It's been going on years. Next door are a noisy family (semi detached house). They play music really loud, when they had a dog it barked constantly, the kid screams constantly, they're always arguing. Most annoying though is the music. She starts it at 7 am, really loud, plays it for an hour and then goes to work. Then it starts back up again about 6-7pm and can go on till 10, 11pm.
I've been very tolerant but this morning was the first day off I've had in about 3 months and getting woken up by Queen blaring away pushed me over the edge. Quite a bit of a row on their front door where she claimed it wasn't that loud and after all, we mow the lawn on Sunday mornings (that's a joke, I haven't mowed the lawn for about 3 years). It's only on for ten minutes, blah de blah, report me then.
I told her I don't want to report her each time she said it, I just want her to turn it down a bit. argue, argue, slam door.
Anyone ever bothered taking a noisy neighbour to the council? I'm aware that you have to log all the noise and then they'll install some noise testers before anything actually happens but it just seems like a really bad road to go down. We don't get on but I've no desire to actively piss them off.
I'm sure tonight her husband will be round shouting the odds, probably bring some of his mates or his sister who hates me because I ride a bike.
