I'm probably being a moany old crone, old before her years, but the house down the street is obviously having a party (huge marquee and disco lights in the garden) and the music is LOUD. We don't live that near them but the bass is nearly rattling our windows - we don't have kids but I feel for the others in the village who do, as they won't be going to sleep any time soon.

I know it's only early - and I won't call them but would IBU to call them if it carries on til 11pm? It's only been an hour and I'm fed up already :(

I know that where I am there are no curfews for noise. Perhaps it is the same in your area. I would give it to 1am then head over and perhaps knock on the door. 1am is an ok time for a Saturday night. If they persist then call the police.

I'm quite cross if there's a loud party but it would have to be midnight before I got really cross and they might have turned it off by then. Dont get wound up about something that hasn't even happened yet!

And if its a one off why not just leave 'em to it.

It is quite annoying when people say things like 'my kids can't sleep' Childless people put up with noisy kids in shops/restaurants/the street/hotels etc etc all the time but their not allowed to keep your kids awake one night a year?

I know it's early, but I'm grumpy and DP has abandoned me gone out for the night with the lads. Grr.

Doesn't it just drive you mad when the little lines -- don't work?Grin

I would be unhappy at a loud party at all, but I realise I am a misery guts and would silently seethe if it wasn't a regular occurence. I can put up with noise if it's occasional, it's when it's regular but unpredictable that it really kills.

Could never relax in my childhood home half the time, as you just never knew when full blast shit regaee would keep you up half the night grrrrrr. I have no idea why my parents didn't do/say something.

The police will just tell you to call evironmental health. They don't deal with it themselves.
