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!!

Few weeks ago I had music on inside. Nice levels, m
Imho bit too up, but fine. Then I went just outside through open french door and heard nothing. Made me relise how the volume is difficult to gess when you are by it. And how loud some people have to have it inside that even neigbours outside can clearly hear it. I honestly stood just like 3 m (1.5 in and 1.5 out approx) away from Missy Knowitall and could barely hear a sound.

I always wear headphones in the garden

Yes - listen to your music, in your garden at a volume just for your ears.

It's the morons who play their music in their garden loud enough that every body else has to listen to that music whether they want to or not.

Why the hell does anybody think that's acceptable. I imagine they are the same people who think their kids can wreck havoc in the neighbour hood too - because they live there and it's their neighbourhood. Morons.

Every warm weekend day our 3 neighbours: - put their screaming toddlers out at 7.30am. Now their lawn. Work loudly on their multiple care with a mechanic mate. Jet wash for 3 hours straight. Beep car horns coming and going with 3 teenagers. Electrically trim trees and bushes for the day. Every damn time. People are shits. The end.

200ft gardens, neighbours sit the house end and BLAST crap music through two RIDICULOUSLY massive speakers they’ve had installed outside.
My walls actually shake and we can’t hear each other even with all the doors and windows shut on a sweltering day.

Better than their open window grunting sex noises in the mid afternoon I suppose.

There is always some form of noise going on - one neighbour is keen on DIY, we all have friends over, play music, laugh out loud have noisy grandchildren around, have parties until 2am. It is part of life.and they dont mean harm. I have seen some neighbours from hell on a television programme once and that puts it into perspective. As long as it is not a regular thing I say live and let live ❤

That sounds like noisy hell.

Well, let people sleep if it's past midnight then. Don't be a prick.

"Live and let live", the phrase only used by the sort of people who think having parties til the early hours is ever acceptable.

What is Christian easy listening music???

@nannykatherine stuff like Matt Redman.

It’s like Norah Jones, Eva Cassidy etc but all about God and Jesus.

Good advice.

Watching 'neighbours from hell' doesn't put things in perspective at all.

Realising most people live amicably side by side, respect their neighbours rights to enjoy their homes too, keep their children and pets in order, do DIY at reasonable times etc puts things in perspective.

Anybody who doesn't live like that is on the wrong side of normal.

Fucking hell, I’m really glad I don’t live near you. You sound like a nightmare. Do you have a trampoline? I bet you do.

And a hot tub. Both right next to the neighbours house but as far away from her own as possible.

Yanbu...the man who practiced his recorder ( badly) throughout lockdown drove dd demented!

I constantly see threads like this, I am trying not to be dramatic when I say that highlighting this sort of inconsiderate behaviour should have it's own 'day' ala world mental health day. I don't care if it's off before bedtime it's the friggin volume. Just turn it down. When the dear government finally introduce 24/7 drone surveillance I want them on this issue and the 'look we got a marquee in the garden' house a street away who think it is OK to impose their crappy 'best 90s ministry hits' bass thud compilation on the whole neighborhood at ear splitting, window shattering, bum hair curling volume each time they have an excuse to par tee. I actually am not exaggerating at all when I say the last event was as loud as the dance tent at glasto but relocated in a sleepy suburb. Worse was when the music went silent and left the sqwarks of the toad human revellers to be heard before the MC cut in with an 'oi oi oiiii'. Go to a fucking club. Or have one of those silent discos. I don't care if it's your 50th birthday, or if you just got promoted to chief bellend. Just fuck off.

For me it would really depend on how often it’s happening. I could forgive it every now and again or on an occasion but not every day.

Music in gardens isn't on. Unless it's a rare party or special event.

Put some lil Kim on loudly ... the hardcore album should make them get the hint 😊

When I asked my neighbour to turn the music down at 10 pm and had woken my kids, I had a delightful mouthful of abuse. ”I'll live my life however the f@@k I line and you cant tell me what to do”. I genuinely think these people don't care about anyone but themselves and #livingmybestlife.

They don't.

Absolutely spot on, User.

Feel your pain too, its so very rude, in the days of head phones, i pods ect its not necessary for everyone to have to listen to it. But if having a party and its an every now and then situation i could bite my lip.
Take a CD round and say if i must listen to your music can you play something i like!

@ARabbitisaBunny

I feel your pain! Over the last year, our neighbours have started playing music whenever they sit in their garden. They’ve lived here for years and so this is a new, surprising turn of events. A couple of weeks ago, they were playing Paloma Faith’s ‘Only Love Can Hurt Like This’ at full volume on a lovely sunny, Sunday afternoon and I felt quite murderous. There’s only so much Olly Murs, James Morrison and Alexandra Burke on a loop that people can be expected to tolerate. I’ll definitely go round the next time it starts up so it’ll either get better, or much, much worse!

This would annoy me because that is such shite music.

Why does everyone object to people enjoying themselves in their own garden - its daytime for goodness sake. Go and live in the country if you don't like neighbour noise

Because you're not enjoying yourself IN your garden, you're inflicting your 'taste' of music on others, if you want to listen to music put head phones on.

I’d be putting some AC/DC on or sabbath and then turn it up.
