Very noisy neighbours

Is there a neighbour on the other side of her that can join your battle?

When we have had problems with our neighbours we have always made a joint complaint, both to the letting agent and to the environmental department at the council. It has made a difference.

I phoned the police one Tuesday night at 2.40am and hung the phone out of the window to the sound of M&M and asked what can you do about this? I had work the next day at 7.30am. The answer was nothing, we dont deal with noise anymore its the council you want.

Noisy neighbours are awful.

It's quite closed where I live, her other neighbours moved in last year and she made friends with them strait away, the parties in their gardens last year were to die for.

I think you will find it is the son who is causing the problem and mum is probably scared to tackle him if he is as bad as you say.

The best course of action is environmental health who can advise you what is the best course of action as they can confiscate stereos etc that are causing misery.

Thanks for everyones help and advice, Its really been helpful. Its not the son though because he barely lives there ( if at all) its just the police keep turning up wanting to know where he is.

Have you had a look at acoustic plasterboard. It might help if put on the ajoining wall.

What are the chances it's the son as the OP says it's Lionel Richie being played?

This doesn't help if they leave windows open (I once had a noisy neighbour who would play very loud music in his shed, and leave it playing when he went out for the day - it used to make stuff rattle in my house it was so loud) but you can use felt soundproofing panels. A friend of mine did this, screwed them to the whole adjoining wall with his neighbours, and skimmed them with plaster. The effect was amazing, complete sound blocking between the houses. They are about an inch thick, I think he just got them from a local builders merchants. Try it in one room first, see if it helps.

switch there power off is another way..but i like the air horn idea..

I did look into soundproofing but dismissed it quite quickly, 1. because of the cost and 2. Because two of the rooms that are on the adjoining wall are the smallest which means I would lose too much space, and I don't see that as an option.

I'm not quite sure how to go about turning off their electricity so I'm still loving the airhorn idea at the mo :rotfl:

Can you speak to a solicitor and see if you can get a court injunction preventing them from their noisy activities?
