To have a 6:30am freestyle drumming party with three 6yos tomorrow morning?

[amousehaseatenmypaddlingpool]

My newish neighbour is having a party. He's met us and knows we have three small children. He's also met the other neighbour in our group of houses, an older lady.

The two other houses here are empty - both families on holiday.

The music is crazy loud, the kids are already going nuts with the lack of sleep and older lady neighbour has just been round asking for our help getting the noise down. Not off, I get that it's 11:30 on a saturday, just down.

So DH goes round, already to be civilised, and gets told to 'fuck off.' The music is now louder. They're screaming.

The police won't be interested, we're rural. Revenge is on my mind and his bedroom overlooks my back garden. I'm sure I can fashion drums out of various bits of the kitchen and shed.

AIBU? They certainly are

Get a motorbike and rev it, a lot. I should know as my neighbour does this and it's f'ing annoying especially when you are trying to get kids to sleep. Or a large paddling pool and splash about in it screaming like you are being murdered. Again another neighbour.

Yes I'm moving....

Plus of course all of the other excellent suggestions.

surely it's time to finish off with some fireworks 🙉

You need Wu Tang Clan on repeat. No one disrespects the Wu Tang.

Do it but I'd warn old lady

Or trip their fuse box if you can get to it?

Our phone reception here isn't so great, which is why taxis beep, but they're not supposed to.

Why don't they get out and knock on the door?

Our ds practised his beginner trumpet lessons next to the annoying neighbor's fence. Idk why, he dragged a chair to the side yard, sat down and made sounds like a herd of dying donkeys. Music lessons coming up?

Why don't they get out and knock on the door?

Probably for the same reason they dont here, where phone reception is excellent and the road isnt particularly wide......because they can't be arsed

I wouldnt mind so much but a lot of shift workers (DH included) use taxis so they wake the whole damn street up when they beep. DH actually stopped using his regular co because of this and within a couple of weeks the next co started doing it

here's a good one...only works if you're adjoined though, you need an old bit of wood and an electric drill... remove the drill bit ,place wood against adjoining wall and now "drill" the wood!
it makes a noise as if you're really drilling.

I know because i do this to my dear neighbtards on occasion when there's a ruckus emanating through our rather thin adjoining walls.

Works like a dream, the silence is instant.
I imagine them sat stock still like rabbits caught in headlights!

Seeing as how they love noise so much...
...HAVE SOME BACK!!! 😂😂😂

Difficult. If you retaliate [and I can understand your wanting to] you will probably start a neighbour-war, and they never end well.

I'd suggest red alert by basement jazz with everyone taking a part (e.g. The high squeaky bits, the low bass bits etc) and practicing over and over. Really loud!!!

Basement Jaxx not jazz obvs.

Op there's a 10 hour video on YouTube of drilling just hook the computer up to some speakers and go our for the day!!

Even if it is rural surely local council environmental health will look into this. As others are finding noise difficult should be a lot easier to get something done. Even though tempting I wouldn't respond with more noise. You never know he could be recording. Report to official channels.

Too late now but 999 and say the drunk people are having a domestic. Say someone is trying to climb your fence. Your children are terrified.

Minaktinga that is an abuse of the 999 service if it's not actually true.

Love this! I remember my dad telling me about neighbours we had when I was a baby. Apparently they played really loud rock music late at night waking me up. So, the next morning my dad put the speakers of his fancy sound system against the wall and blasted them with Beethoven's 18 12 so loud It vibrated through the floor. He said the cannon blasts were particularly effective. They got his point and never did it again.
