What's a reasonable time for an outdoor party to wrap up?

[Preps]

A house a few doors down at the back have been laying music through what sounds like a professional PA system since about 3pm. I'm indoors with all the windows closed and it sounds like I'm in a festival field with them. They're not even next door!

It doesn't happen often and one of those things when you live close to others in the summer.

But I did think they'd have shut it off by midnight....

Yes, I think around midnight or shortly afterwards would be around the time I'd start to lose patience with them and expect that at least the music would get turned down to a reasonable background level.

I'd say around midnight.

If its a one off I'd turn a blind eye but if it becomes a regular thing I'd either have a word or call environmental health noise pollution is a thing

Agree
Midnight is as late as it should get

Sound should go down about 11pm

Think it's getting worse. Earlier on it was "family partty" music, all the popular hits from my youth 😆 Now it's all bass, I can feel it in my chest.

As a one off maybe about 1

If it's a rare one off, then probably 1am/2am.

You really think it's OK to keep the entire neighbourhood awake until 2am, even as a one off?

Poos DS has to be at work at 6am

I just picked up DS from an 18th, it was booming down the street but they shut it off bang on 12, I think that's fairly reasonable as a special occasion.

It's not really great if they keep everyone up but I'd still turn a deaf ear if it's a very occasional thing, for the sake of neighbourly harmony.

I’d say midnight.

our neighbours over the back had music blaring and loud voices until 3 am one morning, i was ready for complaint until I found out that it had been his mums funeral so I excused it and put it to a one off, which it was.

midnight is late enough.

A few times a years, people round here have them but they're always over by 2/3am

Midnight

Though this is MN so probably in MNLand about 7pm 😂

I think 11.30ish for loud music to be turned down. If anyone in our neighbourhood is having a big do, we tend to put a notes through nearby doors giving apologies in advance and saying a time when the music will stop.

I’m sure your DS will cope getting up for work after hearing loud music!

My next door neighbour's party is still going strong and I'm getting quite frustrated.
It's an occasional occurrence but this is the longest and loudest that it's ever been.
They've got a great playlist but I'd rather sleep.

Yes I'm sure the patients at the hospital will love that fact that he had 4 hours sleep before his shift.

Unfortunately we can't all live in the countryside and we just have to get on with our neighbours. 4 hrs sleep is still an OK amount. When I did nightshifts, 4 hrs sleep during the day was great lol 😆 hope your son is fine x

Midnight.
