Couple next door but one are in their sixties and in the last few weeks have had "gatherings" in their garden that have gone on until at least 2am. The houses are semi detatched so gardens have shared fences and the houses also back onto other gardens. Before anyone leaps on me, I am all for people having fun but not at the expense of everyone around them. They back onto a house with young children and are direct neighbours to a family with a young child. Today, they started a really noisy party in their gardens at 2pm that appears to have about 30plus people present so despite the babble of noise, singing, shouting etc I thought "Fair enough, it's afternoon, no problem"... It's STILL going on 10 hours later. They are singing and laughing at the absolute tops of their voices, chanting football songs etc. I have had to shut my windows on a warm night and turn the TV up really loud to drown them out. My ds has shut his windows but they can still be heard up there despite that. Ds heard a young child crying no doubt disturbed by the noise. The absolute selfishness of it just gets to me so much. I just want them to give a little bit of thought especially to elderly neighbours /those with children /neighbours in general and maybe have the kindness and intelligence to quieten down now. Aibu?
AIBU?
To think neighbours having parties in their gardens should have some consideration for neighbours?

What you need is Scottish bagpipes record playing really loudly at 7am the next morning! Follow that with brass band music! Both played really loudly and take your phone off the hook and DON'T ANSWER THE DOOR!!! 
I've been unable to have my door open during this heatwave due to my neighbours. Their kids are outdoors from 7am until 9pm every day and the entire family can only communicate by screaming.
The bloke has recently bought himself a crosser which he's never actually taken out on the road, just revs it in the garden by my back door. His girlfriend has only once asked him to stop because of the noise - he said no because, apparently, we have parties until 3am every weekend so he can make all the noise he wants (we've had one party in the 2 years we've lived there - just the 2 of us, during lockdown, on a Saturday, for my birthday, and I enjoyed myself so much I was asleep by 9.30).
I just want to sit in my garden in peace

@Daffodil123456 I recently had a lovely stay at DMs and had that same dread coming back to this too.
