Noisy new neighbours--wat to do??
-
Live in terrace house, near the corner of the street where it's a dead end. Structure of these houses means great acoustics, echos. E.g from inside my house, I can hear toilet flushes, phones ringing, showers running etc in the housees opposite or diagonal (of course, the houses beside mine also lah).
Some people moved in recently, just days ago. Into the house opposite. Today is the 3rd day running(mon-wed), that there are sounds coming from that house starting around 9am. The sounds will be on and off(4-5 outbursts every hour), intensifying around evening, and finally dying off around 11pm-this is true for past 2 nites, so I believe it won't be any different tonite. Sounds include singing, talking, laughing, shouting,clapping,guitar,basketball. If I pay attention, I can sometimes make out lyrics of what they're singing, and what their conversations are about. Most of them are young people, maybe secondary school to uni-age.
Make no mistake, I'm not against social gatherings that take place within your home. But this is the 3rd day in a row, from 9am til 11pm (which is normal waking hrs for most pple) !! So for while I'm awake, I gotta listen to this everyday?!! It's ridiculous!! I've lived here over 10 years. These pple haven't even been here a week!! I mean, be considerate!! Close your doors and turn on the air-con or something.
I haven't approached them cos I might lose control of my temper n blow up in their faces. But I'm not sure I can take this much longer. -
11pm still okie wad
not say until in the middle of the night
at least they know to stop till 11pm.. -
Give them a few more days. If the noise doesnt end, just complain la.

i mean, this is a residential area. if i were living in CBD, bad luck to me. in a commercial area, prob 9-6 is peak noise period. but these pple are hamming it up 9-11. get my point?? -

But... Maybe you can go try and find out what's going on there? Like just a friendly visit or something? Let them know your woes and hope that they'll be more considerate if you think it helps?
Else, go around your neighbourhood and see if anybody else is experiencing the same woes as you... Get together and submit a complaint. -
no choice lah i mean it sounds to me not like they want to make noise to disturb you they just talking and playing only mah, where can no sound one. you want revenge then wait till exam time then make funny noises all day lor

9am-11pm is still within the limit. there is nothing you can do.
at least you are not living in HDB. with these type of neighbours who needs enemies. -
