Noisy neighbours, what can we do?!


Question: Noisy neighbours, what can we do?
Our neighbour plays loud music til midnight every night, he doesnt work and sleeps all day, we both work and its got to the point where my partner sleeps in the spare room as the walls vibrate with the music. The house rocks, it's like living next to a club. It's getting my partner down, problem is, it's a private rented house and we can't find out who owns it. Where can we report him to? We are in the uk.

Answers:

get a large megaphone, and hide it on your property near and pointed toward them. run a wire from the microphone inside your house. use it liberally to express your discontent.



ouch.

first, have you asked him? he may not realise, we had idiot neighbours playing loud music at 2am but when asked nicely they stopped. People are more stupid than you realise but try the polite approach first.

if no joy asking nicely, then go to the police; they won't come round 'blues and twos' but will help you get something done. It isn't really his landlord's problem.



Tricky situation. Try negotiating with him or making him feel like if he continues the police could arrest him. Say you are being nice for the moment but soon if it doesn't stop you will report him to the police. Make him feel guilty and insecure.



Report it to the local councils enviromental health officer. They will go round and tell him to tone it down.if he does'nt they will take his equipment away.



Why not contact the police and make a noise complaint,and also complain that he is disturbing the peace...your peace.I live in the US,so the laws are different I'm sure.You should be more aware of your own laws that anyone else.Call your local police department and ask.Good luck...I too had terrible neighbors,and the wife would stay up until 3am with her 2 year old child(son),and her husband worked nights.I complained a total of 23 times to her,her husband,and of course the landlord..which happened to he her father-in-law.23 freaking times...still get upset at her sheer lack of respect,and I filed a report with my local police precinct.But,after so many calls,and complaints....fell on deaf ears.I finally took my broom(other end by the handle),and started banging on my ceiling...I only did that right after waking up at about 5:30-6am...with me knowing she went to bed around 3:30am herself...Ahhh...I got great solace knowing I kept her from sleeping every single morning as she did me every single night.It was a no win situation for me...as it was for her.But...I got something out of it at least,I wasn't getting any sleep either way....Just contact your local police dept. and ask questions about your options.Take care...I know how desperate situations like this can become after a while,and a person can feel helpless,depressed and often angry...
