To tell my neighbour to stop making a massive noise

[Plancina]

My next door neighbour has spent most of today and yesterday using a deafeningly loud chainsaw in his back garden, it is audible all through my house even with windows and doors shut and makes it impossible to sit outside as it is an excruciating noise. WIBU to ask him to stop it?

I can hear a chainsaw too...

Weird... we can’t be (distant) neighbours, can we 😂

Yes you would.

Once he gets it done it'll be done. He's not doing anything illegal or antisocial and is probably taking advantage of the enforced time off work and the decent weather to get things done that he's been putting off for the last few months.

Ask him to limit his time with it. It’s really unfair to him to be doing this.

I'll swop it for my neighbour's loud music! He's managed to really annoy someone else whose had words.

I have both sides AND opposite using chainsaws at the moment. Wtf is it national stay at home and ise a chainsaw day today ?

Our neighbour has been doing the same thing too! For the last 7 hours. Continuously. Just going on our 'daily exercise'. Might involve digging a large hole in his patio at this rate.

People need to be really considerate in this time. It is stressful enough trying to work and supervise children at the same time without 7 hours of headache inducing noise.

Stop press the neighbour on the left is now mowing his lawn.

My neighbour is drilling something in his house very noisily. I'm trying to work from home and it's making it very difficult.

I'd probably politely ask him how long this is going to take.
So at least you can get ear plugs if need be!

My new next door neighbour has cut his 5ft x 5ft front garden 3 times today... How and why?!

No he’s not being unreasonable (unless he’s at it til midnight). Whatever he’s doing can’t take too long using a chainsaw (unless he has a forest in his garden that he’s chopping down?).

There’s quite a bit of sawing down fallen wood and unwanted furniture etc for firewood going on. Let’s hope your ndn is nearly done.

It's a mow day here on our street, I've heard mowers all day.
At least once he's cut up everything possible he'll stop with nothing left to chop. I hope

He's being very inconsiderate. I stopped my DH using the pressure washer after 2 hours on Sunday. Everyone is confined to their home and these (usually) blokes have to get outside and make a noise without a thought for anyone else.

thinks maybe its his dw/dp cutting him up prior to burying him under the patio - watch out we will be having a thread about this in a minute (unless its op digger VERY LARGE hole & requiring us as witnesses) -sorry I am developing a seriously warped sense of humour have managed to sort out a really difficult benefit thing at distance for disabled dd at distance & the relief is enormous.

Now is not the time to fall out with neighbours. As long as he isn't a chainsaw sculptor I'd let it go.

Mines started a bonfire!

I must be strange because I like the sound of lawnmowers, strimmers, hedge cutters, saws and the like. These, along with the sounds of children playing and people with their music on, are sounds of summer and remind me of days spent at home doing tasks that you don't get time to do in winter or during the normal working week.

Don't fall out with your neighbours if you can avoid it; we all have to spend the next unknown amount of time cooped up at home with nothing much to do. We're all stressed and we're all worried about our health, jobs and livelihoods so tension between the neighbours is just going to end in disaster. Let it go.

just here checking its not me

In fine weather there is always someone somewhere making a noise. I think it's a male thing....they don't go hunting for food anymore, so they compensate by making loud noises.

How many of us clicked on this thread hoping it wasn't about them? My DC has just had the mother of all tantrums this afternoon over school work, the neighbours must hate us. I'd swap the howls of "it's so unfair" for the noise of a chain saw to be honest.

YANBU OP, people should have some consideration for their neighbours.

First washing of the year out on the line, some MASSIVE BELLEND started a bonfire. What an absolute cunt. First day of lockdown when people are in their gardens and they decide now is a good time to smoke everyone indoors. Really questioning the brainpower in Britain at the moment.

Don’t be silly. Chainsaw usage isn’t never ending.
