for hours. This is together with clattering and banging noises in the background that once concerned me enough to contact police. Though I don’t think the police attended, as I likely would have heard or needed to buzz them in.

One of the children randomly loudly grunts/screams/shouts, almost in a pattern? Eg yesterday there were high pitched shrieking noises for 30 minutes straight. In response the adults tend to shout back, there’s always banging noises too. The adults also argue with the children.

it’s such a loud household that I can clearly hear within my apartment so I raised a noise complaint with the council, who rejected it as it’s just household noise apparently. Where do I go from here?

Calling a kid an 'unhinged loser?' No sympathy from me.

The man is loudly shouting and shrieking and the child is screaming too.

Call the police. Emphasise its happening right now and a child is involved. Good luck, and you have my every sympathy. Noisy neighbours are the worst.

I know it's easy to just say "move" but I would start to look into it. Thank your lucky stars that you rent. I appreciate the rental market is not easy at the moment but I would put my energy into looking for a new place to live, rather than trying to get people like this to quieten down. I don't think they can....
I've been where you are. It's horrific and really takes its toll on you as you no longer feel at home when you are at home. You start to be on 'alert' for noise all the time. I would sooner take the financial hit and move than put up with it. It's not worth what it does to your mental and physical health in the long term. You have all my sympathies. In the meantime buy some noise cancelling headphones.
