To get “Revenge” on Neighbours

Nextdoor’s children are “shriekers”, over the top girls (aged 10 and 6) who scream, whine and yell all day long. This afternoon they have been playing and arguing so loud we can hear them over all 4 floors of our house. It’s particularly bad in the living room and they are so loud we can hear them over the television.
It’s constant and annoying.
No SEND, they are just brats whose parents don’t install any boundaries.

AIBU to therefore stream Cardi B’s unedited version of W.A.P to my television and blast it out, repeatedly, at ear splitting full surround sound volume?

WAP? No, some Deftones.

Go for it.
What goes around comes around.

My neighbour used to have blazing rows with her daughter….when daughter wasnt rowing with mum she was playing piano (admittedly amazing player of mozart - but bit annoying when youre trying to watch tv), or partying with her teen mates in garden.
Then… daughter moved out and we had kids and it was 5-10 yrs of babies and tantrums and shreiking in garden, recorder practice, very loud nerf battles…from our side.

We have co-existed through all of this without a cross word ever. Give and take.

Thanks @ShodAndShadySenators. We're in the countryside, though.

I would get someone in to look at soundproofing that side of your house. I had a friend who owned a flat which was ex-council in West London, two flats knocked together to make a big 3 bedroom flat with a separate living room and kitchen /dining room. They had the whole place fitted with sound proofing, ceilings, walls and floors. Literally never heard a thing from the neighbors EVER.

That or move.

Instead of Cardi B, why don’t you record some of the screaming and shouting and play that back? Revenge with a message..

Get some awful noises playing.

Or.....every time they scream op screams back.
Get your friends and family over to join in ....

Oh yes, how witty to be blasting that song to a couple of pre-teens. Be an adult, speak to the parents

LoveSkaMusic · 24/03/2025 11:04

I think you should start learning to play the Tuba.

What sexual content???????

The song that the OP suggested blasting to them is disgusting and sexual

I can highly recommend…………………a chainsaw, or two! Ideally wait until you think parents are having a lie in, then get an urgent need to cut some wood. 😈

Or, tinkling wind chimes under the parental bedroom window, accompanied by a noisy water feature, running water will get them up and trotting to the loo at night. No sign of either of course in the morning😈😈
