Constant Chatter

I hear ya..where I used to live the neighbors were constantly hanging around outside. I hated it. They were always there watching you come and go. yakking, whatever, it was like you had no privacy. That is probably why I moved somewhere where no one was close by. More people live here now, which is fine, I don't have to see them if I don't want to..but the other place got on my nerves something awful. I am not that social.In the last place I couldn't look out my kitchen window without seeing them. When did they find time to work? It seemed like they were always outside!

I have a neighbor across the street who is LOUD. She's 82, drives all the time, and her car stereo is aways blaring. She loves her music! However, it's always rap music, which I truly do not like. When she gets home, she puts her car in the garage and shuts the door. Then this is the part I don't understand--she leaves the car stereo on, as loud as it will go. For at least an hour or two, so we get a concert. Several neighbors have called the police on her for noise before, I have not as they usually take care of it. One neighbor asked her if she was hard of hearing, she claims not to be. She is a very unusual 82 year old...and very loud! Luckily, she has a son in a town not far away and spends a lot of time there, so she isn't always home to give us a concert. When she's home, we know it!!

@ambiepam People can be so unaware. I’d have to say something.

Yep. That's another thing I resent about this place. It's rarely quiet. We're near a small airport and there are always planes going overhead. The school opposite is noisy but only for 20 minutes twice a day when parents pick up and drop off their kids.

It can definitely be annoying. What I also hate is when a car is idling for a long time, especially with the radio on.

I guess they didn't know they were talking so loud

I can definitely understand what you mean. I don't necessarily want to hear people talk in the hall from inside my place.

If I hear any voice down below or outside I have to consider if I can still understand English being alone and in the quiet so long,

That's one part of apartment life that would really bug me.

It's why I love being on a mountain away from neighbors. In the summer, people on the road above the mountain has visitors that ride their UTVs around and it gets noisy with that. Thankfully, it's not all the time.

The more we try to keep the noise out of the way, it happens the more we get distracted by it. The chatter can be short but not long enough to become a lasting nuisance to others.

I'm sorry the people ruined your peace and quiet.

I would prefer to hear my tv than the constant chatter outside.

If you don't like it you should let them know.
