Noisy neighbour

Who actually sits in their garden on a Monday night at 11:30 talking so loudly they can be heard 2 doors away?
It's the first summer we've lived here so am not sure if this is going to be regular or not.
Tried shutting the windows but very hot and I can still hear them anyway. Every single word.
Obviously sound carries more at night but they must know that. Can't they sit inside? I have to be up early tomorrow and they are keeping me awake.
I know people will come on and say their garden so they can do what they like but just think it's so inconsiderate.
Very tempted to get up tomorrow and go in the garden with my toddler and make as much noise as possible. I won't because I'm not an inconsiderate twat.
So are they being unreasonable or am I?
YABU it's their garden, suck it up
YANBU they should be quieter when it's late.

I'm in flats and people do this on their balconies

they are absolute wankers.

Get the toddler out at 7am. Do it!

They are just talking. You can’t expect silence. They may work different times to you so it doesn’t make it any better having a toddler making noise at 7am.

If its a one off yabu. If it starts happening regularly you would not be unreasonable to say something (if you feel comfortable) or go to Envronmental Health.
They may not realise how loud they are being so a friendly word or polite note may do the job in the first instance before escalating!

I’m in a flat and shout ‘shut the fuck up’ out of my window when the bloke downstairs from me pulls this crap out in the court yard, it usually works.

There are generally accepted quiet times to which people generally adhere regardless of their work schedules. It's basically never okay to blast music and have a wild party on a Wednesday night at 3am, even if you work graveyard shifts and are off the next day. It's a matter of being considerate of other people, pure and simple.

I think they are selfish OP. I've learnt the hard way some people are just inconsiderate twats but I try not to get into confrontation with neighbours as it seems to make things worse. We occasionally get the same from our neighbours but I sleep with ear plugs in.

It’s very selfish behaviour. Where I live most people are very considerate and life would be intolerable if they were not, as our small terrace houses are so close together. But occasionally there is someone who seems oblivious to the fact that talking loudly in their garden late at night means everyone else is disturbed.

This is our next door neighbour, they're literally outside from 9am to 12pm with loud music, talking and their hothub which is so loud they have to shout over it.
It's everyday from June to September.

No joy bin telling them to be quiet, we are going to have to move to get away from it. To a much smaller house due to mortgage increases.

Frustratingly their council tenants. The last lot before them got evicted for the same thing, these are much worse.

Some people just don't think.

My DH went and spoke to neighbours the other day about noise. They were playing music so loud and the base so brutal that it was making furniture in our house vibrate.

I feel your pain! My next door neighbours are the same - always outside talking and laughing until very late at night, having numerous guests over. There is only 1 room in our house where we can’t hear them when they are inside - shouting, swearing, constant banging and arguing - it is constant. Unfortunately there is no talking to
them as they are just very rude and inconsiderate - their landlord doesn’t want to know about it all as he thinks they are wonderful! We are having to move home because of them. Hopefully it’s just a one off for you to
