    Ha - this thread does come across as 'middle class student complains about kid in rough terraced area'....I know its not that but it just feels close. Can imagine the OP 'Yah Issie they are just soh noisy, its like, they don't ever have French lessons or go to the stables. Yah. They don't even have a nanny."
    I'm only kidding and in reality these sorts of things are really annoying. The kids do sound a bit unruly but I guess in student houses in those sorts of areas that is what you are liable to get sadly. If I'd run up the stairs noisily as a kid I'd have got a whack - and I'm thinking the OP wouldn't want that. Times have moved on kids are noisier now - its not all a bad thing. I'd echo the noise cancelling headphones idea - and ear buds too for sleeping!
    Kids are only noisier because their parents don't teach them any different!
    Should kids not be allowed to be noisy? Within reason. Isn't it part of being a kid?
    Within reason, of course, but then that wasn't the point of the thread, unless you find screaming all day to be reasonable?
    If it is, of course, screaming into the void, it’s absolutely reasonable. Especially when you’ve spent extended time with horrendously noisy neighbours. 
    Ours have their tv so loud we can follow a film audibly, in a 1930s semi. We tried to negate the issues by using the rear room as our living room as there’s is the front. Then they added a tv to their kitchen. We are currently mid house buy to move. It’s been one of the worst rental homes I’ve lived in, because the neighbours are excessively loud.
