    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.

    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?

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

    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.

    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.

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

    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!!!

    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!

    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.

    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

    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!

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

    If so, I'd move.

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