NDNs and noise, are they BU?

[canveyisland]

Mostly get on well with NDNs (couple plus three DC) although they are a different generation and outlook to be fair. I work from home so a long weekend with great weather is a miracle and means I can spend time in my small garden relaxing.

All day yesterday there was loud Radio 1 type music streaming into the garden next door. All day. And today NDNs have put it on again, probably for the whole day since they leave it on while they're out.

I don't get it. Why do some people do it and why are other people living around just not on their radar? These NDS are usually ok in other respects but this noise is upsetting me a lot. I don't have many opportunities to get relaxation and peace in my garden and I'm pretty much close to tears now.

OH feels the same but doesn't have an answer. I can't talk to NDNs about without very likely losing it because I'm so upset, but that would be a mistake because we have to get along due to layout of the houses.

I'm indoors well away from the source of the problem typing this and I can still hear the doof-doof from here. If the machine were to be turned off we could hear birdsong and the breeze in the trees.

How weird to be leaving it on whilst out

I second aiming a hose pipe at it

I used to do this when I was a teenager. I used to think the music was so cool everyone should hear it to know how BRILLIANT my taste in music was. I wouldn’t have given my silently seething NDN a second thought. Sometimes neighbours used to phone to complain and I’d turn it down then and get all embarrassed

I don't get it either. Some people are incredibly selfish. One house which backs onto my garden was blaring out happy hardcore at 10am yesterday and the guy was clearly bladdered, f-ing and blinding at his kid and demanding they bring him more beer. Makes me appreciate my nice quite retired neighbour all the more.
