Sorry to disappoint you, as I
do have experience of this, as well as railways, bells, time signals, trams, shagging neighbours, arguing couples, fireworks, drilling , dragging bodies, neighbours parties. Not all at the same time obviously, but it's part of life in a built up area.
There seems to be too much of the "who can I complain to" which as well as being bad English is also a bad kind of attitude for what is a normal part of community life.
Some people laud the 10pm rule, other hate it. There are even provisions for peaceful lunchbreaks in many house regulations ! The fact is you are living in a country governed by rules that forbid noise after 10pm. Before 10pm, most reasonable noise is acceptable and objections are difficult to sustain.
So, as a couple of more reasonable people have suggested, if it
really bothers you go and talk to them , trust their good nature and preserve some good feeling.

| Dave. I reckon this is one area of life where you (luckily) lack experience. I have suffered with a similar situation and I can tell it can ruin your life if you let it. You even smile when it rains as you know the kids will stay indoors.
- Ask the kids nicely to play somewhere else. I usually ask then where they live, and when they tell me I ask then to play the games there. Often the kids innocently tell me that their parents won't let them play like this near their home.
- In the end moving may be the only answer. NEVER live near a playground! (or railway, autobahn, nightclub, tramline etc etc)
- If damage to property is involved, the property owner should advise the police... | |
