Neighbours complaining that I play music in the shower

[TheDodgyEnd]

Genuinely not sure if IABU so here goes: Lived in my house for over 6 years. New neighbours moved in just over a year ago. I'm a single mum to 2 SN kiddies so it's very exhausting but on Saturdays I get a day off when kids go to their dads. Every Saturday at about 4:30pm (before dinner and before I settle down on the sofa for the evening I take a shower. I take about 20 minutes and during this time I play music on my phone, not quietly as I want to hear it while I'm in the shower but not house-shakingly loudly either. Like I said I do this once a week for 20 minutes, it is one of the few joys I have as I can't do it during the week as I'm listening out for babies, or don't want to disturb them sleeping. Today neighbour has come round literally as soon as I've turned off music and asked me to stop doing it completely as they can hear it (terraced house - I think my bathroom joins their bathroom). Normally I'm such a people pleaser much to my own frustration but this has really got my back up. I said I'd try and be quieter (which just came out and I'm pissed off at myself for saying it because why should I!)
So AIBU for playing music once a week for 20 minutes? Or are they U for asking me to stop? If it makes a difference they have two kids also who are far from quiet and go to bed v late so I hear them thundering up and down their stairs long after my two have gone to bed but I would never dream of saying anything because surely if you live in a terraced property it's just part and parcel of the deal...right?

I'd move the phone, myself, tbh - you don't need to stop playing music, but if having it on that shelf is amplifying the sound then for the sake of moving it a little then why not?

Ditch playing it through the phone, this is 20 precious minutes you said it yourself. Get yourself a good quality shower radio!!

wow emmyrose it could just be the walls are too thin, i lived in a flat and i could hear the people upstairs peeing, they do so many times a night, not just the footsteps and the door opening and closing or the flushing but the actual pee hitting the water in the toilet, and those were quite possibly the quietest they ever were up there...
Dodgy play your music, its 20 bloody minutes, they can learn to deal with it just like everyone else has to in a flat, you are entitled to make normal living noises! ( b4 the entitled to quiet enjoyment folks pop in, a little light music for 20 mins would come under normal household noises )

Can you just move the phone to the other side of the bathroom so not right on their wall?

Lol, 20 minutes once a week in the middle of the day. What an absolute cheek of them.

emmyrose2000 I lived in a terraced house for 17 years. You could clearly hear your neighbours, and equally, the noise level would NOT have been loud enough to constitute a noise nuisance. Hearing your neighbours is part and parcel of living ina terraced house.

OP, I echo the others, 20 mins around 4:30 in the afternoon, once a week, is nothing. I'd carry on.

Once a week at 4.30 in the afternoon? YANBU!

Keep doing what you're doing, you sound lovely

Unless your walls are made of paper use ignore them.
Bloody hell my music is on all day and I'm always singing along yet none of my neighbours havnt said anything. ide only have it as loud as youde have a tv though.

Op- you need a shower speaker!! They're amazing! I got one on amazon for about £15- best purchase I've made. It's Bluetooth and you can even take calls on it if your phone goes. Ignore them- they are being ridiculous.
