Neighbour starts petrol strimmer when in the back garden
Discussion
Make a sound recording of general garden activity such as kids playing and barbecues etc. Whilst you are at work set that recording to go off at various intervals during the day, not too loud obviously but just enough to provoke his usual activities. He'll soon get fed up of running his strimmer or get the message that it is annoying everyone.

Hi Guys,
kids go out to play or a BBQ whatever, he starts hid petrol strimmer and leaves it idling in his garden
Perhaps he`s sick of the noise from the kids playing / BBQs and would rather listen to his strimmer idling away.kids go out to play or a BBQ whatever, he starts hid petrol strimmer and leaves it idling in his garden
The neighbour could be a total pita.
But it's possible that the neighbours could be anti social when it comes to noise. Kids playing is a fact of life but allowing them to behave like feral animals is something different.
As with the 'divorcing empty nesters' thread, there's always three sides to a story - yours, theirs and then the truth.

Kids don't have to be in garden, just adults talking enjoying a hot dog, so that rules out my wayward feral children.But it's possible that the neighbours could be anti social when it comes to noise.

Just go and tell him to get f
ked. Don't be polite about it. It won't do anything, but it will make you feel better and him feel more disliked by his peers, so a plus all around.

And since he's doing it maliciously put in a formal noise complaint to council, and start keeping a record. Pursue it as quickly as possible to elevate it to them giving him warning etc
White (pink is better) noise - through your stereo speakers at a loud enough volume to drown out the strimmer when it's on - you won't be able to hear him and he won't be able to hear you.
Www.simplynoise.com - select pink noise and turn it up.
Your ears will adjust to the pink noise and you won't hear it any more.
I use it in the home office to drown out the kids when they're home - and you soon don't notice it's on.
Sound masking it is called.
