Fucking loud neighbours!

[CherriesAndGingham]

AIBU to hate my neighbours?

Why they hell do they put music on so loudly they then have to shout over it to be heard?

They don't seem to be unpleasant generally, but seem utterly ignorant of considering anyone else.

I'm trying to finish the work I'd have got done this afternoon if they weren't so fucking loud then too!

I hate them for affecting my life so much. I'm disabled, on benefits and trying to improve my lot by studying. But they are wrecking it. I can't easily move for the above reasons.

Have you asked them to turn it down? Some people don't realise how loud their music is. Just say "Hi, as you know these walls are paper thin. Unfortunately your music is really loud in my flat. I am trying to study, so would you mind turning it down? Thanks so much"

No point sitting in your flat seething.

If they still won't, complain to the council and buy some good earplugs.

I hear you OP!

I've complained about my neighbours on here before. Mine aren't loud music types until the ubiquitous sunny weekend barbecue comes out. Mostly it's their dog howling when it's left outside and horrendous banging, clanking and stomping. I don't understand how they can be that loud while going about their daily lives. I know exactly where they are in the house and what they're doing by the clanking.

Unfortunately the only responses I got on my thread were speak to them (I did, nothing changed) or just put up with it because they have a right to make noise

Your local council should have templates of letters you can send to them to try to resolve yourself. The council will be unlikely to get involved unless you've tried to address this personally first. Sodding annoying.

It's very inconsiderate and selfish of them. Good luck with the studies OP!

Why do some people put on music so loud that everybody is forced to listen to it? Can't they just use headphones?
Friend was trying to read in the garden while numbskull neighbour boomed music across the garden. She wasn't forcing her book on anybody, yet they forced their music on her and everybody else. Numbskulls' kids were in the garden in a pool and all communication had to be done by shouting as a result of the music. Sun brings out moronic behaviour.

Design all communication had to be done by shouting as a result of the music

This is what I find most unfathomable about it. I can understand that some people are just breathtakingly ignorant of the concept of other people existing or being affected by their actions, but to play music so loudly it even inconveniences yourself is so spectacularly dim I don't know where to start!

Fortunately they are not unpleasant people in general so I'm hoping there's leeway for at least some notice of a party. I knocked and they were pleasant and turned it down but only for about 3 minutes. They were drunk...

It's the randomness of it that's difficult too - who decides to have a blasting party on a Tuesday afternoon, for example? It's impossible to plan when to work around it.

I'm now spending what was supposed to be a relaxing day off (needed due to mental health issues) catching up the work I should have done yesterday afternoon/evening.
