Our neighbours are fighting again

I know that I live around other people and people will br people. But for the last couple of years I will just this... I have lived in the same location for 22 years and the police have been there more in the last 2 years than the entire 22 years I've lived there... Some of you know why, but its a real nightmare...having to deal with...

Oh yes, we can hear our neighbors as well. With the boom in the population, more houses are going up, but they are being placed closer and closer together to fit some more in. Have you thought of putting a fence between the two to kind of block out some of the sound? If this is not possible, maybe you need to install some 'sound' insulation tiles, or foam on your side to help damper the sound coming in and out.

we live in a townhouse condo so we have neighbours on either side. one side is an older lady who is quite quiet (she must be in her mid 70s) and on the other side, we have a young, unmarried couple who live together. we can sometimes here their dog barking and once in a while hear them walking up the stairs but thats about it.

I can't imagine hearing every lil thing my neighbors say and do. I can hear them sometimes if they are outside and I have no tv on or a door open. The noises that bother me are like when the one neighbor used to take his dogs out when he got home at 2-3am. Then ya got another that used to have alot of partying tenants for a time that was something to wake up to tend to a sick child and you can hear them playing foot ball in the road.

I am in the same position with you in our house. We are also in a semi detached house and our walls are thin which means that we can hear literally anything that they say. They argue a lot, and we sometimes feel a little bit uncomfortable listening to them because we're not sure that they know how much they can hear. I once heard them talking about us saying that we're bad neighbours, so the next time that they ask us for some help with their garden or looking after their children we shall be saying no, because we know exactly what they think about us as a family.

It is a usual thing to every one . But it is not so for me , some time my neighbours goes out of control and it happens .

Hmmm.. Our home is a quiet one, we live in the city but are lucky enough to be located where trees still grow and homes are not built on tiny dog houses. However, we are not so lucky with the neighbors we have. The neighbor that's located a little bit close to the area where my room is has a son, daughter, and a grandson living with her. The son (when he's drunk) goes bezerk and a single comment from the grandson (who is around 20's) would send him screaming his head off and throwing things that would really sound traumatic since we live in a quiet place. I could hear his screams and them stopping him with all their might and the swearing just doesn't end. Though this doesn't happen often (about once every 2-3 months) it really sends shivers through my spine because I'm not used to it. These days, whenever drama comes to their household again, I simply turn on my speakers at its loudest so that they would realize that I'm annoyed with them. This tiny little village (I call it village because our community here in this area is only composed of around 20 houses but this is still close to the city center) is quiet but any commotion could be heard. I think your neighbors (like mine) knows that you can hear them. But I guess their tempers just get the most of them and they cannot control themselves. Another incident when I was with my partner in Singapore was that their homes there were also located on a quiet area. The buildings were high and a lot of people live per floor. Our flat was located on the corner and we only have one neighbor beside our flat. They would open their windows in the morning and start fighting. Every single day the same. I don't know the language well so when I asked my partner (who understood them) what they're fighting about, he'd often smile and tell me that they're fighting because the wife complains that the husband keeps on taking a shower. She claims that their water bill is already very high because he needs to take a bath every day. Have a great MyLot experience ahead!

hi Porcospino no my neighbors are pretty quiet except fot the one man next door who has cancer of the throast as he has a gurgling sound when he coughs . He is also my tablemate and when He starts to clear the stuff out of his throat he coughs up this y ellow crap into kleenex and wheezes and tu rns pu rple it turns my stomachl It an ugly sound and an ugly site. I wish he would do this at another time besides at meals..I am not unsympathetic but this sight mixed with food upsets my stomach.Our rooms are fairly soundproofed here at Gold Crest

I can't hear what my neighbors are saying unless they are having an argument by shouting out loud at each other, the wall between us are sound proof to a certain degree that normal conversations between people inside the house are normally blocked out from the outside ears. I can only hear occasional dog barking from my neighbor home, or when they turn on their home stereo volumn set to the max. Other than that, i hardly know much of the personal secret my neighbors have in the passed years. It is good in a way that i don't have to hear anything and everything come out from my neighbors house no matter i like it or not.

Yes, I can here my neighbours, I have an apartment in a five storey building. I here the steps of the neighbour who lives on top of me, he's a big man. Sometimes I even can here his little Pekinese dogs, the knocking of their claws on the cement floor of the corridor. It's the same with the neighbours next to me. They have a little girl and her mother often is yelling at her. Sometimes the kid have guests and they are screaming loudly. But these sounds doesn't bother me too much, thanks God.

Hi porcospino! This is really funny and I can understand how you exactly feel about it.We can hear the noise of our neighbor only when they shouted or fight! But not when they have a normal conversation as we are separated by walls. I cannot imagine living in a place wherein every conversations we make can be heard by others.

I suppose if you can hear the sound your neighbors' make from within your house, then they can hear sounds that originates from your house as well. That's a part of being neighborly; sharing on the joint sounds that are made collectively! On a different note, of course at certain times of day, if the music is too loud, then one can speak to the neighbor with a view to get the matter addressed, and vise versa. The idea is that with mutual respect, any issue can be resloved. Not every neighbor will be accommodative to each other; depending on a number of factors. However, one should strive to be as accommodative as possible, as both you and the neighbors will need to be neighborly as a matter or protocol.

as for us, we can't hear them because we live in a community with houses a few meters away. if you have the means you can transfer to a house with neighbors 20 meters far. if not, you can turn the volume of your tv high, maybe in that way they will get the message that they are noisy.

I am still a student, so the place i live in is a university apartment. The whole apartment has nine floors, and every floor has a corridor in the middle with both sides having several bedrooms. The oppsite side of our bedroom lives several boys majoring in music. Sometimes, day or night, they like to practice their voice. And I can't imagine why their voice are so noisy to me and other girls. Sometimes, they indeed disturb our resting.

Hello Porcospino, We are also able to listen when the neighbours make any quarrel. Usually at the time of quarrel the sound is automatically increasing that is the reason it come to our ears. Otherwise we can’t hear any talks in their home. It is really annoying to listen the quarrel between couples. Once we wake up at 3 am from a deep sleep by listening the screaming of the daughter of our neighbour, she was trying to prevent her parents from a fight. Next day I asked to her mother, what was going on here, is this the time to quarrel, she said her hubby was drunk and made some stupid comments. Anyway they never quarreled after that incident in the midnight. (I am not sure whether my question worked on them).

We don't anymore but along time ago we did. Our neighbors really loved each other. ;)
