Is it unreasonable to play music in the garden?

My NDN hs the radio on in the garden ALL THE TIME the weather is good. Sometimes she is out there with it, sometimes she isn't - either way I am subjected to it in every corner of my own garden. I hate it.

My NDN on the other side doesn't, nor does my next door but one neighbour (radio woman's other NDN). I can't hear any others. In other words, in a space where nearly everyone is consistently demonstrating that they prefer just normal ambient noise - kids playing, birds singing, pools splashing etc - she is making everyone listen to constant shit music.

I think this is objectionable but I am pretty she, and a lot of people, would think I am being unreasonable and uptight. I'd like to ask her for a break from it - say a period of time in the afternoon when I know it will go off or something.

what do you think?

I live in a hot country and spend an awful lot of time outside in my garden. We also often eat meals in the garden, socialise in the garden etc.

I think I play music out there about two or three times a year at most, and it is always fairly low volume and is turned off by about 9pm. If I want to listen to music then I go into my house to do it.

Some people are just inconsiderate arseholes.

I had this with a previous next door neighbour years ago. I politely asked her to turn the music down one hot afternoon and she told me to wear headphones. I said that that wasn't quite how it works and the next day made a complaint to her letting agent. Cheeky bitch.
