Neighbours music

[pinenuts75]

Is it ok for my neighbours to be playing music at this time of night on a Sunday? I’m trying to relax in bed and it’s all I can hear, I’ve told them before to turn it down, I’ve just filled out the form online to report noise nuisance, does anyone know how long it takes to hear anything back? I’ve put earplugs in but can still hear it.

I think 11 pm to 7am are the 'quiet' times. Maybe you should have appealed to their better nature by nicely asking rather than 'telling them' ehich is bound to get their back up?

Where does it say I didn’t ask them nicely?

You said you ‘told’ them OP. And your next move is to fill out a council complaint form. I’d make the same assumptions as the previous poster, that you aren’t exactly going down the route of friendly communication with your neighbour.

“I’ve told them before”
Thats not asking.

I went round told them their music is to loud could they turn it down please what is wrong with saying that? And yes I filled out a council form what is wrong with that? That’s what it’s for isn’t it?

I guess all you replying like playing loud music too and annoying your neighbours 🙄

Nothing wrong with asking nicely like that at all but that’s NOT WHAT YOU SAID YOU DID.
perhaps if you’d said that first of all, responses might’ve been different.

I quote from your OP :
"I’ve told them before to turn it down"
Telling is not 'asking nicely' is it?

It’s not asking in a nasty way either, so from what I can gather me telling/asking whatever.. my neighbours to turn their music down without shouting or swearing should I add, somehow I end up being in the wrong, really I should have known better than to ask advice on here, will know for next time.

As usual, people are taking the post off track and not answering your question. I think 10pm on a Sunday night is too late to be playing loud music. Its selfish and inconsiderat and therefore they are unlikely to respond to any requests to turn it down, so you do right to put in the noise complaint. Good luck OP.

Thank you yes I think it’s selfish too, especially when I’ve already asked/told them to turn it down in a nice way of course! I should add.

It depends on the music. If it's something good then I think it's ok.

If you know their number send then a nice text asking would they mind turning the music down as you're in bed. Please don't tell them to

What time did you ask? If before 10pm (you were posting at 10.07) yabu. Officially here quiet hours are 11-7 so the council won’t act unless it’s really loud as in professional dj equipment loud

its loud bass coming through my wall but yes I’m being unreasonable 🙄 I would never do this, I must be in the small minority of non selfish people.

Don't be so stupid.

Everyone is fixated on whether I asked them or told them, it’s really not relevant, what is relevant is that they are so selfish and have no respect, I have to get up early for work, the bass is vibrating through the wall, but as long as I don’t tell them 🙄

It is relevant. If someone asked me nicely I would actually immediately. If they told me ... The music would probably get a little more loud. Neighbourliness goes both ways

The level of stupidness on this post is outrageous, wish I hadn’t posted now.

No one respects Sundays anymore. Yesterday we had noisy power tools all day long until it got dark. Then another hour or two of bedtime screaming. Thank god I work from home else I’d be seriously depressed.

yep I think it is selfish. I have found that the more you complain the more people seem to do the things you hate. The council are useless I have made noise complaints in the past they are generally not interested and then say you have to declare it when selling your house. If it happens often give them some music while they try and sleep in the morning! Then they might realise how loud they are.

If it’s constant, all hours everyday then yes its unreasonable, if it’s only been once before and then today I would probably be pissed off on a Sunday but I wouldn’t care much as its not often.

If they only do it occasionally the council won’t do a thing

@pinenuts75 I wanted to say that YANBU and people who impose themselves on others like this are inconsiderate arseholes. I feel for you.

Wait until they go to bed, then move your speakers against the adjoining wall, and put The Ride Of The Valkyries on repeat at full volume. Put earplugs in and go to bed.
