The house next to mine (semi detached) is rented. The young man who has just moved in (a couple of months ago now) is a little "noisy". Here's a brief insight into his and his girlfriend's antics:
Most evenings we get a blast of his music, which can only be described as "rave" or what I imagine to be "hard house" (whatever that means). The bass is audible above fairly loud TV, and we can make out the tunes very clearly (if its something we know). The music is accompanied by what sounds like a 1 or 2-man rave, jumping about and shouting in his kitchen (unless this is on the "music"). Yes, we think its a bit odd too.
When the weather is warm, he turns it up extra loud so he can hear it at the end of his garden - and so can all the neighbours.
Anyway, we also have him arguing with his missus on a regular basis. Take last night. We were asleep, and at 1am I was awoken by what sounded like them finishing sex (through the wall). Then the arguement started. Cue a lot of both of them shouting at each other, slamming doors very loud (my ceiling "clicked" and the house shook with the vibrations). There are a lot of these arguements, usually late at night. I am usually up for work at 5am so this isnt ideal.
Now, heres something else. Whenever she is there (most nights recently), she has her (2-4 year old) son with her. So her son and them 2, with all this noise / disturbance in a small 2 bed semi in which you cant have a private conversation without the whole house hearing. So he hears it all, without a doubt. I am concerned for his welfare to be honest (though I appreciate it is little of my business).
I dont want to confront him over the noise issue, as he has never made any attempt to talk to me, despite me being out on the front garden mowing my lawn when he moved in. And he doesnt look like the friendliest of people.
So what would YOU do? I was tempted last night after half an hour laying awake, to bang on the wall and ask them if they would kindly STFU and that I could hear every word.
