A letter from my local council about a complaint from a neighbour relating to loud noise

the letter asks me to refrain from playing loud music or they will consider putting a noise monitor in the neighbours home to pick up my decibels i would'nt mind but i don't play it too loud and only for short periods.

seems society the government or whoever want's us to live in silence in mute mode.

is it possible to even breathe these days without any complaints?

And so you should Lav....I can hear it all the way across the pond here in Toronto...TURN IT DOWN

Seriously, is there a local law prohibiting noise between certain times? Here in T.O it's 11:00pm to 7:00am...after that pretty much anything goes. Did the local council cite a particular by-law in it's letter?

in your shoes, i'd play it safe and get me a pair of

yeah i think it's 10pm onwards here Brutus, it does'nt give any details as to the time just a complaint about loud music.

looks like i better take Sal's advice and get a pair of headphones lol

Can't see what they're moaning about! you've got a fine taste in music matey keep it LOUD untill you have an ASBO or a TV appearance on Britains worst neighbours

been there....done that.....fook em

il'e take your comments on board guys, love the attitude he he

No problems with that here! , I will play my stereo as loud as In want!, and when that muscular knittingneedle next door says something i will tell him a different story!

all day cutting wood with his motorised saw!!

Agree with this 100 percent....as far as i know the hours are 9am till 11 pm lav.....that sharp of yours isn't that loud....pollox to em

i know Reno, can you imagine the complaints id'e get if i got some proper hi fi gear

then they would know the meaning of LOUD

I could send you my old faithful amp lav had it for over 20 years...it's rated at 150 pc 8ohms lol then see the tw@ts squirm lol....they would be glad to hear your sharp again lad lol

My buddy has the opposite problem, he's the one complaining . His neighbors (renters) two houses away are aspiring DJ's, they bump music til 4:00 - 7:00am, guess that's when they pass out lol! My buddy swears the bass ripples water in a glass on his table sometimes. He has complained to the neighbors, cops, council members to no avail. The problem is that there is noise restrictions xxDB, but this is for higher freq's and not lower freq's. My bud has since bought noise cancelling headphones to be able to sleep. Feel bad for him since he was getting 2 - 3 hrs sleep every nite for a while. Think my bud is going to move soon, must suck wearing headphones to bed everynite.

yeah i can see both sides here but my music is never played loud enough to cause that kind of noise.

anyway at the moment i will carry on regardless and if the neighbour feels the need to complain then they should come and ask me to turn it down rather than report me

Never  have had sound loudness issue's - people use common sense here - aka " Golden Rule "
