You have my sympathy PP... I would hate to have noisy neighbours...

Haven't seen you for ages PP, hope you're well.

As to neighbours - I can't even begin on that subject or I would never stop. I do think that a lot of the escalating stress levels in this country can be linked to the fact that we are living in closer and closer proximity with our neighbours. That combined with bad soundproofing and toothless councils/police etc is a recipe for disaster

If it's going on very night PP you can call the 'noise' people in. Keep a diary as to what's going on 

well, it is a Friday...

Are those the same neighbours who left all their windows open a couple of years ago and you didn't understand why they did that?

I'm so lucky

a. My house is detatched

and 

b. I have lovely neighbours

I really can't imagine how it would be with nightmare neighbours ....................actually I yhink we may well be nightmare neighbours ourselves. Detatched housing is good.

What was the point of your apology the other week?  Every time I have dared to post since then you have done nothing but make sarcastic comments - please if you have nothing nice to say to me don't say anything at all and then we can all be a lot happier!!

I'm good thanks just very busy - hope you're good!

It's constant as soon as thir folks go out their chavvy friends are round and evry other word is a swear word or they play a ridiculous noise which I believe they call music.

I'm ok thanks PP.

If it is teenagers who are doing this when their parents are out then maybe the parents aren't aware of what is going on. Could you have a word with the parents when you bump into them? Or maybe have a word with the kids directly - obviously not when they have their mates round and are carousing as they will probably get lippy just to show off in front of the crowd but if you see them during the day. Maybe just ask if they are aware how much sound carries and how you can hear not only their music but their conversations too and ask if they could keep it down a bit.

Good luck

Hmmmn..

People just do what the hell they like these days

As we are in a detached house we don't have noise through walls, fortunately, but the noise coming from some peoples gardens especially in the summer is ridiculous!

We are the type of people who are conscious of not making noise but I wonder why we bother sometimes

Meh! I don't bother Stocking. I'm in a semi. They make their noise.....I make mine  having said that it does get a bit out of hand sometimes and I think well..........I can't complain. I make just as much noise as them 

so you are neighbours then?

Sproooot - I have a low tolerance level when it comes to noise - very low

Yeah, I prefer no noise but if there has to be.........play them at their own game  

Same here on all counts Miss S......  

Think I might go out tomorrow night with a big subwoofer Baz

I think we are probably a noisy family ...............not OTT but when we all get together we produce some volume. We've never had complaints at home at least! On holidays in the past we have had complaints year after year (we used to meet up with friends in France) ....................we are late night people and as I say we are not OTT but probably a bit noisy!

Dares ya! 

You might hear me down at yours Sprooot

Bloody hell!! that must be gonna be some size box! 

 Go for it.... or one of those things they had in the World Cup in South Africa

I love my neighbour dearly, she's getting on now and lost her husband a couple of years ago, i look out for her and always ask if she needs any shopping getting in etc BUT she has a son that comes too see her daily (too beg off her) and he brings his dog, she has a dog also and the 2 dogs don't get on so she puts her dog upstairs in the bedroom next too mine and it whines for hours  no afternnon sunday naps in this house  i have drop it into conversations and she does apologise but it still happens EVERY day

Oh no Sprooot I think Baz's suggestion of a vuvuzela is a better one actually

 That's them....... couple of those should sort it out

Noisy neighbours can be a nightmare, specially when they are playing awful music. I play very loud music all the time, even when I'm not home. Fortunately for my neighbours I have very good taste in music. I know they approve as I hear them banging on their walls and yelling for me to turn it up 

Just tell her Aims. Say ere missis! your bloody dog just makes too much noise!...........she'll get the message 

Yeah, that might do the trick 

Ya think? 

You lot falling for this PP post...

I thought we were doing what we were good at 

Carry on.....

Touche Cologne

i've told her and now she informs me when she's going out, so i can get prepared for the noise  the sound is sooooooo iritating  i'm shouting shut the f-ck up and my daughters shouting at me too shut the f-ck up

Taking the thread off topic?  

are you saying we aren't having a serious debate? (sobs)
