Neighbours having their own Glasto this evening

About 4 houses along on the adjoining road (our back gardens join on to each other) are having their own version of Glastonbury this evening. They have a music system set up and a DJ. Bizarrely, I can’t hear the sounds of partying / people as such.

it is ridiculously loud and I can’t even have a conversation in my back garden without shouting.The gardens are tiny, only about 10m x 20m so it is less than 50m away.

I have all my windows shut and can still hear it perfectly in every room.

my only hope is that they started at 6.30pm so maybe it’ll finish early. [clutches at straws]

I accept it is a 1 off, and don’t mind the occasional party, but the noise levels are totally inappropriate for the middle of a residential area whatever time of day it is. There are kids around trying to get to sleep now, and they’ll have no chance. .

I can’t even give up and dance to it, as it is shit european folky stuff. Lots of wailing and accordions and the like.

I rang 101 for advice, and they gave me the local out of hours number for the council, but the answerphone message said they were closed when I called them.

aibu for being really pissed off - not at the party as such - just the ridiculously loud music?

Im not ignoring someone got punched im pointing out that op rang the police 2 hrs prior to that. I also not saying it wasnt loud. What i am saying is I dont agree with you I'm would have no issues with my neighbours having a one off party if it was every night until 2/3 am I would have an issue. But your point blank saying you cant do anything if your neighbours think its inconsiderate and im pointing out some people find anything and everything inconsiderate.

But that you and not the OP.

So people are never allowed to have parties or bbq or let their kids play outside because it might annoy the neighbours

Yes, that’s exactly what everyone is saying.

It’s just the same as everyone must sit in utter silence on the bus rather than listen to podcasts on their headphones because some arseholes blast out music.
