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 get its annoying but i think you are being dramatic with the how tired you are, its going off at 6:30 not 4:30, its early but not middle of the night early

Definitely agree. During a working week, I've been up for at least an hour and a half by then and can function fine until I go to bed as normal.

6.30 is a normal time for an alarm to go off. It isn’t normal to leave it going for for an hour Hmm

If they do not respond to your appeals for a bit of shut eye. Stay up until you are sure they are well asleep and make some noise yourselves - aimed at their bedrooms to make sure you wake them up. Do this until they stop being so selfish.

For all of those saying that they get up at 6.30am and are not tired. You are spectacularly missing the point. Everyone needs different amounts of sleep and Christmas is a time a lot of people use to recharge their batteries. If it is early for the op then it is disturbing her peace which she has an absolute right to. Leaving an alarm on for an hour and when you go away is extremely selfish. It would massively piss me off too op and you are within your rights to say something

It’s a Sunday and it’s loud :( and it’s the set up for for the day - grumpy and beeping in your head like a drill!! & I have a week off - I don’t want to wake up by someone else’s loud alarm and then hear it for an hour! I’m not a morning person either which isn’t helping.

to be honest working week I haven’t noticed it as I’m up and about or the cats have woke me.

It’s just rude and selfish. The neighbours before where shift workers and I never heard an alarm or a noise. This noise is loud and even when it’s eventually stops you can still hear it in your head!!

Such a shame you let it continue for over a month.

Really really empathize. We had this years ago in our old house. Semi detached 1930s house where our bedrooms were next to neighbours. They had alarm go off every morning from 530 and it was one of those plug in ones that sounded like a truck reversing indication noise. It would beep for ages, then I guess they would snooze it and it would then go again. This lasted for ages. I was going out of my mind with anxiety and could never catch them in. I'm no confrontational either but i eventually got them in and the lady was really upset they had put us through that. She said her husband kept falling back to sleep and sleeps through alarms. It was resolved thank goodness but made our lives a nightmare. Was like drip drip torture everyday x

How could they not hear it though? Anyway hopefully it's now disabled.
