Why can I hear my neighbour's taps...a rant

I think some Autism hating bigots deliberately make excess noise in everything they do near your home to attack sensory issues. If you believe this is happening then you shoud report it as a hate crime.

hi

i have 4 year old son with autism he is lovely and very happy boy ,  

but can be quite noise with is jumping up and down and slapping thing ,i live in a semi and the neighbour are awful ,

we have live in the house only a year ,they have only spoke 3 time  and 2 time was to say they was going to f***** kill my husband and me the police was involved last time and the housing officer

The other time was to tell me i was a bad mother for letting him be so noise

the police did nothing and the housing office did nothing ,we ask for a move but they will only give us the lowest band that means we will never get out ,

we got are health visitor to write a letter to help us get a better banding but they have past the book and told us to send the letter to the council to help us

We when to the are MP and she write a letter to the housing asking about are banding  and we got letter back from the house offices  saying that the neighbour did not threaten us and there was no evidence to support us .and that we was making noise because we can not control are child .

can any one help with what to do ??

Yes, that's what bugs me too.  I really worry about being considerate to others, and always have been so.  I wish I wasn't so considerate because no-one else seems to be!  They just barge their way through life making as much noise and misery as they can without giving a stuff about others.

Right now one of the neighbours are tapping something in their garden, a constant metallic sound. This noise has been going on every afternoon this week. It sounds like they are hammering some metal. It is doing my head in.

I have been thinking much the same thing. The time my neighbour stayed up all night in February this year, while her boyfriend shouted at her, kept me awake ALL night. I was so tired the next day I had to cancel a really important meeting. If she dare thinks of doing that again, I will slam the doors so loud she won't know whay has struck the earth!. I am not putting up with that again. At the time it happened, I had not been in my flat for long, and so was rather timid. I have since hardened up, and won't put up with it if it happens again. Why should I? I am entitled to a good night's sleep; it would be bad enough if the arguing carried on until midnight, but they were still at it at 4am in the morning!. I would never argue all night long, maybe this is another 'neuro-typical' affliction that I can never understand. I have my routines, and nights are for sleeping, but if I can't sleep, I don't invite some noisy tosser to spend the night, spoiling the peace for my neighbours. I am polite and considerate when it comes to neighbours, perhaps too considerate!. I am so quiet, and my neighbour told my dad she hardly hears me - but I hear her a lot!. I think if someone with children moved in above me, I would go insane.

I can hear my neighbours shut their kitchen cupboards too.

And they always have clattering noises, don't know what they are doing.  And their hoover clacking against their skirting boards (as well as the hoover itself).

They also really bang their door as they come in and go out.

I am also in rant mode now too.  Just thinking about all the noise pollution drives me crazy.

What I want to know is, why are people so damn selfish and unreasonable?  I don't mean about taps running and cupboards closing etc. but the noises of parties, slamming doors, shouting arguments etc.

Oh yes, the people with the mini house in the end of their garden, the woman has this laugh that is so loud, irritating and obnoxious it drives me mad.

Once, (and never since) she knocked on our door to "warn us" (if people have to knock to let you know about it, for sure it means they are intending to be loud and disruptive) that they were having a party.  I told her we have children and asked if they could keep the noise down, as people don't realise how loud they are when they are drinking.  Her reply was "we've got children too" but that didn't stop them having the noisiest party ever, which was one in a long succession.  I still haven't forgotten this same obnoxious woman doing a "Meg Ryan" in the back garden by faking the sounds of the throes of passion as loudly as she could which apparently she found good entertainment for her friends.  There were all these shaven-headed yobbish, beer-swilling types and they did not care a hoot for the neighbours.

The trouble is, even if you complain to environmental health, they insist on coming into your house to judge whether your complaint is unreasonable and how much you can hear it!  They are allowing these morons to do what they want.  Who wants some officious stranger with a clipboard coming into their house at night scaring their children who are trying to sleep!  I hate anyone coming to my house, letalone a stranger.  Why should the victim have that inconvenience and stress when it's clear the offenders are being anti-social.  (Who would complaint about a party if it wasn't disturbing them FFS!)

Oh don't get me started!  I am living in constant stress and annoyance from my neighbours.

They have their grandchildren round and (the adults) do silly tapping things on the floors which carry through noisily into our house.  I can hear them cough and sneeze, talk, laugh, shout, argue, swear.  They also have a lodger who goes on Skype/phone 10pm time talking very loudly upstairs.  I haven't slept in my bedroom in many months.  It's unbearable.

I actually have an OT from adult services coming round next week to assess me for the DFG.  I said if we are not eligible can she support our case to move as a high priority.

We have a neighbour the other side with a toddler who literally stands in their back garden and screams and screams.  Next to them are some a***holes with a mini house built in the end of their garden from which they have loud parties spilling drunkenly out into the garden.  Next to the tapping neighbours is another family with chickens and ducks quacking and clucking from the crack of dawn in their garden (they will get a goat next!).

I hear the tapping neighbours' washing machine very early in the morning, they seem to do a lot of banging maintenance too, including in their garden (two sheds full of tools).

It really is hideously unbearable, and they really need to do something about housing for us on the spectrum.
