It's interesting PN, my son is on the autistic spectrum and reading how you feel is exactly how he is. He is hypersensitive to some noises, and would also be very disturbed by unusual and inconsistent types of disturbances.

I hope that he will meet a lovely lady who will understand him.

By the way I've been pronouncing your title as Sint Neighbours, am I wrong???:beer:

Yes, it's: CAN'T neightbours ... because I can't put the U in.

We are in a similar situation with our neighbours from hell. Just think of any bad thing....they are involved. Police have been helpless and hopeless. We actually get more support from council as their sound equipment have been seized by the council. Hope it gets better

So sorry to hear about this, PN - and hope it's just tonight and that they get tired very quickly (what's the chance). My view would be to have a discussion with them, they may not realise how the noise is carrying.

Sagaris, I am so glad that you're terrible situation seems to have resolved. Cross fingers for you.

Horrible situation. Hope it resolves.

I was thinking of something more subtle than a chat ... maybe a horse's head on their doormat.

I just feel isolated by it.

I can totally relate to you about feeling like this. Our problem neighbours have kids and the parents don't and won't control them and its the parents who are actually the problem. The kids aren't that bad although they are allowed to play an electronic organ between 7.30-8.30 of a morning. We are always told there is nothing we can do even though its the parents who are causing most of the problems.

The first batch of bad neighbours eventually moved out and despite the agents knowing about the problems we had with them, the agents moved in another family with kids who play football inside their flat most evenings despite living right next door to a park so we have to put up with balls constantly banging against the walls and celiling and we can hardly hear ourselves talk as the ball bounces around the room. This has been going on for about a year and a half with the latest neighbours and the neighbours before them it went on for over a year so we have had problems for three years now.

Nobody has any idea how badly noisy neighbours affects you unless and until it happens to them. I will never ever live in another flat again. There should be a thread purely for people like us with noisy neighbours. It does make you feel very lonely and powerless and wears you down mentally.

Keeping a vague log. It's music/voices/shouting all the time, banging, stomping, jeering, banging doors, people in/out/up/down, with particular notes at:
18:10, 18:14, 18:17, 18:18, 18:19, 18:51, 18:54, 19:03, 19:09, 19:10, 19:14, 19:16, 19:18, 19:43, 19:48, 19:50, 20:09, 20:14, 20:15, 20:24, 20:25, 20:27, 20:42, 20:56, 21:04, 21:10, 21:11

The anxiety side of things has now brought on some small, regular, chest pains, which worry me. I am shallow breathing so it doesn't hurt.



I do get scared at that sort of thing, living alone, if it turns out to be something, there's nobody here to make a phonecall, yet I don't want to be bothering people if it's nothing.

You said you don't have a sound system ....yes you do, your computer. It may not help you tonight but why not play them 'Farming Today' on Radio4 at whatever ungodly hour it's on in the morning? Or log on to Youporn or Yuvutu and wake them with some full-blast pornography while you are in the shower? You can buy extension speakers for very little and attach them in appropriate places with masking tape which won't damage the decorations. Buy a cheap musical instrument and 'learn to play it' when you can't sleep. 'God Save the Queen' on a tenor saxophone works wonders! I'm not joking and I feel for you! Cints are everywhere!

I could, but my preferred route of madness is to turn up at the agents' office like a loony and behave oddly and doing a sit in while they contact the landlord and put in writing what they're going to do about it

I really need you to come and organise my life sometime. I wouldn't have the balls to do that.

Can you possibly move into the upstairs flat if that neighbour is moving out? Assuming it's the same rent it might be a better deal cos you'd only have the downstairs neighbour's noise to contend with and that will be less as most folks don't walk on their own ceiling.

My speakers are about 4watts.

In order to annoy them, I'd have to annoy everybody else too. They are furthest from me.

And, I have a disability which is most peculiar, but which includes high anxiety brought on by noise, I am very noise sensitive.

I can only hope the bloke who lives under them gives them full blast of his system.... I believe he has a very very very loud stereo - although I have never heard it. He told me a few months ago that the guy above him (where the chavs now are) had complained they could hear it, even though it was low. Who knows ... maybe HE turns out to have b4lls of steel.
