to think that loud music on a sunday eve is taking the piss after 10.30 at night

[cuteboots]

Just moved into a new house. The neighbours seemed ok but they have 2 teenage daughters. One seems very quiet but the other plays her music really loud and last night at about 9.30 -10 up it went. I dont want to turn into the complaining neighbour but my son goes to bed at 8 and it was bloody loud. advice please

how long did the music go on for?

Knock on the door and ask them to turn it down?

YANBU but it does depend on your area really, as to whether you can do anything about it!

In my area, you can be noisy from 7am until 11pm, so environmental health will only step in if the noise is happening after 11pm.

I know it's easier said than done, but it would help if you popped round and asked them to turn it down as you have a child trying to sleep!

Did it wake your son? I only ask as once my DS is asleep loud music in our house doesn't wake him. If it goes on past 11pm then I think you should speak to neighbours but I wouldn't necessarily complain unless it actually is waking your son up and it goes on beyond 11pm (I vaguely recall that is the time beyond which it is considered noise pollution but could be wrong.)

We have this problem and, after several years months we spoke to the neighbours who were used to the noise, but appreciated it might be a bit much for us. It's now lovely and quiet after 10pm :)

Im going to see how it goes as it seems to be when the mum is at work and I was a teenager once so I dont want to turn into the moaning person whos moved in next door.

any noise that is a constant problem can be addressed by someone somewhere.
start to make a diary, ask them to turn it down nicely explain etc....and contact council as well.

I wouldnt be contacting the council at this stage.No point in escalating it.........yet. See if this is a regular thing and speak to the mum first.I would only contact the council if they refuse or get bolshie about it.No point in starting neighbour wars if it can be sorted amicably.

I think 10.30 is a reasonable time to be bawling music which only a minority get
