Quad bikes and noise...
Discussion
Is there any recourse regarding noise level of recreational vehicles?
The household behind me have been hammering quad bikes for over four hours now. It's doing my fking head in.
Behind my house is a field, then some woodlands, then one almighty massive house with a lot of land... So it's private land.
Today the noise of quad bikes has been buzzing since noon. They are seriously loud. A few neighbours have also exclaimed their disappointment in what are very anti-social noise levels.
In essence, my question is, have I got an official route to follow?
And yes, a neighbour has asked them to stop but got told to 'fk off'...
Many thanks in advance

PS - I can't move because, apart from this noise, I love where I live, my mum is a few doors down so I can look after her, and I'm mortgaged up to hilt

In my experience most people (other than farmers) who own these king of machines are anti social types, like lottery lout Michael Carroll, they get great pleasure out of making as much noise as possible.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fuddy duddy, we all like to have a bit of fun, (I used to take the baffles out of my Honda 90 when I was sixteen to make it sound like a Manx Norton), but there is a limit...

I think you should do this South Korean style.
Hire a massive wall of PA speakers and put them along the edge of your land closest to the annoying tw4ts, wait until the earliest time on a Sunday morning that the council permit noise..... then crank them up to their loudest volume with some nice death metal. If they seem to enjoy it, just change it to a Britney/Miley megamix. Continue until they get the message.

You need to get somebody to complain. Otherwise they will simply say to themselves "well, nobody complained, so it's obviously not a problem".The only drawback is whoever complains will be suspect number one when direct action is taken as a result of the complaint being ignored. So allow for that.
