To ask my neighbors to keep the noise down?

[An0nym0us2011]

We live in terrace houses, their garden is pretty much under my son's room (the layout of the properties is quite confusing & hard to describe) but about 11pm and they're blind drunk, listening to mcfly as loud as they're radio can go, dancing in the garden. Just the two on them. Howling along to the song.

At this point they've woken my 2yo up & he gets pretty spooked about loud noises. So iv stuck my head out the kitchen door, took me a good 5 minutes to get their attention and said "hi, sorry do you mind turning it down abit you've woke DS up and scared him abit "

Their response "it's fucking new year's eve, iv had a baby before and it's never bothered them"

In which I couldn't really respond as both where f'ing and blinding.
So I just shit the kitchen door and they're still shouting.
They're usually really nice & always talk to us, dote over my son, so abit confused.

Aibu? Cause in my eyes just because it's NYE doesn't give you the right be inconsiderate.

YANBU some folks don’t celebrate NYE , it’s a huge deal over what exactly? So why should those not celebrating suffer?
There’s bars and stuff open late for this reason

I think you have to put up with it- it is NYE

OP if you come back that would piss me off too!!

Hopefully the fucked off back in now!

Normally I'd say YANBU, but it is NYE and there will be fireworks now anyway. You've got on well with these neighbours so best to suck it up this once.

Just to add they're like it regularly, probably 2/3 times a week. There was no fire works where we live

Clanger of a drip feed there OP! Gone from ‘usually really nice and dote in my son’ to ‘they’re at it two to three times a week’.

This contradiction is a conundrum!

@SinglePringle it's not usually as loud as it was last time, last time it was DP asked them to turn it down they're where fine, and went inside. But it is regular, but not so bad we have to tell them to turn it down. As DP asked them to turn it down not long ago, I thought they'd be fine with me asking them too.

I sympathise OP it's annoying but as other people have said it's New Year's Eve! I have a 8 month old DD and had a similar problem with neighbours being loud and setting fireworks off. It's expected.

If this is a regular problem you need to speak to them and tell them. I'm a-bit confused how it's went from them being nice people to them doing this 2/3 times per week. Which is completely different to having a New Year's Eve blow out. Surely if it happens that often your son is used to loud noises from them? (not that I agree with their behaviour if it's that often)

It was NYE, that’s why they were less than accommodating. Also, if they regularly play music and you don’t seem to mind that much, of course they are going to think NYE is cool too.

If they are normally friendly and chatty ,then I think you have to make allowances really .We have had Fireworks here since 6 pm and the helicopter is out too!(live in a medium size town on South Coast BTW not New York!) NYE is one of those nights when its never going to be quiet is it?!

Yabu as it was NYE.
Yanbu as McFly is crap

Same here. My neighbour seems to use any excuse to make loud noise. So this time I went to his landlord to sort. Land Registry. Google this. Cost 3 quid but you get the landlord or owners address. If that fails just put loads of fake blood on a knife then round your face and mouth and walk into their garden. See what happens.

Or tell the Council. NYE or not matters little. Noise Law is 11pm and it is respectable levels. They can get into trouble. Do not let it go! They are nice but they do not respect you. Be bold and complain! Or be a wimp like the rest on here.

If it’s 2-3 times a week that’s not acceptable, my neighbour drunk teen was singing let it go at the top of his voice that was very unreasonable, I’d have preferred McFly.
