Neighbour's music
So, we had another sunny weekend and another chance to listen to neighbour's choice of music wafting over the fence! What makes them think we all want to hear it?
I've a good mind to indulge in a 24 hour marathon of "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" with the Smiths next weekend - unless anyone has any better suggestions?

Living with anti-social neighbours can be distressing. Unfortunately, two wrongs don't make a right and usually end up simply fanning the fire. I may be jumping the gun, but are your neighbours the sort to put two fingers up to anyone who suggests they might want to think of other people?

Good advice but I am reluctant to sour the budding relationship between us as relatively new neighbours so, I suppose, I will have to put up with it - for now. The choice of music is actually not too bad - I just don't choose to listen to it! Just wanted to let off steam a little.
In general terms, I don't know why peope don't think about the effect their noise has on others - be it in the house, garden or car. Weren't they brought up properly?

Hi Newgirl
Neighbour noise can be one of THE most stressful problems. You just sit around waiting for it to happen again, suffering even when they've switched the damn stereo off!
I suggest you subtley make the point that music etc can be heard beyond one's own house by turning your own radio up just for a few moments but at the opposite end of the day eg if they're noisy in the evenings, wake them up early one morning!
I hope you sort it out. I've suffered once before and it was hell....

By the way, what do the terms "starting member" and "junior member" (!) mean? Why can't I be an ordinary member?!!! I've been posting things for a few months now and I'm still in the lower grade, apparently.....!

Member status is based on the number of postings, as opposed to length of time. Keep posting Mike! :-)

Actually, last weekend was a great improvement, so we were grateful.
Perhaps our neighbour logs on here !
Perhaps its one of you!!!

I had a noisy neighbour, blaring Michael Jackson's Bad, morning noon and night.
What they didn't reaslise is that I have "The mother of all stereo's" even though I never get to try out is full potential...until...
One day I dragged out a heavy Prince track, and turned the speakers towards the offender.
After 45 mins of Prince screaming at ear bleeding levels, I stopped. I never heard the neighbours music again.
I was going to try it with the birdy song, but I realised I couldn't be THAT cruel!
