Homeowner Is ‘Very Overwhelmed' by the ‘Constant Noise' Her Neighbors Make While Entertaining Guests
A Mumnet user vented about how her neighbors are loud while entertaining guests during the week and on weekends
Wondering if others have experienced this, the homeowner sought feedback about what the 'normal' amount of noise is
Some fellow users validated her concerns, with one person writing, 'It would drive me mad and I would probably move'An 'overwhelmed' homeowner is making some noise in an online community forum to garner feedback about noisy neighbors.
The homeowner explained on Mumsnet how her neighbors are loud on the weekends and during the week while entertaining guests.
'My neighbors constantly have friends around and they entertain outside on their patio, which is right next to our patio,' she wrote. 'Sometimes there is lots of loud music from around lunchtime until 10 p.m. on the weekend.'
'There has been mid-week loud music when their kids entertain,' she added. 'I can hear it everywhere in the garden and in the house with the windows open — unavoidable as it's hot.'
The woman said that she also enjoys having friends over 'like once a month,' so not as frequently as her neighbors.
'As it is hot, their kitchen doors are all open,' she wrote. 'I get to 'enjoy' their TV mid-afternoon, radio all morning, etc. These aren't super loud, but it all adds up. They also blast music really loudly while they mow the lawn.'
'I am feeling very overwhelmed with the constant noise from next door,' she continued. 'They are not friendly people and I doubt approaching them would do anything. I am also aware it could be much worse!'
