Before I start, I’m aware this isn’t the end of the world and other people have much bigger issues with their neighbours but arghhhh mine are driving me insane!
I’m renting and have lived here since November last year. Previously, and older lady lived here so may not have been too bothered by noise etc. Neighbours are a friendly and nice family. But they, the mum in particular, are loud! Think loud voices, booming laugh that kinda thing. That’s not an issue unless they’re in their bedroom, have their windows open and have a full on conversation with loud voices and booming laughs, generally around 6am. Every morning. For context, I and they sleep in the front bedroom of the house, my kids are in the back bedroom.
The neighbours have very heavy wooden doors in their house, which they tend to just let slam behind them. Again, not an issue really unless they’re going to walk their dog in the morning. Regularly before 6am I’m woken up by the front door swinging shut and rattling the whole house. This morning it was 6.20am so that’s a bit better at least! I don’t sleep well and am regularly awake until silly o’clock in the morning. I work so need to be up around 7am anyway but it’s the door slamming that gets me. It’s really grating and makes me twitch every single time now!
Like I said, I know it’s not the end of the world but if I’ve had 3 hours sleep I find it hard to rationalise when I’ve been woken pre 6am by a front door slamming so hard it rattles the windows! It’s even woken the kids who can generally sleep though anything and who sleep at the back of the house. So help! How would you approach this? I need to speak to them but am happily avoiding them at the moment because I don’t know what to say or how to bring it up
