Baffled by selfish NDN or have a wasted my life being too conscientious....

[Irked123]

They've been blasting music in their garden since 4pm. Highly residential area, narrow terraces and gardens in our row back onto other peoples gardens too. Far louder than it needs to be for them to hear it. Even with all my doors shut in the furthest room from the garden the base is pumping through.

Polite text to ask to turn it down was answered 'we are in the garden'. Now I wasn't great at physics but as far as I can recall they've yet to invent a sound proof 5ft wooden fence post.

I just wouldn't even dream of ruining all my neighbours Saturday afternoons by thinking they also all want to hear my 'music'.

How do people get like this or am I too conscientious of my neighbours?

I feel your pain. There's a woman that lives three houses down from me and she regularly plays loud music in the garden. She had people over until 1:30am recently. She has absolutely no respect for anybody.

Sometimes she'll be on her phone in the garden and I can hear every word. I'm three houses away! Her daughters are early teens and have had two parties in the garden recently, carbon copies of her. I moved beds and slept in the front bedroom. In the middle of lockdown when we weren't meant to be seeing anybody other than our own household she had people in her garden then stopped to clap for the NHS then came back to making a racket. I don't think it's worth talking to somebody like that, they don't care about others

We're moving in the next twelve months hopefully. We've been here nine years and I'll miss her like a hole in the head

If you think talking to your neighbour's will get you somewhere I would do. Texts are easily ignored

Have you got good speakers? Ruin it for them with some heavy metal.

Unless that's what they are playing. Then I advise Vengaboys

Reply “I can still hear it, please turn it down”?! If they don’t, then feel free to start blasting your tunes of choice at approx 7am tomorrow so they have a nice wake up after their boozy night

Rammstein really loud, its the only answer...

Sadly, people like this are becoming more commonplace

No decency

NDN you say? Wait until 7am tomorrow, put something very operatic and dramatic on with the speaker against the upstairs wall. Go downstairs and wait. When she texts, reply that you are in the garden.

I’d go full classical as early as you wake up in the morning.

Get some Val Doonigan or Des O’Connor on, nice and loud! 😁

Never mind heavy metal, play them some loud Chas and Dave.

Or "i would walk 100 hundred miles and..." On repeat. So bloody annoying!

The only response to im in the garden should be so I hear 👂

Noooo!! Cotton Eye Joe on repeat at 7am, speakers against the wall and then pop out for a few hours...guaranteed to make them think again next time!

Now I really think my,business idea,is a goer.

Im going to kit out a flatbed truck out with a djbooth and speakers the size of Stonehenge.

Then hire it out + DJ to mnetters suffering with twattish music playing neighbours.

The DJ will evaluate the music being played, and chose an earbleedingly loud set of the exact opposite, musically.

Is this the way to Amarillo. Loud as you like. On repeat. 7 am.
But in a serious note I feel your pain. People like this are best left to it as they usually end up shooting themselves in the foot so to speak. And don’t think they’re not pissing off everyone else. They really are.

There is certain music called Dechovka in central europe. That kills any party mood.

@YouUnlockedTheGateAnd

Best laugh I’ve had all day

Personally, I would buy their neighbours on either side very powerful sprinklers!

@Burnthurst187 I think you live on my road!!! I have neighbours who are the exact same. Her guests stopped acknowledging me on the drive during lockdown as though if they weren’t heard they wouldn’t be heard!!

Well at least I have the answers to this thread to entertain me!
They are the type of people it's not even worth trying to reason with. Selfish through and through. The constant stream of visitors all through lock down confirmed that to me.

Thanks for letting me vent MN !

I don't think there is such a thing as being too conscientious really (which is different to being dormattish). Your twatty neighbours are in the wrong here.

Is this a regular occurrence? Just wondering if environmental health might be able to help if it's an ongoing thing?

Air Horn, through the letter box at approx 6.30 am, rinse and repeat hourly......This is what one of my neighbours did to our local party animals after they 'partied hard' once too often.

@arsewell it's only ever been this bad when they had a legit party and warned us about it before which obviously I can tolerate (even though it wrapped up 2 hours after they said it would)
However they are very loud in general, radio in the garden on lovely sunny days so no choice but to hear that if I want to enjoy my own garden. Not worth environmental health I don't think.

Luckily we are in the process of moving so praying it all goes through fine.... and quickly!

@irked23 Ah OK... Best of luck with the move and hope your new neighbours are considerate!

My mil got annoyed with her ‘elephant’ upstairs neighbour and was blasting international radio (like Indian music) at all times of the day.

Not saying that is a reasonable thing to do (she is mental - poor neighbour upstairs was just walking normally, we used to live there so we know). But there’s not much more annoying than foreign music that you can’t make out and radio ads that you can’t quite hear etc. No predictability = extra torture. Also bonus wtf points.

But then you also have to hear it - hope you have earplugs.

I don’t understand people like this.....why presume people are happy about listening to your music? I was walking the dog on the beach last week and the number of people, all ages, who were pumping out music as though they were doing everyone a favour. Selfish tw@ts. AirPods, anyone?
