Party warning from neighbours

[partyondoon]

NC.
Someone who lives on the road at the back of us has posted a note through the doors of the neighbouring properties with a party noise warning on it. It seems nice to warn us of a sleepless night due to their disco marquee scheduled to end around 2am but it also seems a bit like we've told you there's a big party so you can't complain. No one on this road knows them (v small quiet road) so it's quite bemusing to get these notes. Is this a thing to do? ASD adult and dc here and we don't understand party etiquette very well.
Sorry for posting here btw. I do know that it can be frowned up.

Is this a regular thing or a one off?

If it's a one off I think it's fine.

I warn next door neighbours with children only, but include that they can text us if music too loud. We never go past midnight and it’s only once a year. I personally think loud music past midnight is rude in a quite neighbourhood.

We host two parties per year and always pop an advance courtesy note to the neighbours either side to make them aware. We are model neighbours (their words) the rest of the year so they don’t mind or complain.

I’d say this is quite common and polite, gives you some warning to get the ear plugs in etc.

It would have to be quite extreme for me to complain about party noise as a one off event.

If the same person was frequently doing this and I found the noise disruptive I might consider complaining.

Its a nice thing to do really i mean I warned my neighbours that I was having a flock of children over for my daughter's party the one lady said ahh such a shame im off out that afternoon enjoy yourself it was all over by the time she got home but it was a kindness because I hated listening to them screaming for fucking hours no way would I inflict it upon my neighbours too

As they have gone to the effort to warn you, I’m assuming this is a rare occurrence or one off. If so, I’d either plan to be away that night or just accept it’ll be noisy.

even if its a one-off, I'm not sure its acceptable to be having a party to 2am + wind-down time.

What night is it on?

Warning you doesn’t exempt them from following your local noise ordinances.
Did they include a contact number so you can let them know if they are bothering you past whatever hours are set at in your location?

If it's not a regular thing then let them enjoy their night.

Although I think midnight would be more appropriate.

I'd contact the Local Authority & ask if loud noise until 02.00 is allowed. It probably isn't.

Doesn't matter that they've put a note through your door, anything after 11pm is antisocial. I think, if it showed no signs of dying down by midnight, I'd report them. 2am is incredibly inconsiderate.

It’s polite and if it’s a one off then please don’t complain

Very courteous and polite (normal in the south east)

I'm not sure what the problem is. They've done the decent thing and warned you in advance of a noisy party.

I have no intention of complaining. We'll be out until around 11 that night and then I plan on white noise for the dc and ear plugs for me. I've never received a note like this and just wondered if it's a thing.

It's pretty normal to do that and keeps neighbours sweet. They know in advance if they're going to have a late night or get the earplugs ready I preparation for noise and the party is less at risk of ending early due to complaints.

Normal and courteous.

A note like that wouldn't really help a lot of people as it's not so easy to just go out if you're elderly, have small kids or work shifts so that you have work the next morning.

2am is incredibly late and the noise will travel quite far. There are occasionally posts in the local Facebook group about noisy parties and people many streets away can hear it.

Still, a one-off is a bit better than a regular thing.

It's so you can make plans if you need to. Go out for the evening. Personally i'd go and stay at my mums for a night or two since i'd rather miss out on all that noise

It's good they've given some notice.

I thought it was polite to let neighbours know the day of the party and give your number incase it's getting too loud for them or to invite them to join. But several days in advance is much better.

Once or twice a year and getting prior notice I don’t mind. People have life’s and things to celebrate and they are clearly decent enough to let neighbours know in advance. Treat yourself to a night in a hotel!

It's normal around here and polite. It means you can be prepared with things like white noise etc.

I’d send a note like that but also include an invitation to the neighbours - you’re welcome to come over far a drink.

It’s good manners. People who are able to can plan to be out or away for the night and those who have to put up with it may feel less bothered by it because they know what it is. I would definitely find this reassuring. Rather than worry that we had acquired some new, noisy neighbours, I would relax in the knowledge that it was a one-off.

It’s polite of them but definitely think 2 is too late.
