Pissed Off Big Time ?

Posted by: Gale 401 on 07 July 2012

I have lived in my home for almost thirty years.

I got a letter from my local council saying they have had a complaint about the loud music.

Its a first.

I did get the police round once when the Queen tribute concert was live on tv and had a friends birthday party on the same night many years ago..

I don't play that loud most of the time and never late at night.

In all these years i have never had one of these.

My son and daughter playing drums and other things that make  loud sounds all day long growing up, and Guitar's through Marshall amps.

Other friends round jamming for hours with volumes turned up to the max.

You could hear it half a mile away.

They left home years ago.

Never had a problem.

Bob the man that used to live next door for 28 years got to 90 and moved in with his daughter.

Two well past middle age blokes bought his place.

Well thats what i thought?

 

 

Moved in two months ago.

And now i get this shite,

Not happy.

There is no excuse, I repeat no excuse for playing music so loud that other people can hear it, no matter what time of day. Old people may be ill, young mothers may be trying to get a baby asleep, and someone who plays loud music is just inconsiderate.

Hello Mick and welcome back, here is a recipe you might like to try

 

Preheat oven to 300

In a bowl, combine eggs, butter, sugar, flour, vinegar and vanilla.

Blend well.

Pour mixture into pie shell.

Bake for 45 minutes.

 

Enjoy .... some delicious home made humble pie

 

It's really good and I can recommend it, as I often had to taste it. 


Seriously we've missed you, mate.

Though he loved to rock and roll All these many years He cared about the old people's And little children's ears Though he was a guitar man He reflected and he vowed Never will I ever be No ne'er, ne'er again The man who was too loud Johnny's not a poor man No, he never gets him down Now that he is free he is not proud He don't need the power Just to make a sound He is not the man that he used to be Oh, no, the man who was too loud I will play softly I will play softly I will play softly now 'cause I was the man who was too loud

 

Stu,maybe change your name to Frank Black...The Man who was too Loud

As a buildings acoustician, im sometimes contracted in by the council to assess neighbourly noise.

They usually refer me to the world health organization's recommendation that noise should not exceed 30dB at night in the neighbours bedroom.

 

Assuming your party wall reduces noise by about 45dB, you should be able to get away with playing music at around 75dB.   Roughly speaking.

The letter had to the occupier but not my number on it.

The postman has put it through the wrong door.

Its meant for some one quarter of a mile down the road.

The Status Quo is back.

Just as well Stu , If there are more than, I think it's three complaints about noise levels & the council have investigate, they can confiscate your your equipment & sell it at auction
