Ignore or go round and tell them to STFU 🤬

[ineedastrongercoffee]

It’s 1.30am (but actually 2.30am) next door but 1 has been having a party for hours, music literally could make the floors vibrate.

I’m currently up with a poorly 3.5 year old trying to get her to go back to sleep. It’s really grating on me now. I’ve just opened the back door and Kanye west gold digger is blasting out. Never normally get any problems with neighbours

so should I:-

YANBU - go around and politely tell them to shut the fuck up

YABU - just ignore it, it’s super annoying but doesn’t happen often (this is probably what I’ll do but I’m so pissed off)

That's not on blasting music at this time. Not unreasonable to say something to them

C. Report them to the Police, who now have to investigate noise complaints, so don't be fobbed off.

Very selfish neighbours, they shouldn’t be playing music this late. I would probably speak to them tomorrow about it. Hope your little one feels better soon.

I’d definitely go around

Do you know them, get on with them normally? If you do then I'd go round and point out that it isn't on. If you don't know them I'd ring the police as I could not be arsed getting into a concert with drunk strangers about how unreasonable they were being.

Music stopped around 3am (actually 4am)

I don’t know how the neighbours at all but we’ve been here 9 years and I’ve no clue who lives there - we live on a very main road and the houses have quite long drives so we don’t tend to bump into each other.

I feel like going around this morning and just continually banging on the door

I’m all for having a good time but for music to be that loud going on until 3am is just so out of order

I would have the kids banging the walls and shouting as loudly as they can this morning!

I seriously hope you were all up early and very, very loud this morning.

I've always found the best revenge in noisy neighbours has been to reciprocate the next morning from 7 am.

Are you sure about this? I don’t think that’s the case. It certainly shouldn’t be.

Play kids music v loudly it's acceptable at this time.

Missing the point maybe, but the clocks have gone back and not forward so the music stopped at 2am not 3am.

I wouldn't go round unless you know the neighbours incase they're aggressive with you when under the influence. Best thing to do is ring the police when it's happening, they have to investigate noise complaints. If it starts to happen regularly then I'd also report to environmental health who can look into it longer term as well and contact the landlord. Hopefully it's just been a one off for Halloween. Hope your little one is feeling better soon!

Everyone suggesting revenge noise, normally I'd agree, but the OP says it was next door but one - so it sounds like there's an innocent house in between that would be getting noise from both sides if she does that!

I hope you were vaccuming at 7 am op.

‘C. Report them to the Police, who now have to investigate noise complaints, so don't be fobbed off.’

good luck getting the police to give a shiny shit. We couldn’t get them To come around when we’d been robbed. Or when our car was stolen.
They quite literally don’t care.

'Call the Police to instigate' Investigate what? A one off house party on the weekend before Halloween. Annoying, and made worse with a poorly child but hey worth calling the Police.

well actually my clock on my phone had already gone back - actually saw it happen 😂 so 3am was actually 4am!!

I think I might need a diagram to explain how we are set out, honestly me hoovering at 7am would have precisely zero impact on them. I’m on a corner of 2 major roads, and the way the road bends means that our back gardens are relatively close together but our front doors/houses are really quite far apart.

If it’s a one off I’d leave it, they probably had a halloween party.

If it was a regular occurrence then I’d definitely report to the council/police, not sure about police dealing with noise complaints but if they do then I’d definitely complain if it was happening all the time.

if it was bothering me that much I’d maybe leave a note saying next time they have a party to please pre-warn the neighbours and turn down the music by midnight as you have small children and found it particularly hard given one of the children was unwell and couldn’t settle with the noise.
