How to Deal with Noisy Neighbors
Noisy neighbors not only disturb the peace of your house, but also create an unhealthy living situation for the entire neighborhood. Find ways to deal with such people in the following article.
- Talk to your neighbors face to face about it.
- But before you approach them directly with the noise problem, make sure you get to know them personally and establish a relationship with them.
- When you get to know them and behave in a good way with them, there is no need for complaining and fighting with them to reduce the noise they cause.
- When your neighbors get a welcoming feeling from you, they would want to be nice to you and won't cause any inconvenience to you.
- But if your neighbors are stubborn and don't change their habits, take the next step.
- If they still continue with the loud noise and arguing, get a copy of your local noise laws and send a copy over to their home.
- They might sober down once they realize that the noise is really affecting the other neighbors and reduce the noise.
- There are different sets of rules and regulations related to local noise control. They have various prohibitions like a loud barking dog, and unreasonable vehicle noises, like honking.
- Talk to your neighbors over their copy and let them know the consequences in person. Many times, such people make it a point to ignore all these rules and meetings.
- Under such circumstances, take the following steps.
- When your neighbors are completely ignoring your efforts to get them to reduce the noise, you have to warn them in writing.
- This time be very clear and tell them to quieten down or there would be legal action taken against them. Make sure the written statement doesn't sound like a threat, but a formal way of saying that you will have to consult the authorities if the situation is not controlled.
- Sometimes, if you want to simply scare them and not take strict legal action, you can seek the help of mediation services, who talk to the neighbors and ask them to co-operate. If they still don't comply, it's time to take some serious action.
- Call the police and write a complaint against them suing them for nuisance created in the neighborhood.
