Would neighbours playing music in garden annoy you?

[theflinch]

Another neighbour one! Sorry I have read so many this on week on here lol!

For months now my NDN will play loud music in their garden.

Sometimes it is on from noon to 9pm.

Other times until midnight (in the house but I can hear it throughout my house).

I just don't think it's very considerate.

When I had my bins on my own drive she moaned that they were close to her window and complained about "hygiene issues" but the cheeky cow regularly fly tips down the road.

I moved the bins as I wanted to remain neighbourly but somehow she knows I don't like her so her and her OH now keep their distance which is fantastic as I hated her coming up to me and listening to her talk about herself for ages.

Would this annoy you or is my dislike for her overpowering me on this?aubu

I'd hate it. I like to read in my garden, and you can't do that with someone else's loud music playing.

Playing music- it depends how loud and obnoxious the music is. Blaring dance or rap music? Yeah definitely. Normal pop, rock, alternative or classical at a reduced volume? Not so much. I would find someone’s bins near my window especially on hot days, more annoying than music. Sorry.

i feel ur pain, we’ve got bloody karaoke loving alchoholics behind us and the screeching and fighting can go on for hours🙄 add in his feral teens at the weekends and it’s bloody miserable for the rest of us. It’s a council house so everyone’s keeping a noise diary in the hopes of getting them to shut the fuck up

The thing is I moved the bins the same day she mentioned it and I didn't have to as it is on my driveway.

Several neighbours and myself have mentioned it to her a few times now about the music as there are school kids trying to sleep when she has the music on full blast.

I think if people do it for long periods occasionally or regularly but for short periods it’s fine. When it’s constant it’s unreasonable

I’d prefer this to most chart rubbish. Of course it’s unreasonable and also unnecessary to do it though, AirPods exist for a reason.

Yes it does annoy me. One off parties are fine, everyday because the sun is out, no way.

Loud music is very inconsiderate. You’ll need to talk to your neighbour about that. If that does no
good, contact your council about noise nuisance.

Personally I don’t mind hearing others music in the garden, it’s a lot more pleasant than the incessant strimmers and power washers we get around here. I know I’m probably in the minority tho.

Agree.
the occasional builders radio, or music wafting out of a window, fine. Loud music blasting in the garden not fine (unless it’s a very occasional party or celebration).

Yes we have attempted to talk to her but to no avail.

We have been asked to download an app called the noise app and to keep a diary (have done for last few months).

Its just inconsiderate and selfish, especially when people have work and children have school the next day.

Report the fly tipping to the council

Yes! Or start dressing like a goth and play death metal until midnight, with the speaker against the wall… 😂 do it like aversion therapy every time it’s on past 10pm

I'm in Aus, but also had to do The Noise App thing. It was finally sorted via council taking them to court and the court issuing a fine, but I'll never forgive the twat for deliberately disrupting our lives for 18 months.

Every time there is hot weather my neighbours get the bbq out and put on loud music. They usually drunkenly sing (wail like distressed cats) till midnight and beyond. Often they have friends joining then for the bbq and wailing.

It's horrible, can't hear our tv over the racket if our windows or doors are open so have a choice of boil indoors or listen to them for hours.

I've heard people who have tried to speak to them and ask for it to be turned down get shouted and sworn at.

Then another house in the road open their windows and blast music full of profanities as they hang out of the balcony smoking weed.

People can be so selfish. We aren't in a position to move but I regularly day dream about moving to a quiet spot in the countryside.

Since your neighbour is so generous as to share her love of music with you then why not reciprocate? Heavy metal, grand opera, or whatever floats your boat.

Many years ago I was singing along to the radio in my kitchen mid pm saturday. Not a time when you would expect anyone to be in bed. My neighbour in the next flat banged on the wall. I then reciprocated with three hours of Wagner.

She never did it again.

I bloody hate neighbours. The only good one is a dead one.

Report her for fly tipping - just disgusting.

Go round and ask her to turn the music down every time it goes beyond 11pm, when it becomes a legal noise nuisance. If she refuses, keep a video diary and report her to the nuisance team at the council for every infringement.

During the day, it wouldn't worry me too much unless exceptionally loud.

Yes I think it’s inconsiderate.

our NDN plays music and it all has a base beat, I just wish they’d pop on something universal like Elton John or something.

Wow, "Friendly" gingercat, you're a charmer. Some people work shifts you know, and even if she wasn't asleep, your response was hardly proportional.

It’s incredibly selfish to play music outdoors, if others in other houses and gardens can hear it. I wish it was a social taboo that people wouldn’t dream of doing. It should be.

It drives me mad, I absolutely hate it in the summer when neighbours do this. It is so bad it could drive me to violence even though I know it is not the answer but I just hate it so much

It is so selfish, and she is awful to live next door too.

She monitors everything/ everyone and seems to act as if she is the boss of the estate and is all up on everyone's business all the time.

Me and another neighbour are actually moving because of and it has all been noted as anti social behaviour so if she ever wants to be rehoused through the council again it will be all on her file and quite rightfully so.

It’s bloody selfish. WFH and won’t tolerate it. I bet it’s rubbish music as well

Yes it does annoy me. My beighbours are elderly and they turned it down since I mentioned it but it’s still annoying. It’s like they’re saying “we want to listen and we don’t care if you can hear it”. Grates on me and I dream of the day they die!

Funnily enough the selfish old prick is doing it now. I just went out, banged a bit and said “selfish old prick” under my breath. I hope he heard.
