to play my music in my back garden?

[HighwayDragon]

It's warm here, I'm sat outside basking in the sun, listening to 90s classics. I've just heard my neighbour complain loudly about the "bloody noise" to her dh. It's not loud at all. So aibu to ignore them and carry on listening to Shania twain, backstreet boys, bwitched etcetc?

Shania Twain - that wouldn't impress me greatly.

I'm sorry, i do realise that joke's probably already been done but im on a shit phone and can't rtft.

I'll refrain from saying what I think about your responses cactus
I'm off to light the barbie - or and our neighbours will probably join us

I'll have to inform my 81 year old dad of his new chav status. He loves a bit of classical in the garden

If I have my stereo on and my window open my neighbour might hear my music if she is in the garden. My living room window is right near her back garden.

I do it very rarely but perhaps some would say I am selfish.

I hear my neighbour's music at times in the same conditions. Never crossed my mind to care because I can hear someone's music. Of course having it blaring out is different.

I live in a semi-detached. Neighbour noise will always happen, but at the same time I have a right to live, and music being played on half volume on a tablet is very low level noise.

YABU

I hate music. Hate it all. Not sure why I've had the music by pass gene, but there you have it.

Any music is intrusive to me so I'd rather you didn't.

Only one of my neighbours does the kids out before 7.30 and music in the garden thing. She is self absorbed and not well liked. Go figure.

MN never ceases to amaze me!
Woman plays a bit of music quietly in her own back garden in the middle of the afternoon and people are ripping her a new one!?
You're all mad!
YANBU OP, enjoy the sun

YABU OP and your taste in music is truly awful

Oh sod off. Jesus the snobbery in that sentence.

There's no snobbery there - its an actual fact that Shania Twain is shite. In fact, if you look up the word shite in the dictionary you'll see Shania Twain in the definition.

There has been a lot of snobbery floating around MN this Easter.

Some posters are just out to be nasty, is it a full moon?

Bowlersarm - me too

wear headphones to avoid pissing off other people

What BlueBananas said.

I only do it when our neighbours are away.

And even then its lovely ambient music rather than pop or dance blaring. It's a bit less jarring and if anyone were to overhear it by mistake It's quite relaxing at least.

That said in my last house with shitty neighbours I'd have the music blaring to cover up their swearing.

LOL sir, I have a 'best of 90s' play list Shania is on there. Does that not impress you much?

No, Highway, that don't impress me much

Is it stuck in your head now

This thread is hilarious.

People like to play music in their gardens when the weather is nice. I often don't share their taste in music but that's tough.

Amazing the things people get het up over!

It bloody is Highway!

I loved that song when it came out, I was nine and begged my mum for a cheetah print coat.

She said no. :(

looks like we made it! look how far we've come now babyyyyyyyyyy

Hearing some music playing outside occasionally reminds me that my neighbours are enjoying life, which is good. Cranked up to 11 playing deathcore, maybe not so much. Isn't it a matter of degree.

I too enjoy the feeling of calm generated by lying on the grass with the sun beating down on my face, accompanied only by the sound of rustling leaves and birdsong. To get this, I go to places where there are no other people, rather than on my patch of dirt in the middle of suburbia surrounded by thousands of people all doing things. To expect them all to be silent for me seems nuts, frankly.

at complaining at the sheer smell of a BBQ

OP yanbu. A tablet at half volume is nowhere near the same as blasting music with the windows and doors open. I find it very ironic the way certain posters are accusing you of bring rude to your neighbours at the same time as calling posters "selfish pigs" "chavs" and so on

Now you see that's why you think that the Shania Twain haterz have been nasty Mistress. Those of us who were teens in the 80s appreciate excellent music, having grown up with the masters of rock such as Kajagoogoo, 5 Star and Europe. I'm afraid that Shania and B*Witched just don't cut it after that, hence the disdain.

PS - your Mum was a cahhhh for not letting her 9 year old have a cheetah print coat. I hope she has apologised to you?
