Hi,
Just a bit of advise needed on the above!
We moved into our flat about 10 months ago and have had this problem with our neighbour the entire time and it’s driving me insane! To the point I can’t even sit in the lounge now, because I can just hear his radio (radio 4) on constantly.
I originally popped a note through his door and just mentioned we could hear his radio/tv loudly and he said he would keep it down and apologised. Everything was fine for a few weeks and then it started to creep up again and for a couple of months I put up with it every evening/weekend (in lockdown too - so we literally couldn’t get away from it!).
I then text him again and he was so apologetic and said to always let him know if it gets too loud. Went quiet again for a few weeks and now it’s back on full volume. On Saturday we had to sit in the bedroom and watch tv, because the noise was too much in the lounge.
He’s a really nice older man (not elderly) and we have a good relationship with him. I don’t want to keep backwards and forwards because I just feel a bit mean. He lives alone and maybe the radio is his bit of company. He does have a huge house, all to himself though...he could literally take his radio into any other room, or move it away from the wall that joins to ours at least.
It really is starting to ruin my weekends and evenings (since we aren’t going out a lot at the mo). I dread sitting down on the sofa and hearing it and even considering moving. I’ve bought a white noise machine, and you can hear his radio over that.
I think it’s made worse by him and us being in nearly 24/7.
Sorry if there is already a thread similar!
Thanks x
