To find our neighbours outdoor speakers really intrusive?

Our neighbours has extensive work done on their house a few years ago and in the process installed an outdoor speaker system.

During the summer the system was being used every week - usually on a Sunday but often the Saturday as well - when the family were spending time outside. They have a long garden so the music is on pretty loudly for the sound to carry to the end of the lawn.

Its a lovely day where we are today and they have just turned their music on while the husband gets on with jobs in the garden and it's actually giving me the rage!

We do not share a similar taste in music (which is beside the point anyway) and its really blasting into our kitchen/ living area as the speaker is set up on the wall just outside our back door.

I don't feel I can say anything as it's their space and they can do what they want in it. Also it's not as if they use it late in to the evening and keeping us up all night. I'm just so sick of listening to his crappy, morose, droney music powering into the back of our house. Hearing it today has reminded me of what we have to put up with every weekend in the summer and it just drives me crazy.

They are a lovely couple and really good neighbours in every other way so really not worth getting into a row about this, but bloody hell my heart sinks when I hear the speakers come on.

Rant over - feel better already Smile

StoneofDestiny -
I so wish people understood this. He probably will now but there is resentment -like how dare I interfere with his enjoyment. I knew going into this that even though they are nice people -anyone who would put underground speakers in a dense urban suburban area is out of their mind! So trying to rationalize with someone like this -they automatically think the person is a jerk who complains. So now I feel uncomfortable once again in my neighborhood that I am this flawed person who can't just get on with music blaring for over six hours a day. Help me!!! :)
