Or the neighbours??

[Valentine2]

I am sat here grinding my teeth and fuming. There is this -fucking- neighbour who is having a dance party in their garden a house or two down our street and I can hear it through my bedroom window as if the speaker is in my own room nearly!! It's bedtime for DCs and this is after I have put up my white noise machine to try and drown them out. I know it's weekend and all. I know they have the right to do that but this is NIGHT ffs! Should I go and have a word tomorrow? I am fuming.

I blame the change in the smoking laws, people have moved their parties outdoors as less and less smoke indoors now and with it their music and loud friends - even when it's not particularly warm after sundown

Oooooh ! That's very helpful! Thanks a lot!
I can hear it all from every window of my house which is admittedly not so big so makes sense. DS is reciting names of vegetables besides me as I type. i don't think a chronically sleep deprived zombie mother of young children will fit in the cool crowd there.
At least I am thinking healthy right now because of all the vegetables I just heard of

The guidelines on my local council's website say that noise after 11pm should be kept to a minimum even at weekends because people still work etc. Personally I'll be up and working by about 9.30am tomorrow and would be annoyed if somebody kept me awake until the early hours by playing loud music. I really don't think noise of that level should be tolerated in a private residence at night - if people want to party they can go out clubbing or to a rooftop bar that is properly licensed in a way that considers the noise impact on neighbours.

I probably wouldn't complain unless it got quite late, but I definitely don't think the OP is being unreasonable given that it is loud amplified noise at an outside party at a time when many people are going to bed.

I often work weekends myself and DH is going to be up at 7.40 I mirror and is working through the whole holiday. So are my next door neighbours. These are the ones I am sure of. There may be others too. Not to mention other neighbours with young children.

We have a party going on a few doors down too. Their music is shit and loud. I hope they all catch crabs, or similar.

So I have given up on it and DS is playing right now. When he is bone tired he will sleep.
had been planning to read Harry Potter for umpteenth time which is nearly impossible now. Feel like throwing a dung bomb in their garden tomorrow

DS is 5 months old, he'll sleep though it. But I won't. And DS will be up again at 3am... Inconsiderate fucking bastard cunting cockwombles. Arghhhhh.

What is VVVU is having a party in a residential location like this and not sending a note/invite around to all the neighbours - most won't come but would appreciate a ' do drop in for a drink at least' note and an idea of when it will be over or at least will move indoors.

In my university days, on weekends there were people printing notices for next weekend's party. The cheeky fuckers need a telling off and I will do it tomorrow. DS is thankfully dozing off but DH just woke up and checked in on me. I can swear they have turned it up and not down definitely.

I can get my hands on a poop nappy from the pamper bin. Will it be considered too passive aggressive Mumsnet? 😹

I can't imagine why they haven't invited you

Because it's no use to invite parents to an all-nighter I guess? I don't know why though. Actually I am nearly giving into the beat. better go to my lawn dancing and start throwing nappies

Do you live London? Is it the same party ? Saying this because your swearing is absolutely spot on

I think they sound like ignorant fuckers imposing themselves on the people around like that. If you want a loud party then fine, go somewhere more appropriate that a terraced house.
I would be contacting police (nom emergency) if it was me and local authority on Tuesday.

Round where I live noise pollution people can be contacted from 10pm at weekends. I would ring them if you have, they do come out and will follow up from the council. Your neighbours will not be told who reported them so can't come and duff you up.

Otherwise recommend rough musicing them tomorrow morning around 6am. Dustbin lids used as cymbals and anything else you have that makes a noise. Your DC surely have trumpets or similar. I have always found the one note played repeatedly recorder session works wonders as well.

Oh the bloody DJ is alive and kicking! He has just tried to prompt them into dancing on a tune I would much rather puke on are they actually paying him?
On a serious note, I have decided I will file a complaint with the pollution people.

Jesus, I'd be ready to throttle the fuckers by now. Saturday night my arse, and I don't have any small children or work in the morning to fuel righteous indignation. No, you don't live in a field in the middle of nowhere, but you don't live next to a music venue either, and if you did they would have a ruddy curfew in place. Hope they wind it down soon.

I haven't forgiven my neighbours yet for having a loud all-day party in their garden, with shit music, the day my dad died and DS was in the middle of A levels. Fuckers. They didn't know about my dad, but they could have guessed the exams, as their DD had done them the year before.

DH said ring the Police non emergency number(unless you start feeling like you might bump the neighbors off )DH is a Police Officer.

If the noise is excessive which with a DJ I should imagine it is they will tell them to turn it down,unless they have tons of people there then they'll tell them to either wind the party down(because of fire regulations and health and safety)or they'll tell them they need to send some people home.

We've had the same happen where we live OP,you have my upmost sympathy.The one's we had to call the Police for live 10 minutes walk from where we live it was that loud and they had a DJ,the Police had to shut it down because they had over 100 people in a normal sized house in a built up road,it was a nightmare but the Police were brilliant.

annoying yes but yabu, it's saturday night and bank holiday so you may have the same issue tomorrow.

Just send your dc round to play knock a deli at their house in the morning at around 7am. They'll probably be hung over so you could play some really loud heavy metal music in your garden while you're doing your weekly shopping at the local tesco down the road

The party is finally over. All seems quite right now and we can hopefully go to sleep. Tomorrow I am putting in a complaint though. They should be warned at least. Thanks all you guys kept me company. And now off to sleep. I still haven't quite given up the nappy idea though. I have a feeling they will be too hung up to figure how it landed where it will hopefully land in a bit

All went quiet here too, thank goodness! Not in That London, but have cultivated a fine potty mouth over many years
