To ask them to be quiet even though it's NYE

Next door are making so much noise that I can hear them through 3 rooms. Live in a flat. I know it's new years but AIBU to knock on and ask them to be quiet please? With all the fireworks making so much noise too, I just want to go to sleep.

Just wait for 10 minutes 😃

ZekeZeke · 01/01/2024 00:08

It's NYE.
Put ear plugs in. If you have non, put your own music on.

randomstress · 01/01/2024 00:09

I'd give it an hour.
I understand it's annoying but it isn't surprising.

Xmasdread22 · 01/01/2024 00:09

@ZekeZeke I don't have any ear plugs and I don't want to put my own music on, I want to go to sleep.

Yeah it's unreasonable to ask people to shut up 7 minutes into a new year.

flawlessandfearless · 01/01/2024 00:10

We'd be quiet but we have the music up very loud along with the washing machine and tumble dryer on to try and drown out the fireworks for our frightened old dog. I expect our neighbours hate us!

Xmasdread22 · 01/01/2024 00:11

Oh god another very close round of fireworks just started

Xmasdread22 · 01/01/2024 00:12

If the neighbours are otherwise nice and it's a once off, then YABU

Well it's tough shit isn't it and the fireworks are probably keeping them up anyway. If the fireworks stop, so can my music. I care more about my poor dog.

PrimalOwl10 · 01/01/2024 00:16

What do you expect op it's nye. Its one night once a year.

Xmasdread22 · 01/01/2024 00:17

Think things might be finally starting to quiet down...everything crossed

@Xmasdread22 chances are they would just put the music up louder etc

So if the close fireworks are going to keep you up then what’s the point of telling neighbours to keep it quiet?

I was tucked up in bed by 10pm but don’t begrudge other people their fun.

You're nae in Scotland then!!

Xmasdread22 · 01/01/2024 00:21

It was a false alarm, more fireworks and more shouting:(

OP posts:
Xmasdread22 · 01/01/2024 00:21

Maybe I'll give it until half past or quarter to one and then go knock on.

Are next door doing the fireworks? Does the flat have a garden or balcony?

WithACatLikeTread · 01/01/2024 00:23

Just stick your head under your duvet. No point risking the wrath of your neighbours.

Xmasdread22 · 01/01/2024 00:23

@WithACatLikeTread no? They're being so loud and it's unnecessary.

Glad you’re not next to me

@BananaSplitsss ditto if you're setting off fireworks.

What's Scottish got to do with it? My tv got turned down when I saw next doors curtains close. It's not difficult to be respectful.

I'm up with a wine, fireworks didn't start til ten past, I suspect from the rural garden estate. So salmon and trout like big boomers or are they quiet the next few days?
