AIBU to give neighbours a taste of what they expect me to tolerate?

[Pricklemyfancy]

DH and I work full time and are up at 6am Mon-Fri.
My DH and our 2 DDs (4 and 7) live in a semi-detached house which has been built without our stairs forming the 'barrier', iyswim. Our bedroom is next to their bathroom; my DDs' room is next to their younger child's (18) room.
Neighbours have 2 adult (18 and 20-something) children living with them.
Their "children" bang doors into the early hours, play Youtube stuff at a volume that can be heard clearly in our rooms, play some sort of Call of Duty style war game so we can hear the bangs and groans and explosions... this frequently goes on until 2am. We can fall asleep, but then are woken up repeatedly throughout the night.
I approached the neighbours some months ago and explained that we could hear their noises and were being woken up, and to ask if they could be quieter past around 10pm. They were lovely, but nothing changed.
I went around again last week to ask again if they could be quieter. This time I was received a bit differently, with the father saying he couldn't "tell people what to do". One night last week, the noises were so loud that I went around at 1am to ask them to be quiet. The 20-something adult child answered the door, said they had all been asleep (!) and told me to get away from the doorway or they would call the police.
Only one of them works; the others seem to mope around in dressing gowns all day when they eventually do get up. Would IBU to leave for work on Monday having turned my sound system on loud and directed at their walls from 6am?

Your children are of a perfect age to begin learning a musical instrument. Maybe recorders??

@alistarric2 you took it out on her dogs? What a fucking horrible thing to do

I agree, @HeartyGreenSalad - feeding the dogs laxative chocolate was an evil thing to do, @alistairric2. You could have killed them - chocolate is poisonous for many dogs.

Question. If you involve the council would you still need to declare it to future buyers? If yes that's what's OPS trying to avoid.

You do have to declare any issues with neighbours and there can be repercussions if you don't.

@LangSpartacusCleg Wagner 😂😂😂😂

I had some noisy neighbours once. They were actual, bona fide twats of the highest order. So I developed a love for bagpipe music. Which needs to be listened to LOUD to appreciate the different melodies in the song. And because I loved it that much, there is even a 10 hour recording of 'Scotland the brave' on youtube that needed to be listened to in its entirety. And when I got bored of the bagpipes, the Christian metal made a pleasing change

Neighbours soon stopped being assholes when they realised as soon as their crappy shite came on I would turn my stuff on equally as loudly. Soon stopped them because let's face it, who wants to listen to bagagonypipes for 10 hours on the trot.

My next door neighbour went off for a long weekend without switching his answer phone alarm off. It's one of those that beeps every couple of minutes until you check it. Someone phoned him about 2 hours after he left, damn thing annoyed me for 4 nights. Try and find something similar, that is "not unreasonable".

I had a neighbour who had a barking dog she would let out at 6am to bark all day. I worked from home and it drove me mad. At the weekend she liked lay in and dog wouldn’t go out until at least 12. I asked so many times (at first politely and delicately and then firmly and curtly) not to let the dog bark. Nothing changed.

In the end I got a YouTube sound video of a dog barking for 10 hours. Slapped that on at full
volume through the TV at 6am on Saturday and went out all day.

Things changed after that.

I couldn't find the Joe Pasquale version, so I give you this instead....

'I know a song that get's on everybody's nerves

Just rinse and repeat ad infinitum.

No don't.
Keep relations civil if you are worried about selling on. Otherwise they could make life difficult. It's always better to get on with the neighbours.

@nicky7654 The Council will not do anything apart from a quiet word

This is absolutely FALSE!

Even if their house is owned by them, the Council can (via Court orders and after lots of fines & ASBO issued etc) eventually have them forcibly sell the property and will even physically remove them. All with the help of Courts with evidence gathered via recordings.

@Pricklemyfancy OP, call Environmental Health and get the ball rolling

*Owned by the neighbours, I meant

@HavenDilemma I have watched plenty of documentaries where the Council does absolutely nothing. Watch Neighbours from Hell !

@ivykaty44 Hey!! Got any GRAPES?!!
