Stupid prick neighbours

It must be time to bring out the wind chimes and amplifier

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...

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.

This thread makes me feel guilty about my teenage years.

Liar. My flatmate says it must be karma from when he used to do the same. Me, I never really did that carry on, me being an angel and all.

[Katman]

Liar.

I wish I was.

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.

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.

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.

Or just collect the dogshit from the back lawn and post it through their letterbox. repeatedly

Didn't you say you had 6 and 8 year old boys? Buy them a drum kit and tell them to practice early in the morning.

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?"

If it's about early morning pissing contests, then a 100hp 2T outboard boat motor crackling away while you get everything else organised for a good day on the water works well. As good neighbours we would give the motor its test start the night before.

None of you lot are at her place at 10pm -midnight when theres a bunch of out of control people rarking up.
Its all great beeing internet warriors. But a lady home with two little kids and the cops 10 minutes minimum away doesn't have that option.
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.
I'd say go talk to them but the trouble is if its followed by a noise control visit shortly after you have just painted a big bullseye on your back.

I know I can ring anytime but I try not to ring before 10pm, trying to let them have a lil fun and not be totally unreasonable, lol. No party last night, yay.
