Noisy Neighbours

[Debeez]

Seems to be party time over the road. I went out into the garden last night about 12:30 to let the dog have one last wee and just to enjoy a few minutes of quiet on a nice summers evening. Opened the door and it was like a disco, with shouting and swearing. Type of bumf, bumf, bumf bass that hits you in the chest IYSWIM? Was still going when I went to bed at 1am I'm Hyacinth Bucket and checked

We have uber double glazing that means I didn't hear a thing until I opened the door. So, technically they're not bothering me. And if EH came round to measure it it would be obviously you cannot hear a thing in the house.

WABU to call 101 anyway when I hear it from my garden? Thinking of the other neighbours. Or do I keep my nose out? I'm leaning towards calling but it feels very petty.

If they're technically not bothering you why make the call?

Go to bed, shut your uberly double glazed windows and go to sleep.

They're not bothering you so I wouldn't.
I'm sure some other person who dosen't have double glazing probably called already.

Where did you get your windows? I'd love ones that shut out all noise!

If they didn't bother you, I would leave phoning. If they are bothering the other neighbours they can phone the police and you don't have to be involved.

Did you complain?

Is it a one of? Wasn't actually bothering you? Why bother.

Personally I'm only bothered by loud parties if it's an adjoining neighbour as you get all the bassy thump.

Otherwise I quite like hearing parties going on as I drift off to sleep.

They were here when I moved in SofaKing I had a peep for you but there's no label or sticker on. Sorry. I'll look on tenancy agreement and see if there's any mention there for you though. I do luff them having previously lived in a very loud area and had crap windows.

Kinda brings me to why I feel I should call. I used to live in an awful area with no sound insulation and life was a bloody misery. I don't want to be involved, this isn't an area where you act too friendly towards the local plod. But I feel for my neighbours, many of which have small children and just leaving them to it. Always thought the more complaints the quicker something would be done.

You are allowed to have the windows open so not a problem if EH come over o check.

How can you sleep with the windows closed in this heat?

Surely if it bothers the neighbours then they'll ring Environmental Health? Or are you The Neighbourhood Watch Sheriff?

"How can you sleep with the windows closed in this heat?"

I'm in Scotland. What heat?

I get that Mushroom, when it was me being bothered I rang and rang. Took ages before anyone did anything as everyone else was too scared to ring. Every night till 2am up with my DS

I'm going with the MN Jury and I'm not going to call. Plus everyone loves Rave, right?

My neighbours do this every time the sun appears, complain, or it gets worse. I gave the benefit of the doubt and having the most miserable summer yet, 12pm-3-4am is just noise.

If it doesn't effect you, then I wouldn't bother.

Saying that, my dickhead neighbour chooses to start singing classical music at 2.30am waking my young baby up, so 101 is my favourite number right now.

If it's a one off and it's not actully disturbing you, you close the door, go to bed, and don't give it another thought.
If someone is botherd by it, they can complain.

I had horrible neighbours and yes their noise in the backgarden affected me the most but perhaps the police would have done more about the 10 teenage drunk boys jumping on a trampoline right under my DDs window if more of the neighbours had complained rather than thinking "oh we'll it's not really affecting me"
