alarm noise from 6:30 ..neighbours gone away

[Puppymum2018]

Yesterday morning we heard a loud alarm at 6:30 stopped after 10 minutes- scratching around the house trying to find the source. Checked all kids iPads etc no alarms set.
This morning (Sunday) alarm again at 6:30 and it’s now 7:10 and still going ....pulled house apart alarm not in our house. It sounds like it’s coming from our neighbours and it looks like yesterday alarm was for a trip as their car is also gone.

The noise is driving me mad and DH and I are not morning people - I only want to at least stay asleep till 7:30 on a weekend now the kids are older, we work all week :(

I’ve no idea what to do ....they are new neighbours & not sure if anyone will have a spare set of keys :( hoping it’s a weekend break not a two week trip :(

I’d have lost my bloody temper before now. You have the patience of a saint!

Have you said anything to them yet?

Not being funny but how thin are your walls, that you can hear an alarm clock going off?

It might be a vibrating phone alarm. The noise of the vibrations really travels. My sister uses hers and i asked her to put it on something soft to muffle vibrations.

It’s a really loud noise ...I swear it’s tapped to the wall.......I think it’s a phone alarm- I don’t hear anything else! I have teenagers and with the previous neighbours i used to apologise for living next door to us and they said they never heard us! I don’t hear anything other than this alarm noise!
I did pop over and no answer :(

Could you knock on the door when the alarm is going off?

@jimmyjammy001 avoid old houses. Ours was built in 1910 and it has a single wall between the two houses, rather than having a wall, air space, then wall. It means that we hear every little noise from next door as there's nothing to stop the noise travelling.

Luckily we have the most amazing neighbour.

Our 15yo new build, never heard a peep including when the old guy had a heart attack and the wife was screaming, plus paramedics being in their bedroom etc. She came around to apologise and despite our beds being opposite sides of the same wall, we didn't hear anything.

So did you knock on their door and tell them it's bloody annoying??

We have gone our tonight but if it starts in the morning we will have to knock at 6:30!

Definitely ask them about it, that would drive me crazy too!!

Has it gone off?

Did it? Hope you've finally told them!!

It went off again - we did knock on the door no answer but the alarm was then switched off.
Also daft DH had accidentally set his alarm loudly at 6:30

Need coffee

It’s back and going of nice and loudly on time on f@@@@ Sunday @ 6:30. Husband has lost it and knocked on door no answer. We arguing as apparently it’s my fault for not saying anything.
Why are people so selfish and not thinking of anyone else? I’m just not a confrontational person but this has to stop!
The noise is driving us mad only 37 minutes left till it switches off

Again??? I think I'd be about ready to burn their house down now, or keep banging on the door until they answer it.

I'd be collaring them during the day and telling them it has to stop if I could.

Can't see above, have you put a note in through their door? You literally have not spoken once to them yet? It's literally been months now!

We arguing as apparently it’s my fault for not saying anything.

Is he incapable of speaking or does he just regard it as wife work?

Just write them a note! If they don’t realise you hear the alarm every time and we flip this around you both start to sound a bit psychotic. I’m not sure I’d answer my door to you...

This would send me into a frenzy! Once you home into a noise it's so annoying and you go to bed expecting it .... full of anxiety :(

I'd be banging on their door at 6am every morning until they answered.

Oh fgs! Just go and speak to them! Really can't believe neither of you has the gumption to go and sort this out. What on earth will you ever do if something really serious happens in your life that requires you to stand up for yourselves? You sound like a couple of frightened children. Grow up.

Why on earth don't you go and speak to them during normal daytime hours instead of only ever banging on their door at 6.30am when they're in bed and you're annoyed?

YABVU for letting this drag on for months without addressing it in a normal, non confrontational way

I just not a confrontation person - I just like to live my life privately, quietly and not cause issues. I’ve seen how issues with neighbours can escalate. We had lovely neighbours for 10 years and now alarm neighbours have made the last month bloody annoying.

They have a ring doorbell so will know my husband was at the door at 6:40 this morning- car is gone so I guess they’ve gone away :( joy to wake up to the noise for an hour again tomorrow.

Go round now and speak to them.

We have tried to speak to them at other times but they didn’t open the door or we out /they out
