To ask what’s reasonable re neighbour evening noise

[crispysausagerolls]

Obviously it’s no one’s problem that I have a sleeping child/it’s so hot windows are open in child’s room etc, but I would have thought that whooping and cheering and playing football in the garden would maybe die down around 8/9pm, just because of neighbourly consideration. Is that not a thing? What time would people expect loud playing to stop in the garden? By all means DS wakes up at 5.30am and would love a run and a play in the garden but we hold off until after 10 because neighbours...

Ugh I feel you OP. My neighbour has less than stellar parenting skills so her little shits children are running around our cul se sac until 11pm, screaming and laughing and kicking footballs around and keeping our children up. She also has insanely loud video calls with family until midnight with her bedroom window flung wide open. We have our windows shut tight all night and can still hear her hysterical laughter when we're laying in bed.

I don't understand how some people can have so little consideration for others. I ran the outside tap at 10pm last night to water the plants and felt guilty about the noise.

Those times are not a myth; they're part of the Environmental Protection Act.
