Noisy party - nothing that I can do?

There is a party 3 houses down from where I live, with very load music ouside, they have a DJ and a sound system :mad: ...
I tryed calling the police (I have to work tomorrow and it's like trying to sleep in a club), but they gave me the number of the local environmental office. I called them, they gave me a call back an hour later and asked if they can come in my house to asses the noise level, in case it becomes a legal matter and so on...
I thought that you can make an annoymous complaint without the persons noing exactly which neighbour made the complaint, I am afraid now and I just have to try to pass the night in this noise....

    This became a regular problem in my previous road. In the end someone put a brick through the offending window. You should not do this. But it did the trick.
    Been away for a while.

    Call the cops again with allegations of drug usage (a fair assumption - to be up partying at this time in the morning they must all be on speed).

    I think you will find making totally unfounded allegations risks you being charged with wasting police time.

    I'm afraid I regularly used to stay at parties till well after 1am (the time the op was moaning about) without drug use - just because you can't hack it doesn't mean everyone else can't. By your logic all marathon runners who do sub 3hr marathons must be on drugs, or 4 minute milers etc... (of course I'm assuming you're not a decent athlete here)

    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    So at 1am people have a few mates round and having a laugh. Neighbour gets peeved and without even speaking to them damages property - who's more of the trouble maker? Judging by how annoyed they are I'm sure they would have said if it was a regular occurrence.

    If they "want a laugh" at 1am then maybe they should laugh and get !!!!ed earlier down the pub and not assume that neighbours want to be part of their little party.

  • You could knock on the door and ask them to turn it down? They might not realise how loud it is.
