Noisy Neighbors

Jump to new
Solutions simple.
Buy a Trail Bike or Quad.

Wear headphones when ever your going to see him.
He'll soon ask whats the headphones all about.

Crank up the Stereo outside with a taping of Daytona blaring at whatever hr you like.

I had neighbours who partied till 3 am with the bass just thumping all night.
So at 6 I cranked mine with plenty of base every time they did it.
after 3 goes they got the message.
You can do the same with a barking dog tape.
 


yes, a wiper-snipping working bee across the road from the offender, 6am sundays, (me and the other 8 neighbors), could be the answer, . . . but as a last resort.

reading up on the legislation governing trail-bike noise in residential areas, apparently the police just confiscate them now, after a warning or 2.
 
Just as well some of you aren't running dispute resolution services.

No wonder Australia has such a low record of neighbours knowing one another and being supportive if necessary.
 
Some years ago my son, who lives in a hilly inner Brisbane suburb, had the misfortune to have the house up the hill behind his property rented by four youths. Their favourite pastime was riding a trail bike round and round the backyard up and down the slope. They even rigged up a floodlight so they could perform at night.

On one, otherwise peaceful, Saturday afternoon one of the youths came hurtling through the fence on his bike and crashed into a tree near the my son's house. He and his family were not home at the time but his long-suffering neighbours filled him in. They came to survey him lying among the wreckage while waiting for the ambulance. He was badly injured. They thought it was poetic justice.

One thing that peeves me is when I have a conversation and then hear it from someone else down the track.I suppose it`s why they do it.To peeve people off.
The information you impart to them can also be used against you if a bit of ill-feeling develops between neighbours (loud music and bonking or dogs barking are usuals).Their weapon of choice is some juicy goss on you.I now know who the rumour mongers and gossipers are.
 
ahem .............

Dear "perfect" neibours

I live next door to you and yes i make a bit of noise , i own a couple of harleys , 2 quad bikes , 2 v8,s ,yes i love riding /driving them around my paddocks and along the highways . sometimes i even ride the quads at 11pm at night because i just plain feel like it .

i have a stereo which i crank up every now and then, to go with a nice bonfire in a drum accompanied with a guitar and a harmonica at times.

what i would like to know dear "perfect neibour" is how come you have no complaints about when you blast your opera every now and then during the day when im sleeping
have no complaints when you are sunning yourself at 8am in ya jocks on your front lawn with a hose in ya hand
have no complaints when you ring me at 2am because you heard a scary noise and need one of those " bad neihbors " to check things out for you
have no complaints when theres a community emergency and that "bad neihbour" usually the first one to step up to the plate while those "perfect neihbours sit there and whine about things instead.

So dear "perfect neibour" b4 you get on your high horses and call in the feds over my use of MY land ,please have a thought for all us bad neihbours that think your poo stinks too but you got ya heads too far up your own bums to smell it


have a lovely day

luv a very noisy nun
 

Did I miss something here?
Last time I read something like this was Primary school on a toilet door.
 
In Queensland this situation is legislated to be handled by the police. The police powers are listed here: http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/qld/consol_act/ppara2000365/

Those relating to noise start at section 576. There should be enough there to get him to shut up

nunthewiser seems to think that the people complaining are the real problem. However, if you do some research you'll find that there are serious health implications connected with unwanted noise, particularly for those with heart problems and/or high blood pressure. If you want to make noise, show some consideration.

NO not at all actually . the problem is pettiness

ive read many gripes here about neibours , trees , dogs, motorbikes , music allsorts . the problem is many that complain forget that maybe in the past that they themselves have not been exactly perfect either and that doesent mean from any of those problems listed , i mean from say . spying on what neibours are upto . gossip . playing organ music . havin tea parties where ppl block your driveway ....

just because one persons idea of being a nuisance is noise it doesent mean other things are not just as annoying

personally find it distasteful putting my bin out and seeing the neihbour in bright red jocks watering his lawn .but do i whinge about it ..NO ..i put up with it as he puts up with my flaws also

geez some ppl here want to call the cops , ring the guvverment , shoot the trees , play music at 6am, cutting there power,cutting there hot water,wipper snipping at 6am on a sunday ,just because they think that they have more right than there neibour to enjoy there space.
 
nun,

your extreme attitude where its all about "YOU" is immature.

How about finding a compromise, meeting in the middle.

I'm not against people enjoying their property, land and bikes. But why not use a quieter bike and restrict the hours. That way everyone gets a little of what they want. I'd be happy with that, wouldnt you?

Excuse me??

i have no problems with my neihbours nor do they with me

they have there quirks as do i

nothing extreme about my attitude just adding some balance to the whinge /revenge fest thats happening here

why not wander over when there riding and let them know that you are on nightshift and the noise is keeping you awake or is it the fact that they are enjoying there land with toys you dont like that you disagree with ?

James -- Qu. how many hours a day are these folk riding their bikes? ----- and what times of the day are they doing this?

ps there is a simple fix ----- offer to buy the boyz a new muffler !! --- their response will tell u a lot about what kind of people they are !!


2 strokes ARE bludy noisy ----- but noise is relative ---- i luv noise --- once lived on a main road in Sydney 50 metres from the railway track at the back of the house-- UNDER the flight path of the Jumbos ------- totally got used to the noise --- but didnt sleep too well for a coupla years !! hah ---- :sleeping:

?? How will that stop the noise

I'm being a bit silly there...

But the screams coming from the bathroom while someone's rinsing shampoo out of their hair with freezing cold water ought to drown out any other noise in the area.
 

Nun, while you may be happy to be a noisy neighbour, others prefer to be more considerate.

Not that you will give a toss it would seem, but I suggest your view is extremely unneighbourly!

is it ?

because someone regards acceptability of neihbours habits ok?

because someone accepts that it is THERE land and they are free to do with it as they so wish as i am to do with mine


would it be un-neighbourly for my neighbour to take up the drums and practise during the day in his shed or should one tell there neighbour to enjoy there musical urges elswhere during the day?


is it un-neihbourly to remain away from the day to day gossip and avon parties and concentrate on stuff you do enjoy?

personally have a great relationship with my neihbor

he has his red jocks and tea parties and community goss

i have a noisy bike or 2 and a good time and ready to help anyone of them in a time of actual need

tell me now am i un-neighborly?
