Did you ask them politely to keep the level of the noise down? If this did not produce results, in the U.S., it would be grounds for calling the police. Nearly all communities have an ordinance that requires a reasonable amount of quiet after 10 pm.

Hello bellis716!!!! My grandparents did that before but no they did not stop and they even get louder and louder..Maybe because they get angry when my grandparents tried to talk to them..You are lucky to have that in your country Thanks for sharing..

actually, if I cannot sleep because the neighbors with loud music then I will close my ears with a pillow. even though I repeatedly annoyed with them but went out of their right ear to left ear, because it is their habits. It seems you need a silencer wall, so that the voice would not be as loud as any incoming.

I like the snapshot of the sleeping dog over the word sleeping Yes sleep like a dog it is not a metaphor it is true sleeping is a natural phenomena but you get sound sleep only if you follow the natural laws of living I do sympathize with you for your loss of sleep due to neighbor disturbance now there is a remedy for such occasions I do not know it would work or not Adopt a non caring attitude and take a sleeping pill which is mild and forget every thign and sleep in my 78 years of life I do not remember a single day when inspite of disturbace iwould have mised my sleep I donot care sleep comes Any way I am with yu for your sleep loss which mighthave been covered by now and the disturbing neighbors may have larnt there lessons

Not really. We live in a peaceful place. It's quiet here but it doesn't mean that not many people live here. it's just that this is a quiet neighborhood. So far, I haven't experience something like that.

I also have neighbors like that, they're having a party out loud all night, but I don't bother because if I keep noticing it, I'll just give myself a headache like what you had said and anyway it will end soon. Complaining too much wont give u any but bad feeling and stress. And maybe, someday you'll have a party like such, when you complain they'll just do the same and end up with bad "neighbor relationships"... Happy posting =)

Hello there skylovergirl! So why does it have to be all night???I wonder how many occasions they have to celebrate in a year...Well complaining is all I can ever do actually that is my way of releasing my stress and I do that with myself only I don't want to get into their party it's their personal thing..my family had party like that but always cautious of the noise..we don't party shouting drunk and everything.. Well I think the bad relationship will start by the time one becomes less considerate than the other Thanks for sharing..

I never had such neighbours---if i had such ones i would have complained about them after the initial warning.they should get things going but not at the cost of others sleep and its ridiculous to bear such ones.People in my place celebrate marriages in such a noisy manner---good that it they celebrate for one day lol.great day.

You should make a complain about that. You can actually call the authorities to call their attention. We had the same situation and we called 911. I dont think its rightful for them to do that at all. Its okay to be noisy but when time comes that people in the neighborhood is already sleeping, then they should always be considerate. Well, not just them of course but also all of us.

Hello p3ks626..I agree with you especially when people are tired the whole day and need to get up early because they have work on the next day..It's really more than ok if they do it on daytime or until midnight but they did it until the next day beyond 4am.... It's too bad because the celebration also fell on a weekday..well we don't want to stop or interfere with their party because it's their thing..but how I wish that they became more considerate..because they started yelling and singing out loud when they got drunk Thanks for your sharing

I could imagine how annoyed you are. I have noisy neighbors also, I couldn't understand why they always yell, as if it's their way already of normal conversations. Yell with high pitch notes. And they don't mind their neighbors and the time. very inconsiderate and uneducated. I am just glad that now I put air condition on, with close windows, I could faintly hear them already. I feel relived and at peace. happy mylotting.

yeah,i've already experienced that.my mother was confined that time in a hospital and she was in a ward (where there was 6 patients).we can't really sleep because of the one patient who is a grandmother and is like talking like a child.she can't sleep and always asking for something or murmuring something that is really annoying.but what else can we do it's a ward and you can't stop someone who is behaving like a child.she's like having to forget many things because of elderliness.well,my mother is really irritated that time.how gladly we were when my mother replaced a room.

Hello annavi! Oh yeah you are right she must have lost some of her memory that's why she's acting like that..Yeah even if we don't want to be irritated with someone sometimes we can't really help it..I understand that your mom also needs rest that time because she don't feel good as well..and we can't blame ourselves to be in the hospital ward we also have rights to sleep and rest..well I think it's a good decision that time.. Thanks for sharing..

uhm...i experience that we are the one who are very noisy because we always have an party here in our house. even we have a celebration we are drinking and talking so loud but i think no one in our neighbors are thinking that way to us. because we are not in the village that so quiet at all we are just in a small barangay that there are so many people outside even at the middle of the night so we are really free to be noisy but not so much because out parents is already sleeping at that time so we can minimize also out voices. but for you my friend it is really hard to sleep in that situation but just give them an respect for the celebration.

Hello jazper26! Hmmmm so you are the noise makers in your place i see ! Oh so it's really usual to your place to stay late at night maybe that's the reason why your neighbors don't think of that way as I/we do because they are used to that or because they even do the same thing..am I right??? Some people have tasks or jobs the whole day and they need rest and sleep at night..like me I have a scheduled exam for a new job early in the morning that I rescheduled because I don't have good sleep.. We can give respect to other people why not but the thing is are they giving the respect back to us as well-for me that's the annoying part.. .. Thanks and Happy mylotting..

yes,i have.when i was a college student,some classmates in our dormitory were usually so noisy that we couldn't sleep well including me.after that,i left the dormitory num.113 and found a better one where everyone went to bed on time every evening.i thought it was right to leave num.113.so don't be worried about anything .we can live after leaving anywhere or anyperson.

Hi, khaezi. We have noise around here a lot But when my heat or air is on, it drowns out any annoying noise outside or around me. You should contact your manager about this, if you are renting. And if you are owning, you may need to call the police. And my neighbor down below us thought that we was loud.

I did experienced things like this with my neighbor. I almost call the police to stop them. I agree, it is very annoying and I hate this kind of people.

I have to experience it daily.At around five in the morning,there is a place of worship nearby our house and they will play religious songs on full volume.It is so frustrating. Getting up at five in the morning and feeling sleepy all day is very annoying.

Hello bamrahkirti! Oh so sad!!! I agree sleeping late and waking up early because of noises ( not the alarm ) really gives you this bad feeling and sometimes bad mood as well..especially if you are the type of person who really can't sleep or can't learn to sleep with them.. Thanks and Happy mylotting..
