Not my problem but a relative.
They live in a detached house in a naice area where they are used to peace and quiet. New neighbours arrived 2 years ago with 5 adult kids and lots of grandkids. The family descend on their house and garden at any sunny opportunity (within covid guidelines!) and make a lot of noise in the garden - and I mean a LOT. I’ve been round and it's really intrusive.
Now they’ve bought an outdoor table football table and are hosting noisy tournaments almost every day. The gardens are pretty small so it’s really close to my relative's house. It's disturbing them even when they’re inside and affecting working from home.
Relative is fuming about this. They love peace and quiet and formerly had retired neighbours on either side who were the epitome of naice and quiet and considerate. They feel helpless, but tbh I’m not sure that they’ve done anything to address the issues. I suspect they won’t go round and just talk to neighbours, which is a bit 🤷♀️ but also characteristic.
AIBU to ask for your tips on how relative can address the situation? Things they could say that would be polite and friendly but make their point about how intrusive the noise is? I want to try and persuade them to do something about it (rather than just fuming down the phone to me!) but it’ll have to be something really good to make relative get up and actually address the problem.
