About neighbours loud music?

[Namechangergamechanger]

I live in a semi-detached new build house, the walls are paper thin. A new neighbour moved in next door about 6 weeks ago. All been fairly quiet up til now, she hardly seems to be there actually. But on Saturday night she clearly was there, as loud music started up at about 08:00pm, it then got louder at 8:30pm when a few of her mates turned up. I had to have my TV on a pretty high volume so I could hear it without a background of her R&B music. At 10pm a taxi turned up and they all piled in, so it was silent from then on.
AIBU to think her behaviour was U - a warning might have been nice?
Or should I live and let live if this happens again, am I party pooper?
How often/how loud is too much?
I've had loud music-loving neighbours before who were a nightmare, even after formal complaints, I don't want to end up in that scenario again!

I love how the op is expected to be disturbed by someone else's music, or buy some earphones...

It is rude & unsociable to play your music so loud that it forces your neighbours to have to listen to it. But then, no one seems to to have consideration for anyone else these days...

I'm with you Too.
How dare the OP be expecting to sit in her house and not have to listen to the neighbours music.

I wouldn't bother mentioning it this once but it would piss me off. If it happens repeatedly then maybe mention it.

So nobody can ever have a gathering with music? Or god forbid... a party!?

Clearly you aren't my mums neighbour, who Saturday night at 8.05pm went around and instructed her that her level of tv was too high. Mum had turned some music thing up to enjoy one song, and turned it back down again. It had been something like 3minutes 36seconds worth of noise!

Can't pick who you share your party wall with eh.

YABU.

If it was every night or even every weekend I'd sympathise but just for a couple of hours on a Saturday night? No.

Surely a bit of noise is the price you pay for living in a new build which are well known for having thin walls?

Some stuff you just have to put up with.
Thats reasonable IMO.

I did have to complain about my neighbour last Thursday though after being woken up at 4am by blaring music. He turned it down after 45 mins when DP kept banging on the floor to ask him to stop it. Then the next hour there was a lot of 'f* you' and 'woohoo woohoo' shouting. Then the 6am alarm went off for work and we had to get up [hmmm]

YANBU.

Personally I think if you can't hear your own tv at a normal volume (regardless of the time of day) the neighbour needs to turn her music down.

Hope its a one off.

Turned off at 10pm?yabu.

You live in a terraced house, you have to expect SOME living noise. Can you do anything to insulate the walls? I found large bookcases cut down on noise considerably.

YABVU especially as a one off in 6 weeks.

To be honest 8-10 on a Saturday night every week wouldn't be too outrageous either unless it was having a frequent effect on your children
