Loud Bass Dovedale Road

[naturewalks]

Can anyone else hear the constant loud bass on Dovedale Road? Sounds like someone is making music but it plays all the time late at night until 2/3am sometimes. There is a few of us having the same issue and trying to pin point which house this noise is coming from as we keep having to go to work on not much sleep.

I can't help with pinpointing the source of the bass, but I have found playing white noise helps to mask unwanted sounds, and it's also quite soothing (in a way).

I ask Alexa to play white noise, which must make a nice  change for her from asking what the temperature and/or weather is outside, or asking her to sing the Doggy Song, which is usually all she does (present from my brother).

But probably you can get a white noise app on your phone.

Have you contacted Southwark Noise Control (?) who may be able to trace where the bass is coming from?

also good to keep a journal of times, length of noise.  Encourage neighbours to do the same, as that's usually what noise control need to act on things.

They used to come out if the noise was ongoing when you phoned them. I don't know if they still do.

But obviously it's good to keep a record anyway, especially if several neighbours do it, as you say.
