about noisy neighbour

[Mamulik]

I was woke up at 4 o?clock in the morning by neighbour who just moved in. wanted to call police because it was so loud, he had TV or radio switched on. So angry and had little sleep.

I think that personally you might consider being a bit cautious when first meeting your new neighbour.

Certainly I feel it is over the top to ring the police (please don't say you were going to ring 999) due to loud noise on one occasion.

It may be that he does not realise the walls are thin/the noise would travel etc.

However in your position I would be feeling angry and exhausted.

Could you pop round with a friendly smile to introduce yourself and welcome him. At least then if the problem recurs you possibly have a chance of speaking to him directly.

From experience it is always best to try and get on with neighbours so yes, YABU, but I understand a little.

I'd be furious if I was woken at 4am but calling the police would be a bit of an over-reaction - why didn't you go round and ask, politely but firmly, if they could turn it down?

Otherwise agree with onepiece, go round and be polite and mention you were woken up and could he/she keep it down in future.

phoning police is bit ott.but id be cross too.if it happens again maybe knock on door and ask if they realise how loud it is.id be wary of holding a grudge though.

Try and talk to them first. I did with my neighbours. I got a face full of abuse back after politly asking if she could turn her music down as my whole flat was shaking.
So then i called police as she was very drunk, couldn't stop swearing and shouting at me and refused to turn music down.

I have called police on another neighbour at 3am though, she was drunk outside in her car, music up full wearing just her undies whilst revving car very loudly. (she has some mental health problems and i was more concerned about her hurting herself in someway rather than her waking me up)

So talk to your neighbours first, if they are unreasonable towards you, or they keep making so much noise at times like that then get in touch with enviromental health service or police.

to edam and cheesesarine I did knock on the door, he never open

then he's a cheeky sod, unless he couldn't hear you over his own noise. But still agree with onepiece, go and introduce yourself and explain how loud his music was in your house/flat.

if you cant catch him to introduce yourself stick note through door saying dont want to be rude but its very loud and waking you and that youve tried knocking.polite and too the point.
