To want to call the police about neighbours kids party?

[DollyDayScream]

...
They are making a racket. Swearing, screaming, shouting, music, unidentifiable noises.

The parents have gone away/out for the night. Last time, they came home at midnight, turfed everyone out and left the neighbours (us) to deal with anti-social behaviour and bottle smashing.

It's Summer, so the windows are open, this makes the noise more intense.

Should I call the police or suck it up (again).?

Send your kids out to play in the garden with their noisiest toys. Many years ago, when I was young and inconsiderate, I went to a very very noisy house party which went on til far to late. Next morning we were trying to sleep it off but got woken up by the neighbours’ children who had been sent to play outside with pots and pans. Served us right!

I hope you and your children are having fun with the lawn mower now on, pots and pans and music on :)

Have a nap later and be glad it isn't your house. Must be trashed poor parents.

I would now sweep up any glass and return it to the neighbours garden then get your hedge cutters out and lawnmower out. You will feel a bit better then.

I'll make myself immensely popular here but no, I didn't do any of this as a teenager and yes, I do judge this stuff. It's horrible and makes you feel awful and vulnerable too.

I also think that repeated noise nuisance at night this loud is a new phenomenon. We're not built to handle it overnight. Loud deep thuddy bass music literally couldn't have happened a century ago, and I bet there were other social controls (like tight-knit communities or lack of alcohol) to shut particularly loud people up.

OP, be as noisy as you can today. Send kids to play outside. Mow the lawn.

I'm sure there's some noisy diy that includes drilling, go on put those shelves up. Mow the grass. Get your kids yo have a full on water fight in the garden etc. etc.

Those who are suggesting being noisy to annoy the neighbours-have you considered your other neighbours too?

I'd feel equally grumpy at someone who sent their children out with pots and pans to be noisy at 8am on a Sunday morning.

Can you raise other victims and start a Lawnmower Symphony?

Sadly, I suspect all our suggestions above will have little impact as it is well-known that teenagers sleep like the dead.

And not Led Zeppelin - Verdi Requiem, first movement. Classical thud-crash!

You could always mow the lawn and work off your grumpiness with the thought of their pounding hangovers .

After midnight i would have called the police especially if not a one off. Just remember to dump any party waste on their doorstep.

Go out and make some noise, but they’ll probably manage to sleep through it if they’re teens! Play some death metal and get kids to bang along on pans.

My twatting neighbour decided that 11pm was a good time to get the jet washer out last night
My bedroom is at the front of the house so it was right under my window. What’s the matter with people? It went on for 45 minutes!

He was washing his car with it and I am fantasising about tipping compost over it (and him). He has form, scorched all our new fencing panels by having massive bonfires in his garden.

Anyway, glad I got that off my chest, it wasn’t worth starting a thread about so I thought I’d do it on yours

I'd be making LOADS of noise all day now to get my own back! Lol.

And make sure you tell their parents that they have to clean your property if they made a mess on your land! Don't let them get away with that.

My adult neighbours used to throw very loud and very regular Saturday night parties until 5am (that stank of weed so we could never have our windows open) which used to send me into a furious rage - thankfully they moved! 😁

Teenagers won't wake up by someone mowing the lawn - they'll sleep through a tornado, especially if it's an alcohol induced sleep.

I have a teenager currently asleep, hoover, radio played at volume - he won't surface till after midday, maybe later!

Go and check where the broken glass is now - if there is any on your neighbour’s land, your land or the pavement knock on their door and ask them to clear it up properly now before anyone gets hurt.

If they say they are too tired they only went to sleep late then point out that funnily enough you were also kept awake until that time but you’re also awake now and they need to deal with their dangerous mess now before anyone hurts themselves.

And if you have dc that could then play noisily in the garden near their side of the fence (assuming no glass issues!) then that also might help you to feel better...

go and bang loudly on the door and keep at it until they are up, then given them hell for being selfish little shits. if they they want to do this kind of thing, go have sex with a rich man and party on his desert island.

and yes,all the pigs on here who think this is ok, you should all live together so the rest of us can sleep.

We had a big party for DH's 50th, in a marquee on the lawn. It ended at midnight. The following night the DC had a party using the marquee (as it was there!) - they were 15/16, and scheduled to finish at 11 pm. At quarter to 11 a policeman arrived on the doorstep, alerted by a neighbour about 10 houses down our lane. I'm sure the fact that the police turned out was nothing to do with the fact that he was a local councillor! The policeman was happy for us to continue until 11, which is the time that legally noise becomes an issue.

If it's just noise - occasionally - I think it's fine. Live and let live.

OP you're not in a minority. It's not acceptable to inconvenience neighbours like that. So what if it's a weekend? People still need to sleep!
Where I live people do call the police for this sort of stuff and they do actually attend.
Hate this "I'll do what the fuck I want" attitude.

That’s seriously not on, did anyone go around and tell them to shut up?? I would have been around by midnight and then if it continued go one more time and threaten that the police will be called. I’d have a serious word with the parents when they get home.
Honestly a party once in a while is fine by me but not until gone 3am. You have to let the parents know and ask them if they go away again to let you know and give you a telephone number you can call if this happens again.

Anyone who has a loud party that goes on late and doesn't think about their neighbours is a selfish git.

Sadly, there are lots of selfish gits out there who only think about themselves.

It's perfectly possible to have a party and not annoy the neighbours.

Dump all the broken glasses all over their garden. I hate selfish people and no idea why in Britain we tolerate it.

After 11 I'd have gone over there and told them to keep the fucking noise down.

My neighbour did similar once. He had the music on so loud it sounded like it was in the same room, at 11.26 I knocked on his door, because I had a newborn baby trying to get to sleep. He didn't hear. I got my metal dustbin lid and banged on his door. He came out, probably stoned by the looks of it, and I asked him to turn it down and explained why. Miraculously, it worked!

if they they want to do this kind of thing, go have sex with a rich man and party on his desert island. and yes,all the pigs on here who think this is ok, you should all live together so the rest of us can sleep.

Oh dear. You sound dangerously sleep deprived

Don't clean it up, bang on their door until they get up and do it

Maybe there should be 2 parts of a town - one for selfish gits and one for people who do think about other people and how their actions can affect others....

I actually think dividing by noise is a great idea. It can't be done of course but it would improve so many people's lives.

Also I don't see why the party goers should get an island and wealth to themselves, can we do the reverse?
