Noisy neighbours-THE REVENGE

Ear plugs.
Get a decent microphone and recording device, fix it to your ceiling in the trouble areas and record their racket, replay the noise when they've stopped making it right back at them through a powerful amp and speaker directed upwards.

Learn to play the violin, recorder or drums for an hour after you wake up in the morning. Play the same tune over and over and over again until you have fully mastered it then start a new one.

If you're interested in amateur electronics build a device which measures decibel levels and if they're loud enough then triggers a servo to make scratching sounds on your ceiling under their kitchen cupboards and bedroom floor a minute later. If / When asked about the noises say your pet rat / snake / tarantula has escaped and if they see it would they please contact you.

Not clever... just a bit pathetic that you think it's great to take pot shots at a neighbour's pet.

I took the implication from the post it was a headshot not a pot shot!!

Best way really gets it over quickly..

Having been asked numerous times to at least keep it down after 9pm, she claims she "can't hear it unless it's that loud".

You can get gadgets to help with that - OH's grandfather had one. He plugged it into the TV, and wore a pair of (cordless) headphones which amplified the sound. Perhaps you could suggest that to her?

Forget that try some Tibetan monk chanting, unique is perhaps the best way to describe it...

the guy living below us likes to bring half of the town back about once a month (always on a saturday) and have a giant drunken LOUD sex party. as well as the obvious noise, constant doors banging from people coming/going/ popping outside to smoke from about 2am until 6/7am. we then hear them slowly leave and the guy goes to sleep. we have to leave the flat every sunday at 10 to go somewhere. just so happens that on the sundays after his 'parties' we are up at about 8, have to do the laundry, plus hubby likes an early morning run on the treadmill, and we need to take the rubbish out and then go out which involves lots of loud slamming doors and heavy feet up and down the stairs. does not make up for the fact we barely sleep during the night because of the noise but at least allows a small amount of satisfaction. can't wait to move!

I too have problems with neighbours who have 3 dogs and a very noisy boiler fan that is on almost all night .... I have spoken to them many times now about letting their dogs out at 1am to bark and wake us up but they are not interested in stopping.

There is very little legally you can do aparently other than calling the council number who send someone round but how can you do that for dogs barking late at night ? by the time someone comes round they will be back indoors and not barking ....

Our neighbour is also building his house as we did but this is going on now for 8 years so we get every weekend full of hammering and sawing plus the occasional bricklayer turning up at 7am on a Sunday to put up scaffolding and playing his radio at full blast, its soul destroying after building your dream home to have such selfish people next door.

Time to sell up me thinks and live somewhere with the nearest neighbour being erm I dunno maybe a mile away lol !

>letting their dogs out at 1am to bark and wake us up<

try discretely tossing some doggie 'treats' into their yard, such as macadamia nuts dipped in cooking chocolate balls.
