Sunday afternoon noise!

I was sitting in my suburban garden, it’s lovely here and we’re not going out for ‘exercise’ today as it will be crowded in any open space. My next door neighbours and their many grown children who all still live at home have as usual got music on at full blast and now someone has decided to sand something down,
AIBU to think on a Sunday afternoon I should be able to sit in peace especially in current circumstances? They are in all other ways delightful but every Winter I forget just how thoughtless they are in this respect.

My neighbour is "a DJ". He decided to treat his neighbours to a free gig the other day, so after 40 minutes of the worst music known to man, played at ear blistering volume, I text him and told him to shut that shit off, that nobody wanted too listen to his techno mashup of Jolene and Crazy Frog.
He told me that he was trying to fix his speakers, but he forgets that I can see his Facebook and Instagram posts declaring his intentions to cheer up the neighbourhood like they have in Italy. I told him that I could feel his music vibrating in my chest cavity, and the Italians are at least talented.

He turned it off and hasn't tried again since Wink

We played a little music as the kids wanted to do a show. Played in a phone at mid level

How about a show with no music?

It's out of order to not let other people enjoy their gardens in peace. Tbf they can't really help their dogs barking. Playing music that other people have no choice to listen to is another thing

We had some fucking arsehole decide to 'entertain' the neighbours by getting his mic, keyboard and PA system out on his doorstep and sing swing tunes for a couple of hours.

We live on a hill opposite and it was anti socially loud meaning that it just took over everything and completely destroyed any chance of sitting in the garden (unless you wanted to channel sitting in some crappy piano bar all afternoon)

Unfortunately he's now getting loads of attention of Facebook for his 'cheerful' music so I fear it will become some regular session. Why do people feel the need to inflict themselves on everyone else? 🤬🤬🤬

I was obviously very lucky as I didn't hear anyone else at all despite spending the weekend in my suburban garden. Meant that I wasn't at all distracted from my blacksmithing (even if I did ruin it all by burning my steel)

Flixsfoilball that sounds like torture. Did make me laugh the way you put it, but I also sympathise. My neighbours are really noisy and had crap tunes from the past on all day long (sort of 1980s middle of the road with some country music thrown in) which meant that I could either listen to that or not go out. I tried earplugs but that didn't even drown it out. So fucking selfish.
