The lads next door have a big stereo

[Mikeyboy]

I have a couple of lads living in the flat next to mine who, it is gauranteed, will turn on their stereo, with its massive speakers, sub woofer and ability to go up to 11 and play, mostly middle of the road dance or 70s prog rock.
This is very annoyinga dn the music choice is mostly unforgiveable, but it usually stops at 9pm so legally theres not much I can do, i think

So I'm looking for some solutions. i have some of my own but would encourage better ideas.
idea 1) Should I blow a whole in the wall take out their expensive stereo and kill them all over their lunch as that'll teach them not to do it again
or
idea 2) Just go around and offer them some CDs of better quality music so at least i can enjoy what I am forced to hear?


they rent this place by the way if that helps with the ideas. and yes we have asked them repeatedly to be more considerate.

Get yourself some decks and do a Aerosmith/Run DMC kinda thing????

Have a look at your lease, there might be a section on noise.

Ask them to turn it down?

Or shut your windows and soundproof your house

OR.. when they are asleep.. LOADS of expanding foam through the letterbox of their house so they can't reach the sterio

The tw@ in the flat above me used to do this.

1.) Speak to all the other neighbours. Arrange so that EVERTIME this happens you complain to police and environmental health.

2.) After a while they put a form of ASBO (like a S59 for cars) against the occupants and the house.

3.) Every further complaint received is a violation of this order and they can be fined (my neighbour got £5k).

4.) The order is against the individual and the house so it stays with them if they move.

5.) As you are renting, it doesnt matter if you have an argument with them.

So most of the ideas have been to make the noise from my flat even louder than theirs?
Surely then the reason I want them to turn it down i.e. So i can watch the telly and surf the net for good porn in peace is surely lost as my head explodes with the increasing volume at which i play my copy of the latest Enya album?

My post didnt say that

Just two more noises from their flat

No. Use a silencer. You wouldn't want to upset the neighbours.

Seems a strange mix

I'd retaliate in kind maybe with a blast of Brahms or some Elgar (just to get the patriotic pulse racing) .

So you're thinking option one of my own ideas. i like it.

Oh and I own my flat by the way people, they rent the grammar school swine that they are as one suspects they can't afford to buy having spent their life savings on a bloody big stereo.

But it's not the classic image where they stick their heads through the wall...

In all seriousness it really is a strange mix. The one time they did come in late and wack up the volume (4 f'n AM) they played the theme from Baywatch!
