Thanks. It's been as quiet as I could hope recently. Until today.
Noisy neighbour knocks door at 12.30PM and says " got an unexpected call, will be playing music for half an hour tonight..." Ok, I could refuse, but don't have a problem with half an hour and as it has been bareable lately I agreed.
Immediately I closed the door the music starts, loud. Louder. Louder still. I bang on the floor. No change. Music still thumping and vibrating at a stupid level. I had enough and foned Env Health. Surprisingly I got through to the officer in charge of the case and after a discussion he agreed to attend. However, as he was expected elsewhere wasn't sure would not be there til sometime after 2pm.
I had been trying to do some paperwork but just couldn't concentrate. I was so agitated I left home and went to my sisters [she had to give me a brandy to help calm my nerves.] I came home two hours later [15.20] and it's quiet, but I don't know if the officer has even called yet.
Fortunately I did have a microphone hooked up, and recorded the noise. The bass has been captured quite well, although the other ranges didn't come across. But at least there is something. If she still goes ahead with her "half an hour" later tonight I will report it. After this any agreement I made is obviously now rescinded.
EDIT: Just as I post it looks EnvHealth turn up over 3 hours later. All quiet of course. It was only next door for about 3 minutes tops.
