I am a single mum in rented accommodation, and most of my neighbours are in second relationships and a lot younger than me. Their language appalls, and I am fed up with loud music blaring out of their houses and cars at all hours, friends with noisy cars, bad language etc, but I have to live here so I just keep quiet.

simply type a good worded letter and first appeal to them to reduce the noise especially (state a time frame the noise is usually iritating to you). If this fails to help, send them a reminder a few days thereafter and if they still don't change. Buy them a noisy toy (if they are adults) and post it with a note saying "Now that You Have Turned To Kids, This May Help Calm You Down"

Do your neighbours rent from the same landlord as you? Even if they don't, complain to your landlord. He won't want anything to affect the value of his property, and how easy it will be to rent out next time. If you are in a council or housing association house, complain to them. If you have no joy with either of these, call the local council and ask to speak to the noise pollution or noise abatement department. They have the power to impound equipment if it is causing a nuisance. If it's late at night, ie after 2300hrs, call the police. You may well wait a long time, but if there are cars in the area they might have a quick look. The police can also impound equipment.
If all else fails, find out who your local councillor is and speak to them. It varies between councils, but some have a neighbourhood mediation person who can help to solve disputes. Your councillor should be able to give you proper details.
I know what a pain noisy neighbours are, good luck with shutting them up!

It depends where you live? and if it would be worth any comeback, if there was to be any! Personally I would wait until they decided to have a quite night or if you notice them to be ill or something??? Arrange a sleep-over, night out or get some good quality ear plugs and if you have an alarm? set it off so it would be continuous for a couple of hours!! If ur not a revengeful lady then jot down the car no plates, house address, record what they are doing & saying & phone police / council / [when its really loud hang the phone to the window] Only u can choose ur plan of action as u know the situation & surroundings & face any music! good luck what ever you decide, get deveious

Hi
I lived in a council flat with noisy/drugie neighbours, I had to fill in complaint forms for 5 months or so to get the council to do something. I even got my doc and local MP involved by writing letters to the council. I nearly had a breakdown. I put in for a transfer and within a few months was relocated to a very quiet place with older neighbours. I did manage to get one evicted. Great!! My council was Gosport Borough.

call the police or report them to the local council. I think you can usually make anonymous complaints because it is against the law to make too much noise during unsuitable hours and therefore your neighbours should be respecting that their neighbours would like to sleep in peace as well as live in peace! The only other option if that doesn't work would be to rent somewhere else, but obviously it wouldn't be ideal.

If you're in Scotland we have things called ASBOS now and noisy neighbours can be evicted by the council, even if they aren't council tenants - get in touch with your local MSP or go to the Council - if England sorry, don't know anything about English law but I would think your local MP would be able to help.

You can try and talk to your local council. Or your housing assocaition. But i would sudgest that i get on to the enviroment agency. And talk to them They will monitor the noise level. And they will help you with the steps that you need to take. I went though the same problem about two years ago. It's not nice and very unfair to you. But get in contact with you local eviromental agency. And they will try all they can to help you. Failing this. You may have to do what i did. Move. I feel for you. And the very best of luck to you.

1 - You could always ask to be moved.
2 - Otherwise if your neighbours are not too appalling, get to know them a little and ask them to help you because your kid has trouble sleeping with all the noise.
3 - Come on this is not where you want to be, there is always another option, think really hard and get some help, get up, move out and move on up!

Phone your local council Environmental Health Department. Noise can be monitored and if the volume is too loud action can be taken by the council and a noise abatement notice served.

They are infact disturbing the peace of you and other neighbours - call the police - they will have warnings, also report it to your local council, they will do something about it cos my friend had the same problem. :)
