    get the noise team involved, but for tonight...not alot you can do New Years Eve tbh - though it might be an idea to explain that your wife is at work tomorrow, depending how good/bad your relationship with them is.
    If my typing is pants or I seem partcuarly blunt, please excuse me, it physically hurts to type. :wall: If I seem a bit random and don't make a lot of sense, it may have something to do with the voice recognition software that I'm using!

    I'd be tempted to book a night in a travelodge just for tonight and send them the bill.

    Buy some ear plugs. But doubt you cant do much its New Years Eve! If it happens again afterwards make an official complaint, but keep records of all noise with dates and times.

    Do what the other person said, take your wife for a nice meal or something (new year) then go to a travel lodge for the night! Or stay at a relatives house. Or just get some ear plugs!
  • Do you have a noise pollution unit? You can normally contact them through the council, I think it comes under pollution in environmental health. They usually have a unit you can contact who will come out and make an assessment. Check out your local council's website for further info
