Noisy Neighbours driving me mad!

I feel really sorry for the OP. 

We’re home quite a lot. We hear absolutely nothing from the older lady next door although she does phone occasionally to ask for our help. 

From the neighbour two doors away we occasionally hear diy etc - the sounds pass along the floorboards. 

From the other next door neighbours with a nine year old and a dog we very occasionally hear a raised voice or laughter, or a door being slammed, no more. 

If we go into our garden we hear birdsong, distant traffic, distant playground shrieking from a school, distant building work and the occasional sirens or ‘toys out the pram’ from the main road.

This post sounds very familiar... You aren't going to get any different advice from last time, and probably not much sympathy (although to be fair most people would probably feel the same in your position even if they brush it off as normal family noise on here).

I suspect the OP would get more sympathy if they showed any sign of taking on board the advice previously provided under their other guises, rather than flouncing off and then reappearing months later with a new username and exactly the same query.

Hard to spot every issue with just few minutes viewing.

Communicate with them.

If it is long term and they are willing to change might have to move but then hpefully won't face the same issue elsewhere.

Don't most people drive by at different hours etc. Knock neighbours doors to check out the area? Surely if it's this constant it would have been noticeable?

I currently have very noisy neighbours (mainly the kids - also with the constant football banging against fence every single day/evening, rain or shine) and, as a result, don't spend any time in my garden either. But my cats sometimes crap in their garden, so there is that. They are the 4th lot of neighbours (all owners, not renters) that have lived there since I moved in in 2010 and the only ones that have been annoying, so I have to take the rough with the smooth I suppose. 

I'll move house eventually to somewhere with a bit more separation from neighbours (not my only reason for wanting to move btw), but I'll just have to put up with it until I'm in a position to do so.

But why should you have to put uo with it? 

These are awful, and only think about themselves, her voice goes through me, and he thinks he is something as well, just attitude all the time..

The house next door to us has had major building work going on for 10 months, with no end in sight. A hot tub would be preferable.
