Have you got noisy neighbours?

I used to live out in the country where I had no neighbours and we never heard a sound. As we are getting on in years we decided last year to move into a semi-detached house in the village so that we could be close to the shops. Now we have to listen to our neighbours children charging around on bare floorboards until the early hours of the morning. They slam doors and presses and play music so lound that I have to turn up the volume on my tv so that I can hear it. On Christmas eve, Santa must have given them a drum machine, They played it all night into the earlu hours of Christmas morning. Now it seems, we shall have to uproot ourselves again and look for a detatched house, and this is going to cost us more money. A pity I can't add sound to this response, and you could listen to my neighbours right this minute as they continue to slam their doors.

our place is alright, we own a house so most time we cant heard too much partying going on, but when late night comes around you could hear, the cars drive by. i fell sorry that you have such a noisy neighbors. hope you find a better place to move away from them.

Well, who doesn't? The old lady who lives above (7th floor) seems to have a workshop or something and is always boring holes or dragging something, not to mention that at least twice a year, water leaks from her bathroom to mine, on the walls (it's like I'm waiting for the rainy season or something)... The couple living at the 5th floor has a kid that just realized that if she cries she gets things solved. Therefore, that kid cries about 6-7 times a day...

yeah, we have this neighbor who owns a karaoke... they are really annoying.. we tried to settle the situation by asking them to make some curfew.. sometimes they do but sometimes not.. we may report it to the authority.

LOL... that is why in choosing a place to stay, we should check the neighbors. Although, I believe when you get to know your neighbors and bond with them, there is a way to let them know you don't like them noisy all the time. HAve a great day

my first floor neighbours is very noisy.he is used to sing in bathroom very loudly.his sound is very irrtating.

I had a neighbor above me once who walked around like he had lead shoes on. One morning I became so irritatied, (it was 5am) and I was pregnant and all ready having trouble sleeping, I took a broom and hit the ceiling like I was walking on it. He got the idea after that and never walked with his lead feet again. I wouldn't wish on him that his apartment was flooded, that's a little cruel.

Hi This reminded me of the story that my wife told me when she came to England!! She used to live in Ukraine, her apartment was on the fifth floor, she had a leak one day, which went all the went down to the next floor!!! Now she is pleased that we have a house here in UK!

yes i hv had a past with noisy neighbours as well.they irritate alot with lots of shrill sounds made by all of them.thats just pretty ridiculous that you cant do anything.then i found a way out but still ......They have had fights day in and day out...i mean there has never been a tranquil morning...somehow its better now with the new family coming to live in nearby house of mine...lets c how it goes.

I live in an apartment and naturally I hear noises all the time because we're just divided by a thin slab of concrete wall. I have grown oblivious to the noise after all these years. Morever, kids are always screaming from the pool below while enjoying themselves and I don't mind happy noises. Incidentally, I live on the 4th floor too but my neighbour on the 3rd level always complain that my kids make too much noise running around the house. There's not much I can do because I hear stamping noise from the 5th floor all the time too and I attribute it to the building defects. My kids are young and I cannot deprive them from what kids do. I just make sure they don't jump in the bedrooms and keep them in bed by 10pm.

No i haven't noisy neighbours. I live at house. Sometimes one of my neighbour is noisy but not so much to disturb me :D

oh i have the most horrible neighbours one can ever have,,the whole day they keep the music burnin our ears at loud volume..we have told them politely many times to refrain from this..but instead they increase thier volume!!now dats very nasty,isnt it?? take care.

I hear my neighbors, im in the corner on the building so we hear everything, and its not that big of a deal because everyone is almost all the same age. And then there is a popular bar, across the street. i always hear then till 1am when they close. And we also live upstairs from a noisy greek resturant.

YES, and its very annoying.. i always hear them shouting wen they call on their children, maybe they came from a squatter area where everybody else has to shout to be heard or maybe from the forest where people are vey far frm each other, its very annoying really esp if you wana rest. i also dont like them bec you hear a lot of cursing, even little childern do! and their children fights back rudely at the elders when scolded... not a very nice place for a growing child. i fear my chld would get that bad influence from the children around. right now we cannot move out yet, its costly in our place to acquire new house and lot. maybe in the future..

yes i do... because my neighbour on top of me is renovating his flat and he starts as early as 8 am when i am still sleeping... but i just tolerate him... hope he will finish his renovation soon...

yes i too got a noisy neighour. try to adjust your self and get yourself accoustomed to the situations. pls do not get annoyed or show your angry . when ever possible try to teach him to be silent and your teaching will turn him to be quite within few weeks. i am sure as i have achieved this . all the best

No, fortunately we don't live that close to our neighbors so being noisy is not a problem really. However there is one who is particularly nosy. lol

We live in a flat that has no sound proofing whatsover. The neighbour above us has a child that constantly runs around, jumping, banging etc, the noise is horrendous at times, especially in the evening. We are only separated by floorboards. We have contacted the local authorities as they are council tenants, but they say there is nothing they can do because it isn't going on at unreasonable hours, although, they admit it is very noisy. We have spoken to the neighbour and she is aware of the problem since she has sat in our flat while her child ran around upstairs! We have offered to get her room soundproofed, but she won't agree, we can't force her.

Yeah. My neighborhood sucks. And I can't do anything with the noise pollution we have here in the neighborhood. If only I could have enough money, I would definitely move out this freaky neighborhood.

Hey same here...we've got the noisiest neighbours you can think of.....
