Threatens me everytime i see her outside. Hi all and my sympathy to everybody in this situation. We have tried this, but it did not work with these neighbors. Other neighbours have apologised to me as I was left to sort it all out!! I dislike/hate a lot of people but she is at the top of the list, also she was meant to move like 2 years ago!! Hopefully!!! whenever i confronted them , they used foul language and abuse. I now own my own house in a Yorkshire village.

Still noisy neighbour making plenty of noise! Have you considered dog silencers? Point out to them that you are not doing anything wrong and the noise they are complaining about is just ordinary living. It is quite like my angry emails to the council’s environmental officers, if I look at them as a history, they started off polite and friendly and have become more and more hostile over time. Hi I’m really looking for some help… After two years of noise nuisance from upstairs neighbours I am feeling at the end of my tether.. The council have been useless!!! I ended up having 30 mins sleep before driving an 1 and half hours to work for a full clinic. I’m trying to have a family in a place where the now 45-50 year olds all reside, all “old skool” and are thick as thieves as they are thick as planks. I have kept a diary and today he was up at 5.30 a.m. to watch the Lions game in New Zealand and the bass woke me up. I think we find that once the housing association have got us ‘in’ then they take a step back re. Any comments or suggestions provided by Tessa or any guest bloggers should not, therefore be relied upon as a substitute for legal advice from a qualified lawyer regarding any actual legal issue or dispute. I went through the routine, asked nicely, please be less noisy, her reply was, right, bring it on ! Due to lies by staff they are not taking Tenant to court! We don’t deal with complaints about noise in the street from the general public, except for busking, and equipment like generators. I went round to talk to them and they said they were not being noisy and they told me to fk off. Your best bet is to endure the noise … this time. I’m an animal lover, at least I thought I was, but, honest, I’m seriously considering killing the bloody thing. I’M FROM THE COUNCIL” jumpers and name-tags on, with a clipboard and a pen…and the police around here are all masons, as is my neighbour so nothing gets done due to the Union Jack on his wall as a sign of “I’M ONE OF YOU MORONS! If they can hear this clearly then the problem is almost certainly down to poor sound insulation in the property. Include a description of what the noise is, how long it lasts and how it made you feel. I even managed to stick on camcorder and record some of it, not a great recording but it could be heard. i now totally understand why this happens. You could go some way towards them – as I am sure you don’t really want them hearing everything you do. Moving on, the interesting thing is there is also a consistent pattern to their thuggish behavior. His son is his landlord so there was no use in approaching him as he is an arrogant man who thinks because he owns the flat above that he can do what he likes. 6. The neighbor may not realize that their actions are affecting someone else until it is brought to their attention. These people can’t be reasoned with, police are utterly useless so if you want to reach a solution, do it yourself, if you’re catching my drift…. Take Care, I live in a terraced and the walls are thin, but been here for 12 years and for the most part all has been well. Will need drugs and earplugs unless I get a lucky break and can find a new home. All the neighbours know and are sympathetic but are unwilling or too afraid to get involved. This was why I had to stay, I had no options. Update – Housing Association this time have been a complete waste of time, they have changed their Anti Social Officer, who has failed to investigate fully, took them 3wks to send a letter out to other neighbours and didn’t ask what the Officer told me it would be asking. I want to do the same to the thing and family next door that cow had deliberately made life miserable because she can’t get her own way she’s tried harassment false accusations to the landlord and the council about me she’s dumped her crap over my garden got other neighbours involved through coercion and intimidation this woman is elderly and filled with pus and bile goes to Church says her Hail Mary s then does it all over again a true Christian! Is it a vicious cycle that they just don’t or can’t understand? It really makes your life hell when you can not enjoy your own home. Waste of time the council .. quite obvious how much noise would have been made by the works he had done ..BUT the answer remains .. its during the day .. not outside permitted hours .. so we wont take any action!! Stay calm (as best as you can). Here are some tips to follow when confronting your neighbor with a noise complaint. The police won’t respond at that time because of man power issues. Who does that? How wrong can you be, the new neighbor is in his late 50’s and is a heavy metal fan and lives alone. and lets not even start about the noisy kids and that when they go out in their cars they have to slam every door ! But what ever you do, DON’T be noisy back! We have asked them politely to keep the noises down but every time we do so they get even louder.

Hi there,I check your blogs named “Tips on how to deal and dealing with noisy neighbours | Stuart Briggs” daily.Your story-telling style is witty, keep it up! I feel your pain, I live in the city where houses are 15-20 feet apart.Our one neighbor has a family room in the back with a huge tv on the wall that is on side of our house.The people have no structure in there lives.They have nothing but time and are older and not in the best health so all they do is camp out in front of the tv and I get to hear it from inside my house.I dont know why I have to put up with their tv set blaring from 9am to 11pm it is so annoying and an everyday occurance for the past 3 years.Our house is small and I can hear the tv in the whole back half of my house.Its so loud I have to sleep with a box fan year round next to my bed to block out the noise.And unfortunately for me I cannot talk to them I have had them slam the door in my face a couple years ago for complaining about there son killing my grass along our fence on my side with his little spray can.If I said anything to these people they would say they dont care I have been through it before.These people rank as the top worst neighbors I have ever had.When people have nothing but time this makes for the worst neighbors.My only hope is that when they are gone a family with structure replaces them at least if they make noise it wont be sustained for so many hours and there would be down time where it is quiet.I think I am in for the long haul as much as I want this to stop I dont think I have any recourse.The funny thing is the noise ordinance is at 11pm and that is when the volume on the tv goes down so I know the scumbags are aware of what they are doing.I am relying on karma to even things up for me one day.

They keep on complaining to our landlord that they can hear us walking around. Why should I keep my window closed whilst trying to sleep when it gets warm .. and have to use ear plugs .. which eventually become painful and dont block the noise out …. I guess that is how karma works. Daytime also a fair bit of drilling, diy and visitors. They left but the new owners bought to rent out, so I am still a nervous wreck in anticipation.

She’s lived next door for a few years now, and we haven’t said anything too her, even after all the weekend parties which would go into the next day, so I get kept awake because of her being so disrespectful to everyone of her neighbours. if only more people had your attitude to defend our homes and those scared neighbours would act too.

A second later, as I was walking back upstairs, shaken and upset, his door opened again and he screamed more abuse at me and threatened to ‘rip my fucking eyes out’ if I ever spoke to him again. I play opera really loud.

And walks with a zimmer, so if I do go down, I have a cripple to beat up, in among a bunch of neds with the “SUNDAY SESH” which is an excuse to drink again after they are elsewhere the Saturday night before…his flat is a last resort for them, as it’s crazy days of the week he does it, and we all work, unlike that useless piece of flesh that the vultures would even turn their noses up at… and I have to suffer for it.
