Constant issues with noise (Mod Warning on Post #45)

    So I am living next to a family who are currently celebrating Ramadan. This has just added to the noise problem, its quiet all day and then from 21.00 to 01.00 its constant in and out banging doors, outside at midnight talking loudly. This is an ongoing issue. I have approached them multiple times where I thought it went well, but they always end up reverting back.

    With young kids I thought grand after 9 or 10 it will be quiet in the house but the kids are outside at midnight also, they must be falling asleep in school.

    This is not a racist thread or anything of the sort but my experiences with this the last year shows me that I would avoid a similar situation at all costs if I move

    Just remember you can never be sure who will move in or buy a connecting house. Only way to solve is a remote house in he middle of nowhere.

    I totally agree but mutual respect goes a long way, the majority do not behave like this.

    Detached house in the city is the way to go

    Its Ramadan, it is what it is. Buy earplugs and perhaps take time to talk to them about their cultures traditions and celebrations, Perhaps even see if you can join them, I'm sure they'd appreciate that more then the angry intolerant neighbor they're currently having deal with!

    People can celebrate whatever they like but it shouldn't infringe on others. OP seems to have asked reasonably to keep it down at night? Not that mental.


    That's pretty ****ty OP. At least you have license for a wild new years party I guess?:o

    Guys calm down - chill

    Evd-Burner- no calling people fools- if you disagree with what another poster posts- refute it factually, without resorting to insults- and if you don't feel you can do so- do not respond- use the 'report post' function to bring it to the attention of moderators and we can assess it.

    Yea I live beside a family also semi detached.
    And they do be noisy late at night, even on a school night the kids would be running around at midnight.
    It is what it is. I wouldn’t be one to complain , id be more along the lines of they won’t complain when it’s my turn.
    So when it’s my turn to bring kids to school, I wake everybody by sticking on some loud music which would shake windows at 7am for a while.

    Im honestly really surprised at these responses. My neighbour two doors down is in the middle of Ramadan and a few of us were over at his gaff the other night. We're decent friends and i'm really unsure why a suggestion to get to know and be friends with your neighbours who celebrate Ramadan has been taken so oddly?

    Ramadan only lasts for a month each year!

    Yeah OP should take days off work to sleep during the day so OP can spend his nights celebrating something he has no connection too.

    So everyone has to suffer the consequences of no sleep for a month.

    Also, as i stated this is an ongoing issue and its only been made worse with Ramadan

    Because you can celebrate with disturbing people. I have to be up at 5am, now i dont expect silence from 9pm to get my 8 hours but i dont expect to be woken up at midnight and 1am with thuds from banging doors.

    I am wrecked in work over this, so by your views i should join them and forget about work for a month.

    This should never become the social norm.

    From what I can gather they are relatively quite for the rest of the year? Let them have their few hours Craic after Sun down for how ever long Ramadan lasts. 1am isn't outrageous, that's what you get when you are joined on to neighbours, sometimes their timetable doesn't sync with yours.

    Hi Declan

    I said i need to be up at 5am. Regardless of what the rest are saying no one should have to tolerate this.

    1am is pretty rude in my opinion, on a week night? I'd expect neighbours to have some consideration pretty much any time after 11, whether it's a big sesh or getting in touch with the big man in the sky.

    Approach and state your case if no joy after that start playing Ghost Town by The Specials loudly on a loop after 1am, then play the call to prayer at sunrise in case they sleep in. They might get the message then.

    I’m always amazed by people who have no consideration for their neighbours. Take my neighbour whose dog is in the garden barking every night. Even after explaining the dog is waking us up at all hours, it’s still happening and she doesn’t care.
    Ramadan or not Ramadan, it’s irrelevant! Everyone should have basic consideration for others.

    Off topic, but yesterday I saw a guy parking in a disabled space and leave the hazards on, off he went to get a coffee. Things like this annoy the hell out of me!

    OP my advice is if this family is renting, call the letting agency and ask them to have a word. Good luck, I feel your pain.

    i have approached multiple times. This will be the 5th time.

    The father cant speak english and tries to translate through his 9 year daughter which makes it even worse.

    Half tempted to take a third party case to the RTB to force the landlord to install soft close on the front and back doors and do some slam proofing internally
