keep a log of when the noise starts and ends i.e.
Date, time started, time finished, degree of noise like loud very loud. If you have a recorder and can record their noise great you can say the date and time etc. So a second record.
This will help if the council get involved re arbitration or noise abatement. I know some councils have confiscated equipment in the past.

Shelly is right about the baby intercoms. When our little lad was a baby we actually heard our neighbour having a wee then flush the toilet and turn the taps on to wash her hands.

We had to let them know just in case we heard something we really shouldn't have. lol

Oh, and it wasn't a next door neighbour, she lives opposite us so they can pick noise up from quite a distance.

Reminds me of a time, when there was a very noisy party at the back of us. We were OK as we slept in front of house, but my neighbours were kept awake. So they went round to the next street in their car, in the morning, and played music outside the house, while they were sleeping in.

I did laugh at this.

Good afternoon to one and all.
Liz, I got a sleep thanks.

My other neighbours on the other side don't have a carpet on the hall or the stairs and have a young kid that clomps about her shoes don't think they have slippers. Anyway waiting for the council to come to uplift the sound recording equipment, and I swear if it comes backs 'everyday household noise' I'll let the kids make as much noise as they want when they're here. If you can't beat them join them lol

Can't win unless I go out all day

Vods,
Not sure if we have met but may I offer a small bit of advice, we have bad neighbours and we had to keep a record of everthing that they did, times dates etc. Also you must keep onto the police even if they say nothing to do with them they have to log every call, and if its more that 20 times they can and should have an ASBO put on to your neighbours.
I hope you get some sort of conclusion very soon.

Vods,If you,ve got or can get a decent "Stereo Outfit" with large Speakers Face them to their wall,the stick on the "1812 Overture" at full chat,making sure that it will be continuous,they,ll get the full blast of it "Cannons Included",then go out for a couple of hours with it left on.It works. At least it did for me.**M**.

Bellblair. Nice to meet you. Will note you advice. Machine has been collected, and I mentioned about the baby alarm, and she said it would pick up if I'm using a cordless phone, which I do. Said to use an old fashioned phone with a wire attached, as they can't pick up a signal from that. Either that or use my mobile. They will advise me of what the recording shows up, and said it had been recording but was full, so if they know it's gonna be full so quick, then why leave it so long til they come back for it?? But she admitted she should've left me a contact number when they left the machine, so has now given me direct numbers for the team to contact them at night.

Merlin. No point in doing anything like that, cos I would only suffer more. It sounds so tempting, but it won't solve the problem. Glad it workd for you though.
