Music during the day time?

[havalina]

Every fecking time there is the slightest hint of sun, my lovely neighbours take it upon themselves to blast out "cheesiest 80's" or "chaviest dance". I live in a U shaped block of flats with me and neighbour being opposite tips of U with wide expanse of grass inbetween. Am I being unreasonable to be annoyed by this? I can't open my windows or sit outside without being acoustically accosted by Celine Dion or Nicklewankyback.

I am not against her playing music but why the fuck should I have to listen to it, feel sorry for the people above and around her. I was going to send dp go over and have a word, but as it isn't all the time or at night etc I'm not sure if I'm being unreasonable. Why do people have to play music at such a volume? I would never dream of subjecting random people to my weird eclectic tastes. Hmmph don't really want to go through the summer dreading seeing the slightest flicker of sun.

If it was good music I'd say you are being unreasonable, but as she obviously has no taste YANBU. If I where in your situation I'd just play my music even louder to drown out the crap

But I can't as I only have my weedy PC speakers . Goes off to investigate sub woofers? is that the right word lol

I spent all day lying in my garden, music playing.

Never occurred to me that the neighbours might be bothered? during the day, really?

Our neighbours used to have music blaring all day whenever it was nice, all weekdays and all weekends too. If your neighbours are out in their garden you'd probably turn it down out of consideration, our neighbours didn't give a shit, even turning their music up to drown out ours.

I don't think they are! They come over for chats and things, or wave and say hello. If it was at night I could understand, but during the day? I don't moan when there bloody lawnmowers are going at 9am.. live and let live.

Maybe I am lucky, I have nice neighbours.

Maybe. But I really don't think they mind! Its not exactly blaring, and its decent music. Also we are good friends with most of the neighbours.

Try asking your neighbours politely to turn it down, if it's loud. Otherwise, bear in mind that listening to music in daytime hours is not that much of a crime and your opinion of their taste is your problem, not theirs.

Its annoying at any time of the day or night to subject anyone else outside your house, with music. Its not on, its not fair. Ir really p's me off too. Anti-social.

Fine, play music at a level that you can happily listen to it, it really doesn't need to be loud, and audible to everyone that lives ear to you! Its a HUGE bug bare of mine too.

My new neighbour up stairs plays her music in one room, ad is i the other, at the opposite end of the flat, so i'ts loud for her to be able to hear it. She even plays music I like, BUT, i don't want to listen to it second hand, I don't want to hear it blastig out, so I can't hear my tv or radio, or even just sitting quietly with DD in the garden, playing. SO, it makes no difference at all if its good or bad music, music you love, or hate, its still an annoyance, every time.

YANBU. at all!!

Thats the problem I don't care if they listen to music but it is so fucking loud. I mean if they step into there houses it must deafen you.

I don't understand why you have to listen to music so loud, DSM your friends come over for chats etc, there are several people in the neighbourhood that are not your friends and don't pop over for chats, they count too.

we have the same neigbours - the birdy song - am not even shittin' ya.

what it says is - "FUCK YOU my needs and wants are better than yours LISTEN TO THIS "

i wouldnt dream of putting on metallica at full blast becuase i like it

i realise that other people dont and other people have a fucking right to be outside too.

I dunno the communal area is supposed to be used by everyone, but it's not, it's used by one lady and her cronies. They sit outside the moment the sun comes out and blare music, sit there drinking or whatever. 90% of people sit inside and put up and shut up, fair?

They are not my 'friends'. They live in my street, thats all. They are nice, I am nice, we chat. Say hello, bit of friendly neighbourly chat. Not 'friends'.

And I already said, I don't blare it out, however it would be able to be heard as we live in a very quiet area.

I really can't believe that people object to music being played on a hot sunny day! Live a little!

Pardon?

Exactly Custardo, I wouldn't want to drown her music out with mine. Whenever I do listen to music out loud I have it at a volume that I can hear but wouldn't bother others. I don't want to invade peoples lives with my music, the bloke upstairs does nights ffs.

I am in a council flat, they are pretty shithot on unsociable behaviour though.

I like nickleback.

I don't mind being able to hear it slightly DSM. It's pervasive though and excessive, I have quite a distance between her and me, but with my window open I can't hear my radio/tv.

I dunno I really think dhe's just an ignorant shit, no comment on your volume.

I was just using nickleback as an example lol I'm sure they are good for a generic poodle haired grunge band

I think you lot are picking on dsm a bit. I agree that playing music outside is a bit inconsiderate on those who might not want to listen to music, of any kind. But dsm has said that hers is not blaring out. To call her selfish, self-centred and ignorant is getting far too personal. dsm has been the epitome of politeness so far on a thread where most of the posters are telling her she is being rude - yet it is they who are being rude.
