So do I, if they're law abiding and behaving in a decent manner. If they're not, then I'm not bending over backwards to give them a cuddle. That ball is well and truly in their court when the game starts.
It only takes one house to spoil the many happy and peaceful years that you have undoubtedly enjoyed before now. We have had a new neighbour nearby within the past 12mths that appears to love power tools and is constantly making things (especially on lovely relaxing sunny days), as well as noisy kids, a gobby wife and a bloody big Saint Bernard dog with an annoying deep bark!
Me too, but without sounding like a grumpy git, many people don't seem to respect this now. The time for a word has come, they might be totally ignorant of how they are disrupting the peace. If your chat falls on deaf ears, nip it in the bud early. If nothing chnages, have another word and say you're going to report them. If still nothing chnages, - pictures, written log, complaint. Keep taking pictures and recording incidents of noise on your phone to build a case.

I was brought up to respect other people's peace & privacy which included keeping the noise down between certain hours so I struggle to understand those with a total disregard for that. It is as if they believe that the louder they are 'in public' then others will think that they are such fun people and want to be just like them. The same applies to those who over exaggerate their phone calls in public, or when sitting on their drive using the blue-tooth at full volume. And don't get me started on people who ask you how much you have paid for everything

)You're right but is is about respecting other, I don't start any noisy jobs until 9am & finish at 7pm, unless it's a got to be done job, which I have in the past gone round the neighbours & explained why i/we're still making noise.
Me too. I even use power tools in my garage with the door shut, it makes a right mess with sawdust and is noisy for me but minimal disruption to anyone's day if it can be avoided. It then annoys me all the more when next door have a loud party in their garden until 11pm. Some noise is unavoidable, like the neighbours clumping down the stairs, but it's quite easy to consider others if you have been brought up that way.
Erm... Lockdown restrictions?
Clearly they are in the dgaf camp
