Ridiculously loud party

17 replies

noisyneighbourhelp · 30/06/2018 14:02

I live in a maisonette, neighbours on the next road ( hard to explain the layout so I've attached a badly drawn diagram, the diagram is what I see out my window) are having a party/BBQ in their garden today, they've brought out a sound-system and are blaring their music.

I am not a miserable grump who is against fun, I'm off to a bbq tomorrow and can't wait however their music is so loud it's vibrating my floor despite my house not connecting to/being joined to them. The music is rapping and about sex etc even though there's kids there. I can see all the other neighbours in the garden glaring at them over the fence.

They've also set up a bouncy castle in the top floors communal garden despite them having no connection to our building and I was planning on doing some gardening today which I can't as they've sat a bouncy castle on top of our plants. I would go and say something but they are known for being aggressive nasty people and I've seen him hit his children and really scream at them.

AIBU to be annoyed and contact the council about this? DP says I'm overreacting contacting the council but he is annoyed as he can't even hear the TV and poorly DC is being kept awake by the music.

It's a party, a one off.

Can you go out for the day instead?

noisyneighbourhelp · 30/06/2018 14:08

@TheQueef DCs really sick so needs to be in bed really, maybe I'll get DP to look after her and go have a day out

I don't agree. If everyone had a one-off party with that much noise there would be no opportunity for anyone to enjoy their garden. By all means have a BBQ and some music but no need to have it that outrageously loudly. Also putting up a bouncy castle in someone else's communal garden without asking is cheeky as hell. No harm in contacting the council in case it becomes a regular occurrence in which case they'll ave a log of previous complaints.

OP - ignore all the people who say you should just put up with it as “it’s a party”. It’s really not acceptable for people to make so much noise that it interferes with other people’s right to peace and quite. I would actually contact the council.

SaucyJack · 30/06/2018 14:13

Is the side garden definitely only for the use of the upstairs maisonettes, or is it just an informal arrangement?

Def. complain if it is. You shouldn't have to put up with it.

Notcontent · 30/06/2018 14:14

Pitter - exactly! In my street if everyone took turns having loud parties late at night then no one would ever get any rest!

noisyneighbourhelp · 30/06/2018 14:20

Thank you for the quick replies.

The garden is 100% just for the upstairs neighbours, we all have a key for it as there's a fence around it with a gate you need to unlock but a lot of the time it is left unlocked which is how they would've been able to get access to it.

Like I said I have no problem with people having parties but when it's so loud it's vibrating our floor and I can hear it even with windows shut I think I'm allowed to be bit pissed off, it's not even good music!

I've rung the council but they're closed and I have to fill in a form online which they'll get back to me about within 3 days... helpful

It isn't late though. It's 2pm.
A bit shit for poorly DS but report them? That isn't reasonable imo.

2am and report away but sometimes people make noise.

SaucyJack · 30/06/2018 14:37

Fill the form in pronto then.

He has absolutely no right to let himself into your garden. The fact you all (I assume?) rent your homes from the same council is 100% irrelevant. It's tresspass/

noisyneighbourhelp · 30/06/2018 16:56

reported two hours ago, doubt they'll do anything as it says I'll hear back within 3 days. It's got even louder, Spoke to NDN who's going to have a word as their baby can't get to sleep through it either

Just lock the gate to the garden to teach them a lesson.

noisyneighbourhelp · 30/06/2018 17:38

@Racecardriver whilst they're in it? 😁

OP posts:
noisyneighbourhelp · 30/06/2018 22:49

still going, with more people just arriving! Never known a 5 year olds birthday party to go on until atleast 11pm

WeirdScenesInsideTheGoldmine · 30/06/2018 22:52

I’d call the police hut I have no time for that shit, having lived in a student ghetto with two babies. You could certainly get advice off the police if you call your station

BackforGood · 30/06/2018 22:59

This actually is one of those rare posts where I agree you should call the police (101 not 999 obviously). They are trespassing in the first place, but this isn't just a family party type level of sound if the floors are vibrating in your home.

noisyneighbourhelp · 30/06/2018 23:22

Thank you for agreeing with me I'm glad I'm not overreacting. I'll give them 10/15 mins then fall 101 as it's been going on non stop for 10 hours now 😡

I live in one the big cities though so not sure if 101 will care as they probably have more to deal with on a Saturday night but I'll ring them anyway

OP posts:
PitterPatterOfBigFeet · 30/06/2018 23:58

Good luck OP hope they've shut up! I don't agree with the people who say that before 11pm anything goes. Obviously more goes but it still shouldn't be disturbing the entire neighbourhood.
