NC for this as it's a bit identifiable.
I'm worried I've lost all perspective of what is 'sociable and normal' at this point - I know during lockdown we needed to be more tolerant but I'm really at the end of my tether with this situation:
We live in a very built up part of London, very close to a SEN school which specialises in communication. Our block of flats runs alongside one side of their playground, there is a row of houses who's garden's back on to one side, and another black of flats parallel to ours on the third side of the playground.
The school is, naturally, quite noisy. But I think they forget how much sound travels, and that the majority of people are now wfh. They play music, loudly, in the playground from 11-3. The teacher puts it on when she's setting up the playground for lunch and then leaves it on - I think they must have staggered lunch breaks. Of course now it's summer, they are running summer school so it sometimes play until 4/5 and there are no lessons. Chart music, same 8ish songs on repeat all day, five days a week. It's loud enough that DH's boss has had to ask him to 'turn the radio off' whilst he was on a call with clients. I'm in our front room (working) and I can hear word for word the Tinnie Temper song they're playing at the moment. I appreciate it's a communications school, and music is probably helps (I don't claim to have any understanding of the kind of teaching that takes place) but it's really starting to grate. The spaces we're working in are our only real options, and like I said I'm at the front of the flat (so away from the playground) and I can still hear it.
The caretaker also likes to use a leaf blower/hammer/drill at 7am in the morning which also grinds my gears.
WIBU to email the school office to ask them to at least turn it down? DM and DH think I should just put up!
