A woman is furious with her neighbours because their children keep ‘shrieking non-stop’, at all hours of the day, and they keep their windows open so the whole street can hear
Almost all of us will have found ourselves annoyed by our neighbours at one point in our lives – whether they’re the type to throw parties at the weekend and play music too loudly, they never bring their bins back in on time, or they’re always working on a new DIY project that interrupts your quiet afternoons.
But one mum is at a loss over her new neighbour’s activities, as she claimed the whole family makes so much noise it sounds as though they’re in her own living room – and it’s been keeping her own kids up at night. The woman explained her neighbours also like to keep their windows open all the time, so the sound travels across the street and has been irritating several other families in the area.
In a post on Mumsnet, she fumed: “I live in a mid-terrace housing association house. Most people who live here are families with young kids so I’m no stranger to typical family noise. Never had a problem in the five years I’ve lived here. Get on with all the neighbours and never had a problem with excessive noise.
“Four weeks ago a new neighbour moved in and without being dramatic she has been screaming and shouting day and night for the whole four weeks. The problem seems to be that she has every single window and door wide open and I don’t think there’s a lot of furniture in the house so the sound is so loud and echos out. It sounds like she’s in the house with us.
