How much screaming can you here from your garden

[Monvelo]

The sun's out. Understandably that means doors and windows are open and people are in their gardens. Unfortunately around here that seems to mean screaming. Yesterday it was a mum and son who are 'known' in the area, screaming at each other, calling each other names and swearing. Today it's been mainly a young girl screaming on and off all day, I don't mean crying I mean rage type temper screaming, like in a tantrum, but it's been happening intermittently all day long. It has driven me to Rightmove today. Is this normal where you are? Can you hear screaming from other houses in your garden?

Can't correct spelling mistake in title which will now irritate me forever.

Zero- I live in the countryside -
neighbours gardens around 200m away- big 1 acre + gardens (theirs not mine) and I live near the road so they tend to play down the back side of their gardens (I imagine as I have zero idea due to the lack of noise)

can hear the a road I live on though - but the traffic noise disappears though as it’s constant during the day

I hate screaming kids and think it’s incredibly selfish to subject people to them. There is no need, unless SN and in this case I find the parents far more considerate than NT parents

Only one small child in our tiny village - belongs to my next door neighbour. She will laugh and sometimes sing but I've never heard her doing that shrieking-scream. On the other hand I was out walking the other day and walked past a farm where the kids were out playing and it was a good job it was rural and isolated because it sounded as though murder was being perpetrated.

Music, chatter, kids, helicopters - I'm in London and I love it. I hate silence, it makes me uneasy.

You must live near me. I have a neighbour who can’t do anything at a normal noise level. She’s always yelling. At Alexa, her kids, on the phone (all phone calls must be done in the garden with lots of shrieking). She even sits on the drive in her car having conversations with people on loudspeaker, while it’s running. It’s absolute bliss when she’s not at home.

Well next door seem to have decided that the way to solve their 8month old from annoying them is to leave him in the garden crying, so quite a bloody lot

I can hear distant traffic and some lawn mowers, but no screaming.

That said, I am one of the younger residents in our street and I am 64.

Nothing if I use my hand and duct tape... joking of course.

None but it's always very quiet here thank God

The screaming and shouting will start about 9pm when the beer kicks in, neighbour over the road have visitors the bbq is on, it never ends well , this is people in their 40s so not young.

Mine have out house up for sale csnt bloody wait. Never known someone to spend over 8hrs in their kitchen!

The shout talking is the pits. I've heard all their conversations over the years including the ones where they bitch about me..😆

I live in suburban London and have neighbours on both sides who are blessedly quiet. I am so grateful.

None. But I’m in a hamlet of 4 houses, the only kids are ours, and they’re not screamy. It’s idyllic.

We have a block of flats nearby they used to sit outside in the evenings and scream and shout at each other and the screechy laugh what's that about, anyway last summer there was a fall out so we haven't heard anything from them for ages.

I'll never move from my house until they bring me out feet first as long as this blessed quiet prevails.

No screaming here. But we do have a party going on a few houses away with loud music. Normally it’s very quiet.

I'd say 20% have school aged kids on our whole estate. My nearest neighbours are older in all directions, nearly or already retired, many of them have been here over 30yrs, houses rarely come up for sale, that was a big draw for us. The loudest noise is mainly the lawnmowers.

Lots. Young DC either side who seem to spend all the time screaming

One side I think SN involved and the other parents who come home late and probably want to spend time with DC but they are overtired and need to go to bed

I can sympathise with both but god it's grating

My current house is as quiet as the grave becsuse I'm surrounded by retired people with no children. My last house was a nightmare. Four kids next door who screamed non stop all day and night. Parents would sit on the patio smoking and getting pissed.

Loads! Mostly from teens at the local high school, who use the streets around us to cut through, and hang out on a nearby path before catching their bus. It’s the worst. They’ll be shouting and screaming like they’ve been stabbed.

I don't get that much screaming that I can hear in my garden, it's the bloody awful tuneless whistling one of my neighbours does. There is no tune, just odd notes and it goes on forever ...

I can't even sit outside and read my book because once I hear it, that's it, I am so aware of it. I can hear it all over the house as well as all the windows are open. He's never done it before so not sure why he's started this year. Bastard!

The BBQ music is up and there is raised voices but there is laughter hopefully nobody falls out.

None today. Annoying grown up daughter next door often has swearing arguments with her mum and stepdad. The husband is a twat who swears in the garden.

Our road gets used by kids walking to and from school, one kid bounces a ball there and back. You'll get the odd squeal from the younger kids.

I love the sound of kids playing and chatting. Even throwing a mini tantrum makes me go "ahhh".

Adults who swear loudly really annoy me though, as do those who jet wash their car all the time, or rev their motorbike or cars. So basically just the next door twats.

All. Day. Long. They got home from school at 3, were outside instantly and the screaming began. It'll be from 7am to 9pm all weekend. The adults actively encourage it, chasing the kid around to make her squeal.

Then there's a child who wails miserably all the time, until after my bedtime, and you can tell the parents cba to deal with it.

And we're on a school walk route so at those times of day there are both adults and children screaming at each other to wait/stop/hurry up/be nice to your sister etc.

I detest whistling. I'd be done for rage fuelled murder.
