AIBU to ask for suggestions to keep up with the neighbours?

[StayGoldenPonyGirl]

Unfortunately, I do not have:

• 4 daughters under 12 who have dedicated their summer holidays to hourly competitions on who can scream the loudest (and associated rehearsals)

• a super charged motorbike that gets started around 6.30 am, revved a few times then left to idle and splutter for 10 minutes before speeding off the estate

• a partner who walks up and down the street at all hours talking endlessly on speaker phone using his outside voice

• A dog that never gets walked and yaps constantly in the garden from 6am to 11pm

• Teenage sons who have tons of mates that drop them home anywhere between 11pm and 4am and play a few tunes nice and loud with the windows down and always give between 5 and 25 pips of the horn to say bye

So please, tell me, how can I keep up with my neighbours? What should be my thing?

Move

Giant speaker playing Balearic trance night and day?

Move to a deserted island somewhere?? 😁😁 I live on a council estate and the sounds of summer for me are.... screaming kids/teenagers. Barking dogs, motorcycles racing along the pavements and someone, somewhere playing music very very loudly while singing along tunelssly.

Take up learning the bagpies.

I'd go for this and practice badly and loudly in your garage, with the door open wide, at least four times a day!

i think i live on the other side of those noisy bastards from you.

they have no consideration.

i also particularly “enjoy” the youths gaming upstairs with the windows fully open shouting swear words into the headphone’s microphone at full volume.

i “enjoyed” that A LOT during lockdown.

I want to move and am still looking but haven’t seen anything in my price range that i like as yet and still have stuff to fix here first.

Early morning vacuuming.
Wind chimes .
Environmental health about the barking .
Horn beeping is illegal. Non emergency police report .
Radio in the garden. Turn it up when the screaming gets louder..
Turn it down when they go quiet.

Worled a treat training ndn to get his dog to stfu

Whitney Houston kareoke on repeat.

And aye-und-aye-und-aye will alllways lurve yooooooooooouuuuuu.

Get a drumkit. Practice at night.
If you have children, get them home violin/recorder lessons, and encourage lots of garden practice.
Have a party or three. In the garden.

Oh wow - this sounds horrendous - I don’t know where to begin! How many children do they have in total? Do you own your home?

It is a lovely estate in general but the audacity of a few really grates. We do also have the super loud shaggers but they haven't put on a performance lately so all might not be well at number 23.

Bagpipes a great shout- I don't currently have any but I do have an accordion that I am really bad at...

Chinese opera at full volume.

This multiple neighbours! I'm a terrible sleeper so it's the early morning stuff that really gets me- the rest is mostly noise you'd get anywhere but also noise I'd never make or let my kids make!

My heart literally goes out to you - I’m so sorry.

Join a steel band? Practice very seriously of course, but then invite the group round too

Either move or get up at 6am toi do the vacuuming and listen to loud music with the windows open- leave the music on or turn it back on whenever your neighbours kick off.

I have a similar problem with ibiza dance tacks for hours on end in the afternoon. Plus 2am the other day...my wife didn't want me to knock on that door.

So i plan to channel my inner Foul Ol' Ron and talk loudly to my self outside of the offending house "Spying on me. Loud music to send spy waves to the house. Bugger em. I fix that i knows people. I knows people I dos. No more rays in my house....I'd fix they. I've got a lazer"

It works. I recently had a young lady approach me in the pub, I'd popped in for a night cap and to use the loo on the way home she was clearly taking the piss out of the other customers so I calmly told her that none of this had happened yet and it was actually 1955 and I'd heard about a new type of music in America which will be here soon. At that point she quickly sat down.

I can definitely vouch for this. Went to see a show in China. That's 2 hours of my life I'll never get back.☹️

The most horrendous sound is someone starting on the saxophone. OMG!

YES!!!! Brilliant
