How to Ask Your Neighbors to Be Less Noisy

Noisy neighbors are very boring. They can interrupt your sleep and work. You just need to find a peaceful way to politely ask them to stop.

STEPS

  1. Don't go to them the first time they let out a little sound. These sounds have to continue at least for a week or two to ask them to stop.
  2. Ask a parent to go to your neighbors if you're under 18. Not everyone listens to children or teenagers.
  3. Make sure they have been noisy less than an hour ago.
  4. Make sure you go to them on a reasonable time of the day. Nobody would like to be woken up at 3 am, unless they are being noisy at that time.
  5. Dress up nicely and be friendly to them when you ring at their door. Politely ask them to
  6. Lower their voice (or TV, or stereo) because you are tryng to sleep or work.
  7. Excuse yourself for interrupting their activities if they say they will. and don't forget to wish them a good day. After all, neighbors need to cooperate.
  8. Return at home if they get upset, but if they continue being noisy, return to them again, not mad, but not as polite as before.
  9. Ask them again this way if they are yet again irritated by saying: "I'm sorry, I am working/sleeping and would like some peace, I was not telling you to shut up, excuse me!", but keep on the peaceful side.
  10. If they will not stop, call the police.
  11. Go to them in your pajamas if they're having a crazy party at night! You have the full right to!


TIPS

  1. Do not get into a war with your neighbor. Don't be noisy yourself to irritate your neighbor! You are a civil person, don't get down to his/her level.
  2. While waiting for the police, earplugs can be a great help in the meantime.
  3. Maybe it's not your neighbors being noisy, it's you being too quiet!

Warnings

  1. If you live in a dangerous neighborhood and your neighbors are criminals and make extremely loud sounds, don't go over there! Immediately call the police.
  2. If your neighbor hurts you physically, call the police!
  3. Spousal or domestic abuse should always be reported to the police. If the noise is indeed a fight the police should be called. You should only attempt to go over if you suspect someone is in immediate danger of being hurt!
