Hi all, never thought this would happen to me but I'm defenetly going through noise anxiety I have nonidea why and way it is so sudden, I have new neighbours who are constantly playing music the bass is annoying and stuck in my head all the time even when when it's not playing i can still hear it in my head, I have an issue now we're every noise I hear from there side makes me think it's the music playing on and on and on, 

Unfortunately I had to have the local visit them at 3am in morning to ask to have the music turned down I'm pretty sure that just made it worse,

I have contacted the environmental protection agencie aswell but they don't deal with this issue, I have to contact my local council grrrr 

It all started a month ago when I came home from.hospital after being sick pheunomnia, I have to get up for work daily at 5am they are constantly playing bassy music wich can be heard all through my house I am renting and Unfortunately just resigned our lease for another 12 months so it ant move until then, 

I am literally getting home from work sitting on my couch with headphones on trying to relax and that's all I can hear all the time, they are defenetly not the type to approach with this issue, what have others done that could help I have tried everything I'm even dealing with it right now it makes me nervous and sick.and I keep wondering when it's going to start or stop it's on my mind at work aswell it's affecting my life making my wife and I very unhappy it use to be nice and quite everything was fine and now this I hate it it's driving me mad, tomorrow I will be contacting the land lord for there property to see if they can help, gee I wish people would have a bit of consideration for others, thanks all

Hello and welcome.

 

I'm really sorry you're dealing with this— unnecessary noise can be overwhelming, especially when it disrupts your peace at home and work. It is certainly not the same but when wife needed a rest the neighbours would start to practice the songs the were learning. And the bass was loud. If they are playing the same song over and over, it is easy for the tune to get stuck in your head. 😞

 

Contacting the landlord is a good step, as they may have more leverage in addressing the issue. It could also help to document the disturbances (dates, times, and duration) in case you need to escalate the matter legally or with your local council.

 

Hang in there; I hope things improve for you soon! And listening if you want to chat more
