Noisy Neighbors

[ReadmeByAmy]

I remembered when I was still in my home country we had neighbors who are always noisy and shouting with each other either inside or outside their house. You can always hear that they are always angry to each other shouting. It is either husband and wife or the parents and their children. What a noisy family and it really irritates our nerves and scare us sometimes. There are instances when they are throwing things to each other and asking one to go out of the house and even they are running outside in the street fighting. What scares us is when they are fighting in the middle of the night you will really feel nervous as if they will kill each other. Then the whole neighborhood had taken an action and they reported them already to the police and they are told to leave our place. That is why when they are gone our neighborhood was already calm and peaceful. Do you ever experience to have this kind of neighbors in your place?

OMG! I have just the same kind of neighbors right now and they could really get so annoying and scary at the same time. They are way too many in their family and they all live in one house. They would often fight, shouting at each other loudly then we will hear some loud crying. It happens often because the head of their family is a drunkard, and when he gets drunk, the fighting begins. What really scares me is the fact that he has a gun and he would even sometimes open fire when he's so drunk. I'm worried for my family's safety because of the possibility of any of us being hit by a stray bullet. Oh how I always wish for them to leave this place.

gracer Before we are in the same scenario our noisy neighbors they are also many in the family. The children who are married are also living there together with their family. Just imagined all of them are shouting to each other even in the middle of the night that we are sleeping already and as if something strange had happened already which will really makes you scared and worried most of the time. Thanks to some of our neighbors who told to the police about them that is why they are no longer in our place. You are right that if you have the same kind of neighbors you will always worry for your family's safety. If they are still in your place all in your neighborhood can complain about them because it is your rights to be living in a peaceful community.

Well... Don't get me started about neighbors... I live in the 2nd floor of an apartment and we have a wood floor. The neighbor below is a 80+ woman completely deaf that maxs the volume of her TV, so it's insane to listen to that and even my floor is shaking with the volume. I had to call the police a number of times and it's a really stressful situation.

It's hard to deal with noisy neighbors especially if you own a home. If you rent then you can move more easily. I used to live in a flat and most neighbors were fine, but some owners rented out their flats and you can't control them.


I also rented and the place was ideal except a neighbor decided to buy his son a drum kit and they left the windows open to play all day. It was dreadful and because I was only renting I couldn't really say anything, and the child was not good. That's one thing you can't predict; what the neighbors are like, and it's important because it can make your life a misery.

Our noisy neighbor is not regularly noisy but only occasionally particularly if there is a birthday celebration. They would put up some tables right in the street (our road is a cul de sac so they can do that since there are no vehicles passing). And aside from drinking and talking with their loud voices, they also have a karaoke machine with a microphone where they sing so loud until past midnight. One time my husband was so peeved that he wanted to confront the noisy neighbors but I prevailed on him because it may cause a quarrel. I called up the community officer and reported the matter because the noise is already getting to our nerves. Unfortunately, there was no action on the part of the community officer. They have that kind of noisy celebration about every month.

Living in an apartment building there are always noisy neighbors. Some people are just loud. I dislike when you have neighbors who are arguing and fighting all the time. It really bothers me and stresses me out. I hate conflict so it rattles me when I hear them going at it and being so mean and hateful towards each other whether they are inside their apartment or outside the building. I have to wonder sometimes why people are living together if they can't even get along for a couple of hours it seems. I have also had the partying neighbors who are loud playing music and singing but they don't bother me near as much as the neighbors who continuously arguing.

Usually my neighbors are pretty good, but once in a while their kids (about my age, mid 20s) have loud parties until 4 in the morning. I've sort of got a system: I go over with some beers and basically say "okay you guys can turn it down, or you can let me be part of the problem", I've met some fun people as a result! I remember once being woken up in the middle of the night by a girl outside on the patio, slurring and yelling about how "everbodythinks immmmm soooo stupid but you know what i can be...pretty smart...too...y'know...", I called down to her and her boyfriend- we shared a moment of knowing eye contact before he facepalmed and ushered her back inside.

Neighbors? My own parents were like that before divorce, they didn't stop shouting each other even during vacations trip. Good riddance to that dysfunctional marriage, both are pretty aggressive people and, despite of I being their son and secretly wish they were together again, I'm aware that for the sake of our sanity and happiness, that will never happen.

I always try to have the top floor of an apartment complex to avoid this. The last time I was on the bottom floor, our neighbor had a really aggressive dog that would lunge at me while I carry in groceries or enter my apartment even though he was on a heavy chain. It would cause my heart to leap out of my chest at the mere thought of the chain coming loose. I once got enough courage up to complain to the apartment manager but she just shrugged and ignored me. She told me that she couldn't do anything about it until I actually got attacked. Other than that, I don't actually mind noisy people, because I have soundproof headphones so I can ignore it. Though there have been times that I considered calling the police because I thought someone was getting hurt but it usually ended with a break up.

I really really agree with you one hundred and one percent! Oh my, neighbors such as them sometimes makes me question why on earth I was given neighbors from hell. I know it's really bad to wish ill against others but my gosh, I consider them as the rotten part of a supposedly beautiful apple. One of our neighbors, a family relative who is also annoyed by them has suggested that we all file a petition against them so they would be forced to leave our community. We used to have a happy and peaceful compound until they came along and ruined our harmony.

I've been lucky enough now to have such an experience. It must have been hell for you to be stuck next door to people who are so noisy and violent. I don't think I would have been able to put up with such noisy neighbors for any length of time, and I probably would have moved or something. Lol...

This is exactly what I am trying to point out why I had shared this thread based on my own experience. Before ur neighborhood also was peaceful and quiet especially at night until when they came everything had changed and we are glad that they are not living there anymore. And it is such a great relief for all us in the neighborhood.

We also had a nearby neighbor that when they are celebrating their birthdays or any special occasion in their family they always had a party and are playing loud music and singing as well. This really annoys me especially it is already very late at night and the party is not yet over. And we cannot sleep in the house. Just imagine those who will go to work early the next day will suffer of not getting enough sleep just because of them.

I am sorry to hear what had happened to your parents. Sometimes in our life there is a reason for everything and one day who knows they will be together again and your whole family will be happy again. Just pray and wish for the best in your family. There is nothing impossible with God.

I can't seem to stop but I just want to share what happened last night that still puzzles me until now. It was around 1 a.m. and our dog just couldn't stop barking. Knowing that whenever our dog barks, it is definitely barking at a person. But it was 1 a.m. so I wondered what was going on. I tried to peek out of my bedroom window without turning on the lights so I won't be seen from outside. I saw my neighbors head of the family coming from our garage. Our garage is detached from our house and part of it also serves as our storeroom for old and unused stuff. I didn't go out or try to confront him because I was afraid but until now I'm wondering what he was doing in our property in the wee hours of the night. To make things even worse again, I woke up today from the loud sound of their stereo playing.

I have to agree, in that it is no fun having to get up for the work te next morning when neighbors keep you up with their partying. I think you should have respect for your neighbors and quiet down at a not so late hour. Usually quiet time is around 11pm which is reasonable. I know sometimes the police have to come by and quiet them down but then they will just start up again once the police are gone.

I live in the country so I don't have to deal with noisy neighbors. The only thing that happens here is when there are celebrations like 4th of July people fire guns off and stufff. I don't like that and think it is dangerous. People have been hit by stray bullets in other areas so it could happen here too. I think people don't think how their actions actions are going to affect other people. They just do things.

What do you think your neighbor had did in your property in that wee hours of the night? If ever I will encounter the same scenario I will be afraid also to confront my neighbor.. Just observe your neighbor cause it might happen again. Be careful and keep safe always.

 

[gracer]

That's what I'm still trying to figure out until now but I really couldn't think of something reasonable for his roaming around our property in the wee hours of the night. I don't want to accuse him of anything but I can feel that he's definitely into something. I'm just afraid of confronting him because I'm afraid for our safety. They're a lot in their family and he has a gun in his possession so all I could do right now is be extra cautious and I made sure that someone knows about what he did the other night. Thank you so much for wishing us safety.
