If you’re playing music in your garden during lockdown that’s loud enough to be heard outside your garden, you’re an antisocial idiot.

I feel better for getting that off my chest.

We’re all stuck home together apart from our one exercise per day. People could at least show consideration - there’s nowhere to escape.

People with antisocial neighbours must really be suffering now.

Completely agree

I was wakened yesterday having been on nightshift by my twat of a neighbour’s loud music. There’s just no need

My next door neighbours are doing this right now and have been all morning. Listening to ABBA incredibly loudly in their back garden. It's seeping through all the windows. I don't mind people playing music but honestly it's much too loud. I don't need to be subjected to their tastes in music. If I started playin music as loudly as them, I imagine they'd struggle to hear their own music and be pretty pissed off. Some people have no consideration for others.

Think yourself lucky it's just music - my neighbour has just driven off to the supermarket and her teenage son has taken the opportunity to watch a porno film with the windows open.

Blaring clearly isn't on, but even quiet voices can be heard from one garden to the next, so effectively that would be a ban of all music, of any volume, in a garden. And that goes too far IMO.

Certainly, if you have music on pretty quietly and the immediate neighbours aren't out, that's ok, or are we all expected to sit in silence?

Absolutely.

And dogs need to be trained not to bark all the time they're in the garden. So many people are trying to work from home just now and it's so inconsiderate to have a badly behaved dog.

And dont get me started on bonfires and barbecues!

Our neighbours played really loud music in their garden for 6 days on the run last week. They only stopped when the weather turned.
I'm dreading it being sunny again.

I had to come in from the garden, there's only so much Adele one can take 🤦‍♀️

It’s mad isn’t it? People playing music outdoors don’t realise that we all have different tastes.

So unthoughtful.

We have explicit lyrics next door. Great.

I think my neighbour needs this memo. She blares shitty dance music persistently and lets her kids have their music or tv on full blast with the windows open. This is coupled with 2 large dogs barking for hours on end and doors slamming repeatedly. She knows we have a new baby, is well aware my DP works long shifts, including nights for the emergency services yet she couldn't give a shit about keeping the noise to a reasonable level.
She's currently got a bbq going yet is the first to complain when someone else lights one and her washing is out. She's a heavy smoker too so I can't even have my windows or patio door open as it blows straight in.

I completely and wholeheartedly agree.

My direct neighbours are out in the garden, pottering around and chatting, playing with the dog, lovely, no problem, that's what I'd expect.

My other neighbours, whose garden backs onto mine, have reggae blaring inside the house with all their windows open, not lovely, very bloody annoying.

Have any of you asked your neighbours to turn the music down?

@ofwarren I dread warm weather too, it's shit that we have to hope for rain just to shut them up.
I was so looking forward to this summer as I have 4mths off on maternity and my neighbour finally got a job - should have been bliss. But now I'm stuck listening to them screaming through the walls or screaming in the garden. By the time this is all over I'll be back at work and won't have had a single day to myself.

I'm not bothered tbh. The people at the back of us sometimes play their music loud enough to be heard and although it's not to my taste I can just tune it out. I'm unusual on here though because I quite enjoy sitting in my garden and listening to the sounds of summer: people chatting and laughing in their gardens (there are some big households with more than 2 adults and several children round here so even with the lockdown they're still able to do that), children playing and squealing, people's music, lawnmowers and strimmer etc etc. It's what you have to expect and live with if you live in close proximity to other people.

Goes for anytime

loud music here as they are in the garden and it thuds through the wall, just asked nicely to turn the bass down and she's got a face like a slapped arse as a result but has done it, music still too loud though.
some people are total twats.

Ugh, our neighbours are doing this today. In the garden being generally loud anyway (the adults are just very loud!) but blaring music so we can hear it inside the house with windows shut. They’re nice enough, just bloody loud! Last year I toyed with emailing their letting agent to complain but didn’t because they’re not bad people, but this year may tip me over the edge!!

If we turned on any music at all in the garden both sides would be able to hear it. We can hear the toddler next door. Not everyone lives in an enormous detached house.

I've had quiet music on playing from my phone when I work out for 30 mins. I'm trying not to crumble and it keeps me sane.

I dunno, one of our neighbours was playing some absolute bangers yesterday and people in other gardens were singing along.

I quite enjoyed it!

Everything my neighbours do is loud, I don't think they realise at all, I can hear them inside when they have their windows open. I have resorted to coming indoors when they are outside and sometimes have to close my windows especially when I am trying to work. I'm dreading weeks and weeks of this, especially as the weather is due to be nice. There is just no way to escape.

We have folk that live behind us. If it's not the music it's the power tools...all day long. And if it's not the power tools it's the music and the power tools. The music being loud enough to hear over the power tools.
They have a 'party shed' in the garden and regularly had mates over every weekend. The music so loud we could hear it in our street.. we live in the next street. We have tried telling them and all we get is abuse.
We pray for rain at weekends!

I’ve been in my garden all morning - headphones on. I have AirPods though so it’s made it a bit easier. Appreciate if you are gardening or doing fitness you need somewhere to keep your phone while moving around if you have wired headphones.

I don’t know when it became ok to play music in your garden. I don’t think it is. If I did it at least eight households would be affected (small garden surrounded by flats and other tiny gardens).

Meglett why not wear headphones? If people can’t exist without a soundtrack to their life then that’s their issue. Just wear headphones and stop expecting everyone within earshot to want the same soundtrack to their life

Doesn't especially bother me but I grew up around loads of it. TBF, even if they were playing music at a moderate volume but left their window open I'd be able to hear it.
