Letter from HA about loud music?

[autumnbeee]

So basically I received a letter from my HA about loud music causing a disturbance to other residents here.

I am the only one who received it.

I suspect my NDN reported me as I don't think who else it could be?

Surely they could have just left a polite note or approached me?

I assume this will be on my file now?

I too wouldn't be waving like a loon or trying to be friends with my CF neighbour who thinks we ALL want to listen to their music!

So, are you going to keep it down?

It's anti social behaviour to play music that can clearly be heard by other people .That's possibly why your neighbour doesn't want to engage with you.

So you’re playing loud music outside with explicit lyrics?

I don’t understand why you’re annoyed. It sounds like you did this thing you’re being accused of doing.

So stop doing it.

So loud and offensive and you wonder why people find you difficult to approach.

This is your Damascus moment.

OP why the fuck do you think your neighbours want to hear your music?
Keep it indoors or wear earbuds or headphones FFS.

I'm not surprised your neighbour ignores you - you are rude and ignorant.

Just because nobody else has admitted receiving a similar letter doesn't mean you are the only person to get one. Regardless, your music has probably disturbed quite a few of your neighbours so be more considerate.

Why on earth would you play music in the garden?

How selfish.

I had a neighbour like you. Playing music in his garden. On the end he was evicted.

Selfish inconsiderate anti social behavior.

Do the locals a favor. Just stop it.

You don’t seem sorry?

do you play loud sweary music??

Honestly, if you couldn't see that you were being unreasonable about this, I think you're selfish.

Wear headphones.

Your neighbours don't want to hear your music or listen to offensive lyrics.

I'm not surprised your neighbour avoids you.

Listening to music outdoors is really antisocial, sound carries a long way especially at quiet times. If you stop doing it, hopefully that will be the end of the problem.

Yes it is a nuisance. Your poor neighbours. I hope you reflect and put headphones on in future but I worry that you still think this is ok to ruin everyones peace.

So weird isn't it.
Neighbour doesn't want to he friends with the person playing loud, inappropriate music, in their garden. When they have kids and probably assume you're an ignorant aggressive person.
I'm as confused as you...

Your neighbours shouldn't have to approach you to tell you to turn your music down.

You should be considerate and think about the level of the music you are playing.. play it at a level that you can hear but your neighbours can't or put some headphones on.

If you are playing music which contains foul, misogynistic or racist language, zero sympathy.

Don't play music in your garden. No reasonable person I knows ever has. Self-obsessed, classless, chaotic folk do.

Stop playing music in the garden and you won’t get anymore.

They are not wasting the Housing Association's time. Dealing with antisocial tenants is part of their management responsibilities.

The OP isn't coming across as someone who would act reasonably if a complaint had been made direct.

My neighbour used to play loud music late at night. When he got a letter from the council he complained to me that "all you had to do was knock on my door and ask". Yep, all I had to do was go out in the middle of the night, in my pyjamas and knock on a strangers door.

Turn your music down. It isn't your neighbour's responsibility to inconvenience herself to let you know how to behave.

This? People don’t want to hear it!

There are properties near me where the residents play music with thumping bass all day, or they blast 90s cheese out the window. I wouldn’t approach them as surely they must know it’s not reasonable, and they don’t give a shit. I would also be worried about a reaction. Thankful I don’t hear it so much in my house.

Just get some headphones.

What utter rubbish.

All sorts of people live in HA accommodation encompassing a wide spectrum of needs amongst them. To say there's "an expectation" to speak directly to a problem neighbour rather than go through the proper channels of the HA is as irresponsible as it is untrue and could cause someone reading such nonsense and believing it genuine anxiety.

Instead of criticising the neighbours who reported you what you should be doing is reflecting on the fact that you have been causing nuisance with your loud music.

Your neighbour don't owe you any kind of 'courtesy' in this case.

You created the problem through your lack of consideration for others.

Stop being so entitled.

This 100%! The person is clearly an ignorant, selfish idiot. Id assume aggressive too.

Why should other people (who also want to relax in their garden) have to listen to your music. Get headphones, it's not hard.
