We live in an end terrace, it's a new build and unfortunately the walls don't seem to be very soundproof and we can hear everything through the wall. The TV, the music they have on (probably at a reasonable volume!) and whenever they have people round or speak loudly.
It's literally driving me up the wall. I can't stand hearing the buzz of the bass of their music for hours at a time on my evenings. The guy owns a record shop, so it's even decent music. But even so, I like to have quiet and can't concentrate when all I can hear is bzzz bzzz bzzz. I don't mind having my own music on but something about an annoying bassy buzz through the wall drives me insane!!
It's not got to the point we have considered sound proofing yet, and I don't really want to say anything to the neighbours as we've only lived here 4 months, don't know them well and plus I don't think they even have things on loud, think it's literally just thin walls.
Why does other people's music noise get to me so much? After an hour I literally want to scream! I get really frustrated and I can still hear it even with our TV on, I just cannot bloody relax or seem to forget about it whenever I can hear it!!
AIBU for letting it get to me so much? Do other people feel the same about this sort of stuff? Is there a way to make myself less bothered about this? Arrgh!
