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

[Xmasdread22]

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.

It's once a year. I'm in bed too and have been since 10. Do what is within your own power to block out any noise (stick white noise on your phone not be on mumsnet) and try to relax.

They’re enjoying a party. You’ll sleep another night…

What's Scottish got to do with it?

Tell me you live in a bubble

I have to put up with competitive fireworks, and it’s not immediate neighbours. Who has the loudest firework that they can send the last. One year they were still going at 1:15.

@Sisterpita ridiculous isn't it!

@BananaSplitsss same.

@Xmasdread22 With all due respect its new years one persons thats loud is another persons thats quiet, i can see your point but its Ny

Are you fir real?

There's always 1!

You really can’t go knocking on peoples doors telling them to be quiet at half 12 on NYE. Dont be ridiculous.

Thankfully they've quietened down now

Who said I am setting off fireworks .. The sound from them can come from afar. How’s that fair to your direct neighbours to blare out music for your dog in the early hours. 🙄

I really don’t think you can ask neighbours to be quiet tonight. Not at any time. Can you put earphones in and go to also sleep with music or an audiobook?

@BananaSplitsss totally agree with your point here. Really not fair on neighbours. I have pets but wouldn't do this!

Must be lush not have to work a 12 hour shift in 4 hours with neighbours blasting music through the walls but it's NY 😒

It all turned to shit on 1999's NYE when idiots introduced fireworks and they've been going every year since. I think the gales and heavy rain have dampened them here, thankfully. All is quiet.

I don’t think NYE is the time to pick this battle.

I live in a cottage flat also known as a four in a block and my downstairs neighbour is having a party. Last time she did this it was still going on at 4am so breathe a sigh of relief your not here.

The neighbours have had the same hours and hours of very loud fireworks that we have and music is to drown them out. Or they'd just hear the barking anyway. Either way, there's noise.

It’s new years!

@flawlessandfearless oh god barking would do my head in. I feel sorry for your neighbours if their choice is between barking or loud washing machine and loud music.

Surely it’s the one night of the year you tolerate people being a bit louder than usual? I think YABVU to ask them to quieten down tonight.

You can't ask them to pipe down on NY, it's unreasonable. I say this as someone with a very low tolerance for other folks noise and their general lack of consideration for people around them.

@Applebottomjeans3 I decided on quarter to one as a deadline and they're quiet now so I won't knock on.

Oh my god, are you always this thick?

None of this would be needed if we hadn't had fireworks all night.

I'd be fine with 20 mins around midnight but not 6 hours. My very old dog is barking because she's distressed. I can't stop her. Training, exposure, drugs, blankets, shirts, soothing wipes, toys, food. Nothing has worked. She's a rescue and very nervous.
