Noisy neighbours - acoustic barrier fencing - AIBU to ask them to pay half?

[angelos02]

Our neighbours seem lovely enough but are elderly and they have their radio on, all day every day, at a volume so loud we can hear it across 2 driveways plus the width of our garden away. I know I should be more easy-going due to their age but surely this is not on?

DH and I have asked them time and again to turn their music down - just at the weekends when we are not at work (as a compromise) and they are fine for a day or so then it creeps back up again.

We have looked into acoustic fencing but I don't know whether or not it will work and it will cost alot of money that we will struggle to find.

Any suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated. I was out of work and suffered from depression last summer and this made it so much worse as I was stuck in the house every day.

ZOMBIE!!!!

nightmare. procedure is:

one more try at explaining how reasonable people behave, and the existence of headphones.
start a noise diary
letter before action
action; EHO at council. It takes ages but these people will never improve so you have nothing to lose.

no-one's music should be audible outside their house. if you think otherwise you are a selfish dickhead.

josepaul doesn't care that the thread is 2 years old, because they're only here to advertise their product.

bugger!!

hope the racket has stopped.
