regarding my new neighbours music.

[codered]

i have a new neighbour, shes nice if over keen to be friends. her children are the same age as mine and id like to keep things on an even keel
however
her music is so loud. so loud i can sing along to the lyrics when im in my living room..
which is 4 walls and 2 doors away from her stereo.

its not everyday but pretty frequent. when she moved ini cut her slack thinking she might not realise how the sound travels but following a 4am party sat and blaringmusic this afternoon ( cam hear it from the pavement when i went to my car) im fucked off.

aibu to be cross?
and
would i be an utter cow to text her and asl her to turn it down?

Chaz ive pmd you.

There is such a thing as unreasonable daytime noise - my eh officer told me that the 11pm thing is a bit of a red herring - really the tolerance level decreases at abiut 7pm and then 11pm - so one noise at 6pm might be too loud at 11pm - but that doesn't mean that you can make any noise you like.

If you are in friendly terms the first thing is to talk to her - face to face is best - things can come across v differently in a text and are then read again and again building in to an argument anyway - and it would be worse to get a letter from the council - she will immediately be cross you didn't just come round and say.

During the day noise of a certain level is expected such as day to day living noise - but blaring music would probably be considered a statory nuisance - especially if v frequent.

And remember when you approach her try not to let your pent up rage surface - remember you've had it building up for ages and she may not realise - give her the chance to sort it out - which eh would ask you to do in the first instance anyway - keep a diary of noise to show frequency and explain each time how it affects you.i think this is part what statutory nuisance is about - how the noise impacts on your peaceful enjoyment of your property - which is why it's hard to give exact levels of acceptability as it is subjective to each case and the individuals involved. This is balanced against what you can reasonably expect in terms if making the noise and being affected by the noise - as each case is different based on the type of location etc eg noise near an airport compared to quiet suburb and town centres tthere are certain environmental factors impacting how my ch noise you expect to hear - eg living noise of a terrace house compared to a detached property.

Agree with the face to face chat instead of a text. You could just bemoan the "rubbish" walls and ask her if she could please turn it down a little bit. She will probably be mortified to have disturbed you (I would be!) and as she is so keen to be a friend I'm sure she will understand. You could even invite her in to yours when her music is on to show her what it's like.
