Would You Move

james66

If you could hear every sound next door. I can them snoring, taking a sh!t, having sex. I cannot play music even at low volume past 6pm or they complain. This is not an apartment where you would expect to hear everything Its a house :mad:

Tell them to put in some toilet paper first. Helps avoid the plops.

Its not the plop its the noise from someone in great pain trying to evacuate a massive log. Its the same guy every day.

This leads to 67% of all toilet blockages if using more than 3 sheets.

I would start inviting people over and staging fake fights, orgies, drug deals and get the neighbours to move

I like to live dangerously. If that's the cost one must pay for a plop-free experience, so be it.

You can hear somebody taking a crap in the house next door?

Are you the Bionic Woman?

Femme_Fatale

If it's straightforward to move (i.e. you're renting, no kids) yeh definitely do. Why not?

sopretty

I lived next to c*****ds like these for 3 years. Worst three years of my life. If I sneezed they were complaining about the noise. Complained one day about the desperate noise the night before, when nobody was in my house lol!
Not worth it for the torture. Move.

Sir Arthur Daley

Would have to move to a detached house as all semi detached that were built in the boom are the same, no sound proofing at all.

LynnGrace

Yes, if I could get away from that, by moving, I would.

sopretty

Would you believe my next door neighbours actually told me that they could hear my stairs creaking and that I was waking their child???????????????? Mad yokes.

Was it a semi detached modern house?
Yeah going to move **** this.

Yes it was unfortunately. I've moved and I still hear the same level of noise from new neighbours, but they have never mentioned noise coming from my house and I'm here just over a year. It's just random creaking, or you'd hear them cleaning out the fireplace, or hoovering and hitting off skirting boards. Sometimes it sounds like it's someone in my house coming down the stairs. Doesn't bother me one iota. People have to live!!!

Yes I woyuld move. Life is too short. I lived in a house about 5 years ago and I heard everything next door - baby crying, rows, the lot...and I moved.

Creaking and hoover sound normal. I can hear them talking in a low tone in their beds at night. And the snoring is unreal.

Lol. Everyone accepts a certain level of noise in a semi-detached. Apart from the f*ck-wits I lived next to. Apparently because they had a baby, I had to tiptoe around MY HOUSE!

Why should you have to move OP,they are the noisy ones,keep complaining to them or if they complain to you again tell them to to sound proof their house

I'd say that too if the neighbours' behaviour was evict-worthy, but it doesn't seem to be. Just seems to be a case of non-existent sound-proofing.

ElizaT33

Sympathy for the OP. I lived in semi-detached for 6 years. Walls like cardboard and next door neighbour had wooden floors upstairs and on stairs (should not be allowed!). Was like an elephant going to bed every night ...! I MOVED .... and can happily say that I've an acre of land around me and now can only hear the birds in the trees!!:D:D

LynnGrace

Agree, a certain level is acceptable. I really wouldn't want to be hearing what the OP is hearing though.

why fake it?you'd have a great few months partying,until the wa#%rs moved out and you'd be left with a tasty wad of cash from all the illegal gambling at the fights,drug deals and orgy tickets and just buy it off their landlord with your profits from the aforementioned deals and sh1te as load as you want.are they also renting?

..and just knock through to give yourself a detached house with no noise issues. Simples!

GuyFawkes

Is it one of those sh1tty houses from an entire estate of them that popped up between 2004 - 2009?

If so, I'd move.

MJ23

Are the walls made of paper?

Jonny Blaze

Take up the drums... they'll be moving in no time!

biko

Indeed, move. No-one should have to hear their neighbours doing various "stuff".

Graces7

gave up on neighbours decades ago..live now in an isolated secluded farmouse in the boonies.

only problem... you guessed,,, a farmer from four miles away who owns land uphere.

seems much worse in ireland than eslewhere,,, wonder why

Agent Smith

Make As Much noise during the day as possiable. Then at 5:59pm, be as Quiet as a Churchmouse.


You get to be noisy, they get quiet evenings...


That! or just move.

Ye I would, wouldn't be able to stick that tbh, next time you move be more aware of how old the place is, type of walls/windows/floors, I know often it's hard to know how soundproof a place will be before you move in but you can get some clues.

Yeah exactly. The next time they moan at you just tell them that it goes both ways and you don't appreciate listening to them roidin' and shoitin' rings around themselves. As soon as they know you can hear them too they'll soon change their tune.

Document every sound, along with the date and time and copious notes. Prepare a full monthly report and drop it in their letterbox regularly.

I nearly went next door to complain about the noise from the neighbours, untill I realized that it wasn't my neighbours, it was my neighbours two doors down. The party noise was travelling through two sets of walls and it actually sounded like it was coming from next door! It really goes to show how shocking building standards are. There needs to be laws regarding the soundproofing of apartments, interrupted sleep is an increecing physical and mental health issue for people thanks to the inadequite standards in the industry.

Not good for your mental health OP

get out of there and rent somewhere built before the bubble

Wossack

wouldnt move

in fact, I'd take the opportunity to start learning the violin

Exactly, and they must know well if they can hear noise from your house, that you can also hear them.
Seriously, this can actually be very wearing on your health, if I were you, I would prefer to move.

Gather as many insets and creepy crawleys as you can in a large jar, fill the jar up with all sorts of multiple legged things.
Pour contents in through their letter box.
I saw it in a film, Pacific Heights.

Yeah try that. Things seemed to work out pretty well for Michael Keaton in that movie if I remember correctly.

buy a load of prune juice and leave it on the doorstep with a note that it will help with those tough moments, should help with part of the problem

I call it the silencer. It helps stop toilet water splashing back on your bum hole too.
