What do you do about noise at night?

I have indeed had this kind of disturbance, the voice shouting for help woke me up and I discovered it was coming through the wall from the woman next door, further noises revealed that her husband was severely beating her. I went round and saw him with his hands round her throat and she was trying to shout through an open window. I immediately went home and called the police. We lived in a very rural area with only five houses in our row, yet I was the only one who called the police, I decided that I couldn't care less what he thought of me the next day as I had previously had a friend who's husband had done the same thing. The woman had come to stay with me and I didn't inform the police of the goings on. When she went home, he murdered her. So there was no way I was not going to do something about the man beating his wife that night. In the end the police came and it turns out he was beating her severely. Sometimes you have to be really brave. It's not an experience I would like to repeat, but I would If I had to.

We live along the highway. I live here since birth so i am fond of all the noises going on at night and i don't care about them. WHen i feel like i want to sleep,i just sleep. And fortunately, i could..hehe. THere are also some night bars nearby and i could hear the singers voices,some are quite horrific. But i can't do anything. There are also some fights and everything. Sometimes they are chasing each others with knives. They are very frightening.

Thank God I live in a quite neighbourhood. However if such an occurrence happens I will not be the first person to jump and intrude between the two parties. I will phone the local police to handle the situation. I am not trained to handle such situation and I might get hurt.

Hello Derek. I have experienced this sort of disturbance for a few times. There were some nights when I heard some people quarreling from somewhere a little bit far from my apartment windows. As it was quiet at night, their noise could be heard and it was very rude of them to make so loud noise as to disturb the others who were sleeping. I have never done anything to stop them because it will only cause some more trouble if I yell at them to stop it. I prefer to keep silent though in this situation unless it is someone that I know.

it is awful to hear the noise when we are sleeping soundly,for some people when them awak in the middle of night, it is quit hard to sleeping again, so i'm the people how is, i would like to watching tv or sit in front of my computer.as you said that it is never wise to confront strangers.while an argument or quarrel happening,it is hard to stop by other people, there have no sence to accept other people's suggestion.good luck and have a nice day!

I confronted my neighbor and told them i wanted them to stop cursing because i have three children and it isn't fair they have to put up with this stuff. They listened for a while, but then went right back to fighting.

The only thing that I use to hear when I lived in the country was crickets and dogs barking at night. Now I live in the suburbs and every now and then I will hear a car pass by but once I'm sleep I don't hear a thing. The only time that I hear loud talking is when in the daytime when I go outside. It's this lady who lives not too far from me who talks really loud on the telephone. It does not bother me. Everyone knows her business we can't help but hear it. Anyway if I were disturbed by a noise I would call the police and let them handle it.

I often hear a loud music from outside or just yelling or like somebody is snaping the door.Sometimes I just wonder what people are doing up so late and so loud.I like to stay up long, while I am the most creative thorugh the night, but it is disturbing all that noise.I am often scared and have to say I don't know how to handle it.I would be to scared go outside in the night and confront someone.
