    If they couldn't hear the rockband, how did they know to complain then?

    I'm completely amazed that the police showed up for this. I mean completely amazed. I would go as far to speculate that this wasn't the first complaint they'd put against you. Also I'd hazard a guess its not the first time the police have had to intervene, otherwise unless there were some bored officers in the area about to go off shift, I just can't see why they'd respond to this.
    guess you didnt read the whole thread? the police have been involved before yes. im not going through it again but a fight broke out,

    If they couldn't hear the rockband, how did they know to complain then?
    Once again go back through the thread and read it and you would know. you can hear the music out the front, AND that was the other side who said they couldnt hear it, not the jips who complained.

    Razer, thats a bit of order. Nibbler only asked a question. A simple, curtious answer would have sufficied, not the rude answer you provided.

    Re: Noise complaints

    why dont you just go on Jeremy Kyle?

    Im in a similar but less serious situation with our neighbours. When we moved in we started getting letters through the door about us being noisey. The first one claimed they had come upstairs and banged on the door for 5-10 mins as our television was so loud they couldnt sleep. It explained how they had to get up early for work and the walls are thin etc etc and they went on to ask us to be quiet after 10PM. Now in our contract it states 11PM as quiet time but we figure, what the hell we dont wanna get peoples backs up so we just started turning down the TV a bit earlier.

    A while after that some of my flatmates friends from home came down and they had a bit of a bender over a bank holiday weekend. About a week later, i had gone to italy with work and when i came home i discovered my flatmate had another letter claiming we had been repeatedly noisey, the sound of the toilet flushing is like someone is using it in their own flat, footsteps are really loud and threatening to contact the company who own the building. Him being a bit of a worrier ended up tiptoeing around and changing his entire lifestyle just to fit around them. When i came back a month later i was pretty angry that he had let them make his life miserable and told him to just ignore it and get on with his life.

    About a month later his mates came down for another weekend and we figure, ok we will let them know people are coming so they can make arrangements or whatever. Soon after that we had another letter saying 'thanks for letting us know but your bed is really creaky and noisey. We have had to sleep on the sofa with earplugs'.

    What the hell do they expect me to do, replace my bed?

    The guy came up the other night asking if we were playing guitar. The noise was coming from upstairs but we could barely hear it. He looked at me and was like 'that must be loud in your flat' and i said, 'well no not really but it doenst bother me anyway'

    The main problems i have with all this is we have neighbours above us and yeah they can be quite noisey but its not so bad that it keeps us up at night and we havent had complaints from any of our other neighbours. The walls are not thin at all, they are thick concrete and the floors are carpeted so i dont see how they can hear us so badly? My theory is that they heard us one night and since then just listen out for it.
    There is being considerate and then there is just taking the mick and personally i feel that their constant intrusion into our life is far more inconsiderate than our levels of noise!

    Sorry for that life story, just seemd relevent. Thanks for some of the links on here though, very useful information!

    I think you missed my point.

    They have probably notified the authorities about the noise levels before, and the rozzers probably think very little of the pair of you, and believe they have to intervene to prevent fisticuffs.

    There are cranks in this world, but with things like this it does sound like there are three sides to this story.

    Re: Noise complaints

    the truth!

    I try to always remind myself of this, wish I had more in the past, I had a noise complaint, first term, first year of uni from the girl adjacent, the hour, 3pm on a Sunday.

    It wasn't the music, it wasn't the sound effects of the computer games, it was the fact there were about 8 of us going "burn mother[caring for person]" and screaming other profanities. At the time I thought she was just a royal pain in the arse, but I can understand how she would take offence to our fun and games. Especially because she was a sad shut in.

    Re: Noise complaints

    I had some guy in the room below me at uni complain that at 7.30 AM every morning I tapped my fingers on my desk. I told him perhaps it was my typing on my keyboard, checking mail and such before going to lectures. He insisted that was not the case, and it was me tapping my fingers incessantly.

    I'm not sure if I ever stopped doing whatever it was I wasn't doing anyway, but a few months later the pill-popping Richard Head nearly set fire to the whole block by passing out whilst grilling sausages at 2.30am.

    It seems he was a lot better at annoying other people than I could ever hope to be.

    the cop said that if he gets a second complaint today, they would contact environmental health and come to my house and take my system away!

    is this allowed? i thought it would need to be proved? surely it would? our neighbour is the kind that makes complaints about every little thing, and lies about them, there has been a number of times when they have complained about music "blaring" from our property when we only had the tv on! its getting pathetic now and i need to find out our rights, housing officer said its ok as long as its at an acceptable level, the cops who came before (when next door lied about us playing music) said we could and never mentioned it before.

    and just to make one thing clear as im getting fed up of your snarling comments, if you have a problem with an UNRELATED thread i made, and insist on bringing it up dont! it ent needed, im not aiming this at anyone im just making it clear as its nothing to do with this thread and seems to "somehow" get into every thread i make ta!
    There is no rule in the land that states its OK to play music at anytime and it be legal.

    The fact is, your neighbours have a right to quiet enjoyment of their property and they are exercising this right.
    Unfortunately for you, you both have different ideas from what is acceptable and what isn't.

    That's because our legal system is quite explictly based on "You can't do this, everything else is ok", to the best of my knowledge our only real piece of "you can do this" law is the Human Rights Act, but there may be other examples of EU law coming across that are along these lines.


    So yeah, he can play whatever music he wants PROVIDING it doesn't break the laws that say when you can't.

    Re: Noise complaints

    But while he may have the right to do that, with rights come responsibilities, and he has the responsibility to ensure that it doesn't cause undue annoyance to the neighbours.

    And while the neighbours may have a right to peace and quiet (whether or not enshrined in law, they too have a responsibility not to abuse that right by(say) insisting on absolute silence 24x7.

    I'm not passing judgement on whether or not he has, or whether the neighbours are excessively sensitive, but these sorts of disputes are better resolved amicably if possible. Although it seems that the dispute with the neighbours may have gone beyond amicable resolution.

    Do they have a young baby or something?

    Noisy neighbours are a PITA, but anything before 9pm (within reason) is surely acceptable as long as it's not a constant drone all day
