Hey all, updates, Of course Azira, there's a perfectly clear explanation on why I decided to post here and not ring their doorbell. This isn't a personal issue. The level of the noise is not just disturbing me, it's disturbing the entire block of houses (read through the thread and check neighbour's comment). Hence why via this post, they can address all of us and we can all be updated. Better even they can also give us a heads up on their next party, obviously I hope it's not gonna be necessary. So, this isn't delibarate passive aggressiveness (life is too short for that), it's constructive collaboration. If you grasp the situation, you can begin to understand. I don't believe going to see them one neighbour at a time will achieve much, I've witnessed the outcome of that practice (read thread) and the result is ephemeral. You see if we were all leaving in a building, we would discuss the issue at the regular co-ownership meeting before calling public services. This post is the nearest most modern alternative I've found. Better than creating a Facebook group or dropping a card in every house to gather them all. Better by far. I hope this makes sense. It's funny how come, you believe, standing for the rest of a community, with perfectly understandable reasons to so, is a noble thing to do and you find yourself managing people who can solely see a personal and public rant hidden behind a username, oblivious to the specific matter and situation, which, by themselves, justifies the how and why. I guess the thing with common sense is that it's not that common. Ps: Mashcov, I write this one down!

Waouuu... Look, Saffron, your post was being judgmental, satirist, and totally not helpful. Making fun of people trying to speak for the community to improve a situation is very troll-like to me. And this last message... I did laugh. I apologise if I bruised your ego.

Let me get this straight Saffron. At least I'm doing something about it you troll. I didn't say it will be easy. I'm 99.9999% sure. I've also sensibly added to ignore the note if that happens to be the wrong address. If I was to receive this note wrongly I wouldn't get on my high horses, I'd actually be glad the situation is being taken care of and I'd gladly drop it in the rightful place because I too didn't sleep much last night (especially right next to it). If that was the case, it would be either of their neighbours. I'm not gonna play the cop making sure they actually go to the end of it either. I don't have psychic powers and I'm not their mother either. I don't think you would be in the position either if you were at my place.

They were sleeping I guessed so I left a note through the letterbox inviting them to check this post. Let's see what happens. I'm pretty sure it's the house with brown bricks and the black framed bay window, plus all the stores were down today. But Huggers makes me wonder.

Well spotted, that's right, on my way.

@ nxjen : I've added the phone number at 8am, it's a bit late to call anyone. To answer your assumptions nevertheless, I'm putting the number here for next time so it's all in one place. It's unlikely I'm the only one bothered: in the past I observed drastic and sudden noise changes through the night. It seems people called. My first reaction though was to check the forum. If I had seen this message I would have assumed that they were aware of the problem but didn't seem to care. I would've found the presence of the number practical and I would have called. That's pretty much it. This is for me, you, everyone bothered by the disturbance in the future. @ Jules-and-Boo : Thanks for your advice. This message it's me chatting. If they want to reply, discuss the situation, they are free to do so, and all the block can be updated. I'm also sorry to hear people could be annoyed at me complaining that I can't sleep between 2 to 4am, about a dozen times now. If they were to announce their party from now on, they would have to make sure every house in the block is aware. Better even, they could invite us :) After all it always feels as if they were in my garden. In such a big city like London you always have this dilemma. When you try to sleep you moan at party people, when you party you see anyone complaining as a pain in the ass. It's all about coexisting. Lowering the sound and closing windows past midnight, even 1am seem perfectly fair. I think people who decided to live here did it in the knowledge that there's no pub, nightclub in the block, it's not a touristy area... I really don't mind the odd party every now and then. I got other neighbours up for it but they are considerate them.

Hi, There's a house on Amott road. A party animal house on Amott road with loud music and equally drunken loud singers in the garden (1:50am), they scream too, this time 4am. It's not the first time but it's the last drop. Actually, in average, they party around 3-5 times a year up to the morning. I wake up at each one and wish for a thunderstorm. I'm not even a direct neighbour. My mistake? I can never be bothered to call the police for noise disturbance. But this time, I'm sending a public message from the block. If you are from this house, or a guest, please kindly pass on the message. You can party, but passed midnight and considering your frequency: - Drop the music - Close your bay windows - Ask your friends to sing along all the @#$%& they want indoors - Saturday nights are not an excuse, people work on Sundays here. Please, don't apologise, just don't do it again. And if you don't care enough, then police it will be. Every time. Called by possibly any other exceeded neighbour around the block reading this message and seeing it as a reasonable first step to solve the problem.
