Probably posting in the wrong sub-forum, so mods move if you feel like it.

Newish tenants next door, got increasingly noisy over the past year (fighting until 2,3 or 4 am). Finally called police last week when lady of the house was (again) trying to kill her partner. She was carted off by police and spent a night in the cells.

Now we appear to have a new thing - pop music post midnight. I'm guessing this is the retaliation. However this is actually preferable to the shouting, swearing and violence, and far more quantifiable.


Currently we are being serenaded by the hits of the 70s. Oh Joy.

I wondered where the 'fighty couple' moved to when they left here hehe

Seriously though, its really not a nice thing to listen to. We had a couple that used to fight like crazy - first time I heard it I mistakenly laughed when I heard it from the floor below, I was quite shocked... then had the 'do I step in?' conundrum...

...but I soon realised it was just 'their thing' - thats what they did!

He was a total jack ass I couldn't help but laugh at him. ANYONE that talks about themself in the 3rd person during a stand-up, screaming fight is a turkey.

Hope it the music doesn't go on too long. smash

I tried phoning the out of hours no for noise pollution and they claimed I'd got through to the emergency services. I know it definitely wasn't the emergency services as they definitely don't answer the phone with a simple "Yes?"

I'm afraid even if I was up for the latter, their house is joined to mine ...

If the LO hadn't taken all the knobs off the stereo I'd wait until later and then just play them something I'd like.

They're actually singing along at the moment, I think it's to Agadoo.

I think I'll hoover the house first thing tomorrow. (LO will get us up before 7 am whether we like it or not).

Ooops, I think they've actually started rowing. Or maybe they just can't sing.

Yup, I'd pop round and ask if they do requests.

Then ask for John Cage's 4'33".

(google it!)

If they're fighting and playing music all night, they're going to feel like st at some point the following morning, so here's your window of opportunity for revenge. Just crank that stereo LOUD my friend, or opt for some very noisy DIY. Hammer drills or audio test CDs are perfect weapons for retribution - or invite your local TVR club round for a mid-morning hoon.

I actually rang my local councils out of hours noise pollution line last night, they rang me back within half an hour, and was here within an hour.

Think they are serving a noise abatement notice or something on the dogs owner, If it happens again they will have the power to seize the noise maker (dog.)

I'd recommend getting in touch with yours sharpish, they are effective!

Piece of 1/2" plywood held against the adjoining wall, a 10mm bolt in the chuck of your hammer drill, and rattle against the plywood for a half hour at 7am.

When they complain inform them you've been awake all night listening to their crap music so you thought you'd get some DIY in.

My parents next door neighbour managed to drive through their fence. Quite an achievemnet as its a straight single track road, and they had to stop in a further 10 foot to go through their own gate!
