Noise from party : what's a reasonable time to wind down?

Lackadaisical

Just looking for opinions: I'm up at 2:30am in a residential area in Dublin because there's a loud party going on a few doors away.

I'm usually not bothered with this kind of stuff but there's been some woman shouting her head off and yelling stuff all night and the music seems to be getting louder.

Just wondering what do people think is a reasonable time for a house party to wind down in a built up area with lots of neighbours in close proximity?

I'm going to be wrecked tomorrow ;(

It depends on whether I like those neighbors or not.

If their country has not won the world cup anything after 23:30 should have a helicopter gunship in to wipe them all out as being scummers who are unworthy to live next to.

The Beastie Boys bravely fought for our right to party. You should honour the sacrifice of these brave men by not harshing anyone else's buzz.

Bunch of middle aged faux D4 accented types yelling about getting more woyne (wine). I can't say I'm feeling the love.

Is it a once off? I'd always be lenient of a once off, the fella/fellaette may have released massive pressure, won the lotto etc. Doing it every weekend is another thing though.

Haven't heard one before. So maybe a once off.

I'd like to give them a one off, who knows what it's for, could be all sorts but it they leave it relatively at that they are sound

Had this problem a few years back. Literally every night for 3 weeks young lads next door just finished Leaving Cert were having parties in their back garden. I couldn't sleep with the dickheads shouting and roaring, blaring music all night.

I had to knock in to them and tell them I wasn't even getting the guards - that if it happened one more night I was going to call in and hurt someone, I was that fcuking furious with them.

Thankfully that worked and there were no more parties.

I don't mind the odd Friday or Saturday or whatever. Grand. Almost every weeknight is taking the piss.

I don't envy people having to tolerate it.

When i was younger 6am was an early night...sorry

This lot are most definitely middle aged - 40s, 50s +

On a Saturday night there's no limit, and I say that as someone who has regularly had to get up at 8 or 9 on Sunday mornings in the past when I was working a marketing job - we're very much the exception and society is built around the idea of a working week and a non-working weekend, in my view it's totally unfair for those of us in the rare position of having to be up early on Sundays to deprive others of their Saturday night sessions which they've probably been waiting all week for. But that's just me. My gaff is sandwiched between a restaurant which regularly holds late night parties unofficially after closing time on Fridays and Saturdays, and a house next door where they have regular late night parties with loud music on Fridays and Saturdays as well (college aged folk) - sure it used to keep me awake when I had to get up early on Sunday mornings to work, but f*ck it, you only live once and you can catch up on sleep later on a Sunday.

Put it another way: Those who don't have to get up early during the week are very much the exception, not the norm, and those of us who do wouldn't appreciate if they imposed their rare circumstances on the rest of us by having loud late night sessions midweek. The reverse is true IMO - the weekend is the time for late night parties for most folk, so when we're in the unfortunate minority who can't enjoy it, it's just something we have to put up with. The alternative is to be a massive buzzkill and impose a weeknight-esque curfew on people trying to have a good night, and f*ck that in my opinion.

If it's not a regular thing I'll just ignore it.

Beat the **** out of who needs it basically. (I'm not saying it's the right thing to do)

You have to experience this to understand how angry you will get.

Okay Walter Mitty.

You realize trespassing and assault are kinda like, you know, illegal. And a lot more illegal than having a party. Would have been a hugely stupid threat to follow through on.

I didn't have to. There were no more parties.

They would have just laughed the guards off. I'm not allowing some fcukers next door to deprive me of sleep and therefore putting me at risk of losing my job, puts my mortgage at risk, because i'm too tired and can't think straight.

Fcuk em.

As would most normal people if they were kept awake every night due to kids partying, the odd night is ok but anyone who says they wouldn't react to it happening consistently is lying imo, no need to justify your reaction, lack of sleep especially if you're getting up for work is torture so of course you're going to address it.

They probably have one of those amps that go all the way to 11. That's why you are hearing the music that bit louder. Most standard amps only go to 10.

That's stupid. Why not just make 10 louder?

There is no real time limit,if you deem the noise too load at any time day or night, you can approach the persons to reduce the sounds and if that doesn't work call the garda ect

Yeah you hear of it a good bit now.

I'd say music should be quiet by around 2am, then people inaudible by 4am.. It all depends on the walls though and Ireland seems to have terrible soundproofing.
