We've lived in our house for 5 years. Neighbours on either side rent. Neighbour to the left is a guy in his 30's, normally very quiet, except when his girlfriend comes round. When she comes over, she usually shows up with a massive case of cider, invites some of her mates round and they end up playing music really loud and singing/wailing/howling at the top of their lungs. First time we went over to ask them to be quiet was a few months ago at 5am (how we managed that late, I'll never know). He was very apologetic. Since lockdown, it's become more frequent, basically once a week now. I banged on the wall at 2am last weekend. They turned off the music and knocked back (which I chose to interpret as an apology and went back to bed instead of banging their door down).
Now, on a Sunday of all days, it's started again. 4pm it started this time and still going strong. Can't NOT hear it regardless of what room I'm in. DH and I went on an evening walk earlier because I thought I was going to have a breakdown and I just needed to get away from it. I'm 6 months pregnant and it's stressing me out - once they start, it's like my ears perk up at every single sound. I hear it through the tv, our music playing, etc etc. The shrillness of it is insane.
How early is too early to tell them to keep it down? DH has work at 7am so we normally go to bed around 9:30pm-10:30pm. I know the noise ordinance is 11pm but they normally ignore that so why should we wait that late for a bit of peace?!
