Being an old bag, I tell people who make to much noise, last year I told a near neighbour, that his dogs barked constantly and it was disturbing a lot of people, he has 3 dogs. He tried giving me a bit of old flannel, by saying that when he came in at night the dogs were excited and they just let of steam for a bit, I said they might like letting of steam, but the rest of the neighbourhood didn't want to hear it, when he kept coming back with excuses, I said it was up to him, but if the dogs didn't stop, that a neighbour was going to complain to the local council, which they were, he said he would see what he could do, barking stopped to an acceptable level :-D |

there is a problem here with cars too, there is a massive lyme tree twice as tall as my house outside and even though i have a motorbility car i cannot park underneath it because of sap in the summer and falling branches in the winter..so i park outside next doors who don't have a car.. but in general neighbours do tend to leave me a space which i am grateful for as i cannot carry shopping bags either.. |

I'm truly sorry for anyone who has to live with all this going on everyday. It would drive me crazy. |

Being hard of hearing I wear hearing aids. They do tend to magnify ordinary speech a little. Luckily our neighbours all seem to have good hearing, we rarely hear much noise, even from the younger ones. However, travelling on the bus I can get a headache with a couple of women shouting to each other (in the same seat) and somebody else shouting on their phone, because obviously the person on the other end can't hear them because of the two women shouting. And heaven help us if a family get on when they all have to compete to be heard above the others. We live in a world of noise. |

Stella, I think it is a problem wherever you live. |

Most of the Spanish are the same. Living in a narrow street doesnt help either. In the summer they leave the engines on the cars running with air con on and radio blaring out. I only said to hubby at the weekend I must be getting old as I do nothing but moan about the noise. |
