Please tell me if I'm being precious

My neighbor is having a party, that's fine it's 7pm it's summer, I'm happy for them (wish I was at one truth be told). My baby can't put himself to sleep because the base on their reggae music is shaking the house. It's not even the noise it's the vibrations.
Would I have a leg to stand on to ask them very nicely if they could lower the base for even half an hour so he can put himself to sleep?
It's literally shaking my walls.

No of course not. If you say it's just for half an hour suspect they are more likely to agree.

Not unreasonable to ask them to turn the base down.

Have you spoken with them before? YANBU to ask them to turn it down a bit.

Okay, I hate doing this sort of thing but he has just had his year jab and is really fussy.
Thanks

I think that’s completely reasonable

They have only just moved in. I don't want to piss on their parade but I'm going to have to ask nicely sooner rather than later. If I hadn't drunk all my wine I would take a bottle over 😶

If the party is a one off, ie the neighbours don't make a habit of it, just suck it up. You could always keep your baby with you in a little cot or pram, whatever you have, rather than in bedroom near the noise.

He is not sleep in a pram size. Regardless of that thou, it's not the room that's affected it's the house foundations.
Few songs I like though. Looking in your eyeeesss I'm looking in your big brown eyes boom boom boom

Off I go to beg for 15 mins 🤞🏻

if they've only just moved in and you think its a one off I'd just put up with it, so I wasn't seen as the whingy ndn. but then I'm a bit soft at standing up for myself.

We're having a little party for my daughter's 16th at the end of the month. We live on a little estate so I'll be putting notes through neighbours doors as it will be 7pm-11pm and about 20 teenagers and we're using the garden so it's only fair to warn them. YANBU

I've done it- literally just asked them if they don't mind just for 20 mins or so and then he will be dead to the world. They were nice. Hope they have a nice party.
Have a great time @livebythecoast

Right you are @OldUnit

Awwww, thank you.❤
Glad they were nice to you

Loud bass is a nightmare OP. Vibrations are worse than volume of music and if you are in a normal house,you really don't need the bass to be at club level!
Manufacturers of sound systems for domestic use should be compelled to limit the bass capacity in my opinion, it makes people's lives miserable if they are unfortunate enough to live near to an inconsiderate neighbour.

I hope both you and your baby get to have a peaceful night, and this is not the start of a pattern of ignorant behaviour by your neighbours.

Okay so they have actually turned it up not down..

Oh no

Seriously? That's awful! I can't believe they've turned it up after being nice to your face!

If it weren't for my son crying because he can't sleep I would literally have no issue. It's not like I can put ear plugs on him. just hope he goes somehow and soon 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yes, it's noticeably louder, unfortunately.

Okay so they have actually turned it up not down..

Suspect the house owner turned it down and someone else attending the party turned it back up again - but even louder. Not sure that you can do any more though.

Complain to the police - you tried to be nice x

Well, i was not expecting that

The police have far more important things to do than sort out something like this!

Will your son fall asleep if you go for a walk? Only because you said omce hes asleep he will be fine, it might be a little walk/drive. You shouldn't have to obviously but... Neighbours 🙄
