| Hi Folks,
Perhaps some of you have had the misfortune of a stubborn noisy neighbour and may be able to offer me some advice to remedy the situation.
The main problem: Neighbour has electrical shutter roller (to open and close) that is set for 5:20am every morning. As it works it makes a loud whirring motor sound for about 40 seconds. It is not possible to sleep through this noise. So, I asked nicely on four occasions now, if he wouldn't mind turning it off or setting it for later (7am or later would be ok for me). The agency wrote him a letter months ago, but the problem persists (I will follow up with them again, but I have no confidence in their ability to bring any change). He insists he needs it for home security and he likes to work at home that early in the morning with the shutter up (when it is still dark out). He is beyond retirement age and I suspect he is sadly just keeping up a routine that he no longer needs to (but this is irrelevant).
To me, none of these reasons for insisting on using such a noisy appliance so early in the morning are reasonable, but what can I do?
Any advice greatly appreciated.  | |

In every gemeinde there is a law that states what are the quiet times, and in those times, it is strictly forbidden to make noise particularly with motors, like a lawn mower. While the shutters are not as loud, they still use a motor. I am up very early and I won't open my shutters completely at that time...just tilt them until a bit later.
Never mind the agency...see what the noise rule is where you live and visit the gemeinde.
