Neighbours having a karaoke party

[ffsmyheadhurts]

The neighbours directly behind us have been having a karaoke party since about 6pm. It’s been fine up until now, and it’s suddenly ramped up a notch and they’re drunkenly screaming. We can hear it with the window closed, but it’s too hot to have the window closed anyway!

My partner has just had surgery and we both hoped to get some decent sleep tonight but it’s not going to happen now, is it?!

Every so often the microphone screeches with feedback too. AIBU to go around and say something?

Has a near neighbour got a long garden hose?

Do you have a garden hose that would reach. Time to water your garden 😁😂

With that attitude, I'd be calling the police on them now.

I’ve heard three or four people yelling out now. And each time they’ve turned the microphone louder and shouted down it.

I’m not saying it’s right - but I don’t blame them - who tells their neighbours to quieten their gathering down at 11pm on a Saturday night?

I don’t think the police would be able to help as there’s quite a visible campaign on social media about a missing lady that’s critically unwell, so they’re probably all tied up with that. It’s just doing my head in

People who want to sleep? It’s not just sitting outside talking, it’s drunken screaming down a microphone which is amplifying it massively. I’d estimate that from my bedroom window to where the party seems to be is at least 100m, if not 150, and it sounds like they’re inside our room

the more they drink the louder it will get, it’s horrendous. This is another reason to hate the summer. Try to switch off OP difficult i know.

Still worth a call though, you never know, if there's a unit nearby, they may well respond.

It’s still going. My SIL has offered to bring us earplugs because she’s awake as she’s breastfeeding but I feel awful asking that of her. I just wish people could be a little more conscientious of others

I really don’t think midnight is unreasonable in a Saturday night, and the standard of the singing is a bit irrelevant!

It depends on your noise laws. Where I am 10pm is the limit.

What time did it end OP? My husband would have gone round there (obviously yours couldn't because he was recovering) some people are beyond selfish.

There's a woman i see on Facebook who does this. She has a PA set up in her garden and just parties out there. Rough as fuck.

Midnight is an appalling time to be making noise nuisance.

I feel like you could be my neighbours- the ones at the bottom of the garden had a party that started at 2pm and descended into very loud karaoke (starting with Sweet Caroline).

They went past midnight. Thankfully we havw long gardens and efficient windows...

Outside!!!! Absolutely not.

Totally OTT reaction OP. Sounds like a one off. I live in a really quiet neighborhood and would be very pissed off being told to quieten down at 11pm on a Saturday night.

Cut your grass 6am for them to enjoy.

My NDNs know if they keep us awake with their socialising til 2am then we put our TV on 6am sharp on a Sunday. We were consistent with it. They no longer pull that crap. It's the only language some folk understand.

Hope your DH feels better soon.

It's why my TV on the party wall with my neighbours goes on at full volume 6am sharp on a Sunday if they pull any crap Saturday night into the small hours.

F*cking with people's sleep is not on.

I think all the neighbours should be singing at full volume outside these people’s front door about now.

In the fucking garden??? Good grief! Selfish knobs everywhere. If we had people round for bbqs etc. we would probably take it indoors at 10pm and carry on.

I have a fucktard neighbour that did this regularly, touchwood things have been quiet for a while.
Used to turn it off at midnight when his girlfriend and kids lived there, but she left him after one too many beatings.
Every Saturday night blaring into the early hours until one night I snapped and went hammering on his door at 2am telling him to shut up. TBF he turned it off.
The following Saturday he was doing it again. I couldn't face dragging myself out of bed, I'd probably have got myself arrested, I was so mad.
It finally went quiet at 4.30 am.
Found out later that day that some other neighbours had rang the local club and pub at around midnight thinking that one of them had a really loud band on, asking them to turn it down because it was keeping their young children awake.
Sod that attitude of "it's Saturday night/ people are awake/ it's a one off".
Not everyone has the luxury of a Sunday lie in.

They shouldn't be doing the karaoke in the garden. Should be inside and yes it is selfish and inconsiderate even on a Saturday night. What about young children who are in bed asleep. People just don't care.

Every Saturday night blaring into the early hours until one night I snapped.

The difference here is that OP said that their neighbours/neighbourhood are usually quiet.

Lots of people will say you are being unreasonable, that your neighbour has every right to disturb you and every other neighbour in a half mile radius (more by the sounds of them screeching like demented seagulls).

They are inconsiderate and antisocial. Hopefully one of your other neighbours will lose their shit and tell them to stfu. It happened near us. People came out is their houses and applauded. The offenders moved shortly after.
