Stupid prick neighbours

[bosslady]

Sick of their bloody get togethers once or twice a week, yelling, laughing out loud (how dare they), revving their cars, slamming doors, having drum fires, loud doof doof music. Wankers! the lot of em! short of calling noise control what sweet payback could one inflict? Who am I kidding though, I'd probably never do anything. Where for art thou sleep, better send me the whambulance! :baby:

[mashman]

I know. People enjoying themselves is a social menace. Call the cops and tell them that you've seen a gun being waved about. That'll learn 'em.

Do you know anyone that works at Council ?

Or ring the rates department and ask if you can have the owner's contact details. You can at least get their postal address and possibly a phone number if the information is not suppressed.

Be polite and see what their response is. If they do nothing about the problem, start ringing them each time your neighbours party and remind them of their responsibilities under the Residential Tenancies Act 1986.

And do call noise control.

[unstuck]

Easy peasy, go to your local council website and look up the rateing information, you should find the owners name and mailing adress on the rates for that property. Turning the power off is only a good idea if the meterbox is on the outside of the house, makes it a whole lot more interesting if it is inside, you have to be a bit sneaky.:devil2:

Nah I don't know anyone in council. I could try unstuck's suggestion below, but to be honest I would start to feel a bit stalker-ish ringing the property owners every time their tenant has a party. Maybe I should just stick to noise control...

He finished it off with his dirt bike, jetski AND trailer-mounted water blaster running at the same time at sparrows-fart underneath their windows. He spent the day topping up the petrol in each machine and eventually shut them down five hours later!

It's an option. But other than pissing off the pizza and taxi dudes it'll achieve bugger all.

The other options are a strongly worded chat about the unacceptable noise.

Just go and talk to them and if no luck then at the next party just call noise control, noise control will give them a warning and if they have to come back on the same night, they will take the stereo (or whatever they are using to make noise)

I dont see the point in being passive aggressive about it in the first instance, no harm in banging on their door at 8am to discuss the previous nights noise levels, they may genuinely not be aware that they are making the street angry (since no one has actually been over to speak with them).

We had a neighbour who had weekly party's, I spoke to them, they ignored me, so noise control was called and there sounds taken, easy!! Nothing more satisfying than having doof doof doof, then nothing. Party tends to become pretty boring for the guests with no sounds, so they all leave within 15mins. And if noise control feels they need back-up, police are called in, which shuts it down even quicker!

So to re-cap, simpye be an adult and go talk to them and if you get no action use the correct avenues for standard noise control complaints, bingo bango problem solved...

Bah, if they anti-social or intimidating, don't talk to them. Let noise control do the talking for you. If they are inconsiderate enough to be making noise constantly, they won't pay a blind bit of notice if you talk to them. If noise control have to bring the popo along to confiscate shit, the popo will soon get sick of it and start showing an interest in the rest of their activities too.

[St_Gabriel]

short of calling noise control what sweet payback could one inflict?

Do they have a cat? Maybe you could steal it?


Though in all seriousness, I understand how frustrating and annoying it can be. Visit your council and ask to see the rates record. Then you can find out the owner of the property and call them and mention that the neighbours are cunts and everytime you are kept awake you will be ringing to let them know. If the noisy pricks are the owners then do what the wife and I did and buy another house and move.
Didnt realise the effect on our health and wellbeing until we went on holdays for a fortnight. On our return it took 3 hours until their stereo started and was thumping. The sudden crushing tension was unbelievable, that was the moment that we decided we had to leave. And yes noise control had been called numerous times, very ineffective especially when it is the one security company that had to attend from Te Awamutu and you live in Cambridge.

Personally being a woman of average build, i.e. not intimidating in the least, no, I would not consider going over there and talking to them. I'm scared of them and I don't want them to know it's us that's been complaining in case they try to steal or break some of our shit.My flatty owns this house and isn't moving and I'm not moving out, not for the foreseeable future anyway. Last night they were screaming, fighting and smashing bottles, I was almost gonna call the cops but it died down. They've obviously wised on to noise control too cause there was no music last night, not that I could hear anyway.

[GDOBSSOR]

Hmmm... Having just seen this thread, what I'd be tempted to do is borrow my dad's old spud gun and shoot it outside their window at about 4.30am. My ex-partner's dad fired up his lawn-mower at 5am, and none of the neighbours except the ones who were causing the trouble got pissed at him - I think everyone else had had enough of them too. There were no more problems after that. My mum's suggestion is to borrow the most powerful speakers you can find and place them as close as you can to their windows, and blast Mozart at 6am. If you play a musical instrument yourself, even better, especially if it's something like the drums. An old teacher of mine had a good one - when they're out during the day, sneak into their yard and take all their washing off the line, and dump it in the dirtiest corner of the yard. Oh, and call noise control if they are making noise that is causing a disturbance to you - even if it's not music.

[Virago]

I've used the "revenge" method many times myself. At 6.30am, fill lawnmower with petrol, remove exhaust muffler, park it up near their bedroom windows, start it up, and leave for a few hours. Next effort was some big horn speakers outside (very directional), and set "Widor's Toccata" to play over and over in a continous loop for four hours.

One day they were using their car stereo (car parked on street) as indoor entertainment. No problem, I had four cars to play with myself - with all door and windows opened, and all stereos playing Concert FM at full blast. They turned theirs off, and gave rousing cheers after every piece of music. Game, Set, and Match.

[neels]

I remember getting the gas torch and air powered riveter out early one sunday morning after the neighbors had yet another late party, and me and the old man replacing every rivet in a vintage car chassis, the following weekend it was amateur panelbeating on mudguards that he had no intention of ever putting back on the car. They seemed to get the message, and life was much quieter.

When my dad was camping about thirty years ago, the idiots in the neighbouring campsite were playing 'doof doof' music in their car stereo well into the night, every night. One night, they got really drunk, and the stereos didn't go off. Dad realised everyone had passed out. So, he went and got a full bottle of milk and turned off their ignition. Then he opened the boot and poured the milk into the speakers. Next day, he saw them gathered around the boot with spanners, going, "What the FUCK is that SMELL?"

[Smifffy]

Bosslady you may or may not know that the council changed the law regarding noise control. You can put in a complaint anytime now. So no need to wait till the old 10pm cutoff.
