Neighbour playing loud music in the garden 3rd night in a row

[purplepencils]

Neighbours son (mid 20's if it matters) a few doors down has been sat in the hot tub with loud music for 3 nights in a row now. I don't know if it's pregnancy hormones and the fact I'm unwell clouding a normal reaction but I feel like I'm going to blow at this point. One off fair enough, but I think this is fucking selfish ignorant behaviour at this point. All windows are firmly shut and all I can hear is the shitty music. If it's not this it's the constant yapping dog in the garden. Summer is hell on earth with them. I've came to chill in bed and read my book for an hour before I go to sleep and it's all I can hear. Yesterday it was that loud I opened the window and asked if they could keep the music down, they didn't hear me over the music so I left it. Do I just keep calm and not say anything? WWYD?

Bump

Terrible behaviour of them. We have a hot tub but would never blare out music etc or even use the jets after 8pm. You could have a word. Are they usually reasonable people?

It depends on the time of the evening as to how unreasonable it is.

Nerf gun.
Fire revolting scented bath bombs in it early tomorrow morning.

It doesn't matter what time it is particularly at the moment what with a pandemic! I'd go round and tell them to shut up. Being subjected to someone's loud music really sets my anxiety off.

I'm not too sure if they are reasonable people as I've not really spoken to them before apart from a hello to the dad here and there. Regarding the time, it's happening now, but its been ongoing for 3 nights now and it's got me feeling on edge to be honest and like I just can't relax in my own house. I really feel for the neighbours right next to them who who very young children who will be in bed by now.

I'm generally not a confrontational person at all and it really is making me anxious.

We had a similar situation in the first lockdown and it went on for 10 weeks before lots of the neighbors complaint to the council and they sent letters to the neighbors and it finally stopped.
Keep a record of it as the council will ask for evidence etc, in our case the idiot was live streaming it to Facebook every night so they had all the evidence they needed.

I would say something, op. It isn't reasonable behaviour. I don't think it needs to be confrontational. Some people have no concept of how much their actions affect others and just need to be reminded from time to time.

Having said that, I posted on here a while back about my asshole neighbours letting their kids scream and shout on their trampoline at 9.30pm and was told to "buy noise cancelling headphones" or "move house", so I think, like you, I'm very sensitive to this type of thing!

Mine are similar. They have erected a kind of covered party shed on the fence line. End of the summer they were out until the early hours with music, fires etc.
This year I’ve planted a few roses on the boundary. I fully intend to fertilise them regularly in the summer....

I would just open with window, shout turn that bloody music of and have some consideration for your neighbours and shut the window

You can complain to your local council and they'll get a letter (which won't give away who made the complaint). It might not work but worth a try - you've got nothing to lose. My neighbours are similar. They are fine now but last year March - June was really awful, bad nights multiple times a week so I empathise.

I do sympathise I add. I had to move our guest bedroom to the front of the house as when DD visited she couldn’t have the window open because of the fires and the noise.

It does make you feel on edge and it can take over as you find yourself listening for it. Absolutely try the council and see what they can do.

Report online as having a party.

Every single time.
Before lockdown ends.
