Lovely day, neighbours playing music in garden

[WilsonMilson]

Live in a detached house, so it’s not as though we have anyone too close, and reasonable sized gardens, but we do have other houses around us, so don’t expect silence.

Neighbours over the back are in their garden as it’s a lovely day, fair enough so are we, but they have also got their music playing. Loudly.

Aibu to think it’s the height of rudeness to have music blaring in the garden knowing full well others around can hear it too? It’s Christian easy listening type of music.

Tempted to put a bit of Motörhead on the Sonos, but that would be a bit passive aggressive. So I’m just stewing in silence and posting here instead - it’s certainly not making me feel very Christian!!

I think during the day people can do what they want in their gardens. It’s only really annoying if very late at night and it’s keeping people awake.

If you feel you want to put on your own music, go ahead, it’s your garden.

i feel your pain.

It’s rude and inconsiderate.

ask them how long will they play that music that you have headache or child sleeping.

Headphones any use to you?
I have very very quiet neighbours except next door who's a childminder and the noise can get ridiculous (but can't be helped) my headphones are always ready charged now.

But I know that my feelings on this do not correlate with most people on mumsnet 😂

Feeling your pain op, but I dont think anything can be done unless it is deafeninly loud.
We've had the new neighbours a few doors away blasting music all day yesterday until midnight last night - normally it till the early hours

Oops DH is outside with his friend laying a new patio with music playing I don’t think it’s rude it’s just as annoying as our local church bells chiming every hour of the local school kids playing out we have two within 100 metres
Put some headphones in or go inside

It is rude and inconsiderate and I could have written your post. The trouble is, some people think that their wants trump other people's. They want to listen to music so they'll do it - and it's never at a low volume.

Some people are just twats

I’m listening to a screeching competition one side where the neighbours GDs are in the paddling pool and the other side constant yapping on dogs reacting to the screeching, I’m tempted to turn Michael Ball R2 up to full volume just to drown it all out.

Tell them it is a bit loud, ask them to turn it down. From your description not something with foul language or misogyny or other forms of hatred, so just about the noise level.

You need to go and live in the middle of nowhere, OP. I expect you’d complain about the birds singing then.

I HATE it when people play music loudly in the garden. Hate it. Yeah fair play out a bit on for your own amusement in your own garden, but there is absolutely no need for everyone to hear. It’s so rude.
One of our neighbours does it and it gives me the rage!

Ah I feel your pain, my neighbour is the same. Plus whenever she sees someone outside she has to start showing of, screeching and singing at the top of her voice. I was outside yesterday with my headphones on just to block her out a bit. We've got a driveway between us but for her attached neighbours on the other side it must be a nightmare.

I think it’s incredibly selfish.

I’ve got no problem with most other garden noise, kids playing, lawn mowing, DIY, dogs. These are just noises from using the garden. But sticking music on in the garden knowing neighbours can hear it is really just saying sod everyone else.

You could ask them to turn it down, unless they're dick heads then I'm sure they will.

I don't do this (though I'll very rarely play music inside, loud enough to hear from my garden but not loud to neighbours).

It depends what kind of neighbour they are generally. If this is a one-off I'd find it annoying but would shrug it off, if it stops at a reasonable hour. If they're the type of selfish arsehole who blasts music every time the sun is out, I'd get much more wound up.

I feel your pain. It’s very unsocial when half the village can hear it. Neighbour in the next street starts his disco at 7:30am ish when it’s nice. Don’t know how his immediate neighbours cope.

It is selfish to play music that can be heard outside your property. It is not for the op to put up with just because others live nearby.

Wear headphones or go inside with your music.

Its is the Lords day, we should rejoice and be thankful for the beautiful day he has given us.

Join in with their music, praise be sister

I live in a block of flats and at 3am for the past week I’ve been woken up by people having sex! The banging the ooohhhhh yessss the groaning.... last about 10 minutes!!!!

Wankers.

Saying that, there used to be an older gentleman up the road from me who'd listen to 50s rock and roll as he tinkered with his motorbike. It always made me smile, more so when his old mates would come round on their bikes too.

We’ve currently got three neighbours battling it out for the loudest outdoor music award. One house has a barbecue and plays music every weekend day, even when raining (they have a covered area).

Put speaker/music at the rear of your garden, baby shark on repeat, go out for lunch for a few hours.
That'll get the message across
