Noisy neighbours - low level noise and the impact it can have

  • čas přidán 7. 08. 2017
  • People often associate nuisance noise with loud house parties and loud music coming from the neighbour’s house or garden. But nuisance noise isn't just from the obvious sources. It is anything that can be heard persistently and continually, that causes stress to the individual or individuals affected. For a noise to be a legal nuisance it must be unreasonable, excessive and interfere with the use and enjoyment of your home. Some examples include:
    • Dogs being left in a garden all day/night to bark
    • Televisions being watched in bedrooms for long periods of time, especially at night
    • Persistently wearing hard shoes inside on bare floor boards/laminate flooring, especially in flats
    • Children constantly screaming or banging, especially late at night
    We always advise that you chat to your neighbour to try resolve the issue, but when this isn’t the case, we will try to help. To report nuisance noise, visit www.luton.gov.uk/noise

    Councils know it's a problem yet every council everywhere in U.K. builds connected houses and flats with the cheapest, crappiest, tissue paper walls and floors you could possibly imagine.

    My neighbours have developed this wonderful habit of slamming their front door at random fucking hours of the day it could be at 3-5pm (which I don't mind because that's normal hours) but it could be as late as 11pm- half 1 in the morning and no joke the first time they did it I was trying to sleep and it actually woke me up. I have to sleep wearing headphones on listening to white noise I feel sick and anxious majority of the time it's crap.

    Dealing with it right now. At this minute. Thursday 4th of June 2020 at 23:16. Cupboard doors banging, dining chairs dragging, weird marble ball sound, heavy stomping, toys being rolled on the floor, front door slammed in, plug sockets going on & off.
    We had a nice old lady living here before, towards the end of her life her TV would be a bit too high but oh well the poor woman was dying, we could deal with that but 2 months ago a new family moved in. From DAY 1 I haven't had a full 8 hours sleep. I have the worst migraine that won't go away. I hate night time because I know I wont be able to go to bed until 2:00 when they finally stop their hellish noise. Then at 6:30 it starts again. I'm 17 with a manual nighttime job. I NEED MY UNINTERRUPTED SLEEP!! I'm going crazy with the noise, I just cry everytime I come home now. I hate council house's.

    Exactly. People associate loud neighbors with music and partying. I have these chinese women next door who get drunk almost every other night and talk loudly till 2 AM.

    I wish all councils took it this seriously, hundreds of thousands of lives are being ruined across the UK by selfish antisocial behavior and you feel powerless. Talking doesn't work, police don't work everything seems structured to support the offender. I've had 18 months of a noisy neighbor all through lockdown late night parties, antisocial behavior, psychotic screaming at children, swearing and music in the front and back gardens. I have to be up at 4am to clean the hospital and I've had this for the entirety of the pandemic. Thinking about filming them and posting on fb and CZcams to publicly shame them I've got so desperate and upset with it all. Tried talking to them politely and not so politely nothing helps. Totally selfish bastards.

      Wear headphones to sleep and listen to white noise it blocks out most noise especially if you are stressed. I use it sometimes when i have a headache it works well cant do much in the day though only options are soundproofing the walls sadly.

    The council speak to the neighbours and it’s your word against theirs. I have lost so much trust and respect with Councils regarding this issue. It’s not taken serious enough. This can make someone seriously unwell! and seriously damage their mental health!
    1.There should be someone available to visit the flat when this is happening. 9/10 neighbours like this have been complained about before.
    2. Make it illegal to have tvs on shared walls.
    3. Surround sound should not be allowed in a flat. You want surround sound? Live in a house or somewhere where your surrounds don’t have to hear it. Maybe la student hall would be more suited?
    I know allot of good people suffering with this issue, who have jobs and work long shifts. It’s wicked!
    Councils need to step up not just say they are stepping up.

      I'm going thru this in Texas right now as I'm typing. Every night my upstairs neighbors feel the need to invite people over, play music, and talk really loud until 3 or 4 a.m. including the weekends. One of them even laughs like a hyena and when she yells it's like a dying animal. I started recording every thing on my phone so I can play it back to the police and property manager as my proof that I'm not exaggerating on the noise. My lease is up in a few months, Thank God! I wish the new neighbors lots of luck.

    I started using earplugs on nights when fireworks are going off. I found that if you pay a bit more and get good ones (as opposed to the cheap foam ones that don’t really do anything) I can barely hear any noise and can easily sleep. So, if the neighbours are having a party or watching a film on full volume late at night, I just pop them in and the problem vanishes.
