Is there anything you can do with a neighbour playing music high in the afternoon / early evening?

im 35 and ive lived in this council flat 9 years, i generally keep to myself, i live a lonesome life….dont have any relationships because ive never formed any or ever had a partner , because i have bpd mental disorder and ive had a lot of problems in life, many adversitys.

i stay in most times because i struggle just to go outside, so im always on the laptop…i live in the second floor of a 3rd storey.

its a very sad – emotionally difficult life i live, i have to be mentally strong just to get through each day.

the neighbour upstairs has lived here many years but not as long as me, hes not habitually loud all times……but he has his occasions when he plays his music loud in the weekends, late afternoon – early evening…playing savage garden at high volume…..so i can hear it down below.

i do not like savage garden at all.

it sets off the anxiety very bad when he plays his music loud, on the weekends….like now i can here the muffled booming of a stereo upstairs…playing savage garden again, over and over….that annoying squealy voice.

even though its not at night, and on weekend, is there anything i can do ?

he’s not a nice person really, so not someone who i want to have to talk to .

It sounds like you should see a doctor or psychologist, living day to day in suffering doesn’t have to be the answer. I suffer from anxiety attacks and seeking help really helped me out. As far as the noise you could leave a note asking that they not play the music so loudly or use headphones. I’m unsure of what a council flat is but If that doesn’t help contact the governing body or person of the condos about it.

no, you’re the one with the problem, not them, they play their music at reasonable times and never when you’ll probably be asleep .. i don’t know what else to suggest tho, i guess find a man you can trust and ask them to confront this guy about it, explain the situation, you have mental health problems and he’s not helping you, if he listens then great, if not then you’ll be no worse off than before

Write an anonymous letter asking him to turn the music down or you will be force to call the police.

write it in calligraphy so he thinks its an old person complaining 🙂

if it persists after that then you can put a complaint in to the police and do not feel bad about it because you gave a warning.

Depends on teh noise ordinances for your location. In my city, as long as it is after 8 in the morning and before 10 at night, they can be as loud as they want.

Call the cops for a noise compliant
