To tell the youngsters downstairs to turn their bloody music down?!

[blankpieceofpaper]

Ok, so it is not every night ... and yes it is Saturday.

Non-student residential area, they are young professionals... but it is an old house converted into flats and it vibrates through the floor!

They had a similar party a few weeks ago, so I bet this is until 11.30. I thought it might have been a housewarming or something.

Bah!

What do I say or do?! Hypothetically or otherwise..

I lack the necessary techno equipment to stage an auditory counter attack. :(

Shit, they sensed my anonymous internet complaint! It's stopped! Saints be praised

Wishing you the same very soon op!

I feel your pain but from the other end (that sounds rude!!!).

My (lovely) NDNs have a piano which can be heard in every single room in our house. We have to turn up the tv to hear it when the kids are "practising" They are always "practising". One strike on a key wakes us. Their 3 kids fucking love that piano. They play it every day. On a school day for maybe 4 hours. Over a weekend, maybe 10 hours per day, depending on what they're doing.

I harbour fantasies about turning that fucking piano into kindling!

Or hope they grow up and turn into famous piano players so I can sell my story to a tawdry rag.... my "lack of lay-in hell".

When DC was a newborn our neighbours were up all night every night talking loudly - I mean seriously loudly, it was summer and my neighbours across the street could hear them (as all the windows were open), in between feeds every two hours and the shouting I couldn't sleep a wink, I actually ended up going out in my dressing gown and slippers and banging their door at 3am, they didn't open it but at 9am I tried again and they said how sorry they were and that it wouldn't happen again. I was shocked that they seemed so amicable about it. I genuinely think they didn't realise how insane it was driving everyone, neighbours on the other side of them complained too. Anyway, they really did change, I would go round and ask them to keep the noise down if it becomes a regular habit...

annoying but yabu

Next time maybe record the sound on a phone using the video function. Show how loud your TV has to be to get over the music. I dont think people know how loud it can be in flats with no sound proofing.

Lacontessa - hooray! There was the little mermaid song....... and there is some silence..... no wait, base again! It is is now some rap thing.

IMissGranny - wow, you deserve a medal. Can you go round there with some GM woodworm and drop it on the ivories nonchantly?

Yay, I am now on my fifth hour of the throbbing, vibration, headache-inducing whatever-it-is.

They did not stop as I hoped, before midnight. I have to be up early tomorrow. :(

Yanbu Saturday does not mean as loud as you like till 11pm particularly if you live in attached accommodation or are outside

Thank you maddening - that is about it. We have the right to some quiet past a reasonable hour.

I went down and asked again, but they are still playing. That's it anyway. Will somehow try and sleep.

Thank you everyone.
