Your local council now have the power to get a warrant and remove the offending equipment from the house. Trouble is, to get to that point there has to be a few complaints over a period of time, Redbridge Council did one recently on the A12. There was a house whose occupants kept having huge parties and they kept local people awake almost every weekend. The council had the power to confiscate the bloke's sound system and I think he was booted out of the house as well by the landlord.Hollis said:
I called the council once coz the neighbours were having a noisy houseparty....at 4 O'CLOCK IN THE FUCKING MORNING!!!
They came out pretty quick. They have to come round to yours first to listen themselves to how much noise pollution you're exposed to, then they go and tell them to keep the noise down or confiscate equipment if it's a regular thing. They record on a case by case basis and follow up persistent offenders.
I agree with previous posters - just because it's Brixton and it's supposed to be "buzzing"
mad: ) doesn't mean you should put up with noisy and fucking inconsiderate neighbours.

I tend to agree. People don't necessarily have a choice where they live and it's cuntish to presume everyone lives there because they love a party, or that because they have the fortune to live in a lively area then they should damn well accept other people's right to disturb their sleep.
On the other hand I would tend to live and let live if it was 0200 on Sat night / Sun morning, but that's easy enough for me because I keep conventional hours and don't need to be up early on a Sunday.

Like a boss.
There is one fucking noisty club night on a Sunday though, drives me fucking mad, really loud in CHL area, goes on until 3 sometimes. Can never work out where it is, might be Dogstar, might Tongue and Groove, but I don't think it's either.

We have after parties that go on all night and day the next day, but we try to limit them to twice a year. I'm sure it keeps the whole block awake but no-one ever says anything. I do wonder sometimes - the neighbours I have asked about it say they don't mind as long as it's not a weekday, or all the time. One neighbour said he didn't mind party noise but could I sort out a squeaky door! (Which was instantly fixed with WD40)
When I lived in Brixton about 15 years ago we had the police come to the door round midnight and tell us to stop playing our music so loud.
We only had it on a little portable tape player thing.
Then they tried to enter our house - luckily one member of the household still had it together enough to physically bar their entry and ask to see a warrant.
So why such a heavy handed approach? The tape in question was "Dream of the Blue Turtles" by Sting. We should have been locked up - with the key thrown away.

Think Radar means motorbike, wind rush round the helmet ...arty said:jesus, that sounds like a good idea - not like you need to hear the vehicles that are coming at you
Causes gradual deafness in a lot of bikers ...
Proper earplugs don't cut out all noise anyway; they attenuate it.

WHAT DID YOU SAY ???
Yep, biker. Wind noise has already fucked my hearing (well that and too many gigs as a youngster), and as Vel mentioned, earplugs dampens the steady roar of high speed air past your helmet whilst still allowing you to hear carhorns, screams. crunches etc.
Downsides, You do get some strange looks walking into a petrol station whilst removing your earplugs with a pair of leatherman pliars. The alternative is to to find youself screaming "Pump #15" full blast at the attendant when she asks you what pump you're at.
A tad embarressing the first time it happens

I get woken up by someone's hacking cough - I think they're dying, so I can't very well complain about it.rennie said:my neighbour downstairs wakes up at 7:30 every morning to the loudest crappiest music EVER... bon jovi or destiny's child on full blast every morning is NOT a good way to wake up....

Do they wash their cars INSIDE the house then?

It's a lively part of town, innit. Noise nuisance, junkies? Par for the course mate.
Don't like it? You're a selfish, whinging cunt..!
If you need to get a nights kip cause you got to get up for work in the morning, or you have a young family to bring up, fuck off elsewhere - you're just too working class - new Brixton don't want you...
