I’m not against noisy neighbours during normal hours. Say about 8:00am to about 11:00pm. Even though I rarely get up before 10:00am. I’m a good sleeper with noise all around me. Any sailor on a warship quickly learns to ignore noises and get to sleep at the drop of a hat, because a ship never sleeps, except in dry dock. In fact being responsible for various bits of equipment like radar etc I was awake before being called if the radar aerial stopped rotating for some reason. I could ‘hear’ the missing noise. If that makes sense? Electricians would “KNOW” if a ship’s power generator suddenly stopped.

But for me people can make as much noise as they like during the day, although the boom, boom music can be a bit wearing at times, especially in summer when most of my windows are open. If it gets too much my stereo bangs out things like military marches, traditional jazz and big bands to drown it out. It’s amazing how quickly the boom, boom music gets turned down so I turn mine down too in appreciation. And we live in harmony.

Night time is a different matter though and people should think of their neighbours.

Sadly in today’s me, me, me, me, me, me, me society, noisy neighbours are becoming a problem for some.
