Default Neighbour driving me nuts!!!!

Got to have a moan!!
My neighbour, well next door but 1, has his music on every Friday and Saturday night, so theres a house between us and the noise is still banging through the walls, our neighbour directly next door is in his 70's and has asked the lad numerous times to keep the noise down and gets a mouthful of abuse in return, this lad has no respect for anyone, he is the same age as me (22) and treats the street like it's his, I don't mind music as I'm young aswell but when my daughter gets woke up by it banging through the whole house it starts to take the pi55. He parks infront of our house when he can park infront of his own and round the back we have private spaces so he took it upon himself to use our space one day, he never asks, it was like the filming for the new fast and the furious the other day with all his mates cars and their all chavved up with loud exhausts, he comes in and out everyday like hes on a landing strip, now that aside, it's the music doing my head in, I've heard his reaction towards our elderly neighbour and thats what is putting me off going to his door and telling him to keep the music down, I'm sitting here now wanting to go and knock on his door (thats if he hears) and say something but I know he'll make everything hell after I do. What would any of you fellow Snetters do??

Sorry mate, but their is no way I would put up with that, I would bang on his door and ask him politely to turn it down, if he refused I would then call the police, failing that batter the little bastid.

LOL, the thought of battering him has crossed my mind quite alot recently, can a lass batter a lad I haven't really tried, I dread having to say something as I know he's a cocky tw@t and he's already told me he plays his music loud to pi55 our neighbour off, he does it like a vendetta, our neighbour just asks him politely if he would not make so much noise, sort his dog out etc and now thats what he gets in return, loud music and abuse, I don't want the same, but he spoils the estate, we're on a newly built estate, everyone is really nice, no other noise, then theres him, but then again, theres always one!

There is only one way to combat this sort of selfish, irresponsible and downright dastardly behaviour. A good thumping should make him see sense.

I agree try and be polite at first, if he keeps it up police and in the end slap him a few times

That would be like giving him a medal of honour. The kicking idea is a winner.

Like I say I would love to thump him, I might need some back up though. My hubby is usually working nights at weekends so he isn't around when I'm getting stressed out about it either, I could do without it at the mo. Theres that new number to ring up here instead of 999, 101 or something, for less serious things like nuisance neighbours, abandoned cars etc, might have to give it a go if I get no response or abuse from ********.

Soz that made me laugh, I wouldn't dare, he's already had a string of different girls moving in and out in the past 6 months, I wouldn't want to be next on his list.

Hello

The Police will not and cannot do anything. They will give you the telephone number of a relevant council department.

Yep and then the council will send me a form to keep a 3 month log or something stupid like that to mark down the times and dates etc of when it's happening, by then I'll be nuts, not that I'm not already.

we had similar happening to the old girl we bought our flat from, apparantly some of the larger male occupants of the neighbouring flats payed the young man a visit, and enlightened him in the ways of being a good neighbour. apparantly he moved out some time later

Environmental Health at the Council will take this up with him
Or, you could do what we do. We have a builder doing a barn conversion next to ours. When the noise gets bad, the other half switches on his Amp, plugs in the drum machine and plays his guitar full blast. The house moves and usually so does the builder

I have thought about pulling the car up infront of his house on a sunday morning about 6am, opening all the doors and the boot, putting the stereo on and leave the music blasting while I go back inside the house and have a cuppa or something, coz I bet he'd be the 1st person to be knocking on my door if I had music on at an unsociable hour for him.

We have it here, always an advert in the local paper with the area map and in orange is the area covered by 101, so we have it aswell.

I had a similar disagreement with neighbours a few years back. All it took was a few phone calls initially to report the disturbance to the local Environmental Health Agency about his constant noise. Then they monitored his house at various times with a decible reader. So the outcome was, letter, slap on the wrists , problem gone.
I do sincerely you hope to get matters resolved amicably.

Do you think I'm made of money, I'll attempt to beat him myself before paying someoone lol.

84of300, I might have to borrow that amp, although we do have a nice bass bin and 2 amps spare in the loft, seems a shame to let them go to waste

He went out before, so music is finished, thank god, peace atlast, but I think I will see him tomorrow before he gets his music on and just let him know I'm not too pleased about his noise, if he then follows on to putting it on tomorrow night to pee me off I will then call on a few on here to come and park out the front on Sunday morning to blast him out of bed .

Each time he does it, pop round at 6am the following morning to polite ask him to not keep you awake; he'll get the point that unsociable hours can cut both ways.
