What can I do about my noisy neighbors kids?
Answer:
throw eggs or rotten tomatoes at the little jerks and tell them that there is more where that came from if they do not quiet down! As a last resort get out a BB gun! Happy Hunting!!
Well if you live in an appartment complex of something like that tell the ladlord they can put a stop to it. But in your house in a neighbor hood there is not much more youcan do except keep telling her that it bothers you.
If you live in a house, there's nothing that you can do, except hope that your neighbors will move.
When the kids get really loud, get the airpowered horn like people use at football games. Blow this horn periodically, and when they come over to ask you why you're doing it, explain it to them.
Keep after it until they stop, or you get a noise abatement ticket...
Get out a blowhorn and blow it every time they make noise. They'll get the picture even if you have to act childish, they obviously have no problem with acting childish.
from grim experience, people you described are ignorant,and as so will not change their "normal" behavior. Move
You can't really do anything about noisy kids because that would be unfair to these kids when there are other kids around that plays. Why not be a good neighbor and make nice with this family because they are new, that way once you get to know the family you will then be able to communicate to them that they are kind of loud and you never know when there is an emergency or not. I think that would be better than making enemies of these people because that is what it looks like from my view of things.
Unfortunately you may have already done all that you can- which was politely ask them to turn down the volume. Unless they are making noise late at night or early in the morning, beyond "normal" daytime timeframes, you may just have to live with it. The whole family is likely so ingrained with screetching instead of talking, that even when reminded politely by neighbors to keep it down, it would be really difficult to break the habit. If you live in an apartment complex perhaps you could talk to the rental manager, but other than that, just keep a radio on low, to have a "white noise" type of effect to block out as much as you can.
You made the first step by letting them know. Your next step, you could call the police for noise. Just state you understand kids like to play and be loud, but explain how they scream at the top of thier lungs. I am sure one knock on their door from ther police will quite them down. If you don't want to call, just walk into the station.
There is power in numbers. You alone complaining about it will not do much except get you the title of "that b*&ch next door". If you and all the surrounding neighbors all complain at once, then the powers that be will recognize where the problem lies and do something about it.
You have to realize that you live in a complex and no matter what you do, you'll always have a neighbour or 2 that you just can't live with. Maybe if you can confront the parents again and see what they can do to calm their children down a little, but children will be children and they are going to make noise.If nobody can help you with the noise, try calling the police or the city to see what you can do. Maybe you can even try with all your neighbours to see if you can push them out, with a petition. There are so many ways but the only way you'll ever get peace and quite is buying your own home.
Good Luck!
Its tricky but I advice you to try and have a meeting with other neighbours and tackle the problem collectively to avoid witch-hunting. Doing it individually may bring more complications. If that does not succeed then you need to see a competent authority over it and lodge a complaint. Sorry for that.
Angela C.'s answer is very funny. My advice, be nice to them so when they are teenagers they won't break into your place or vandalize your stuff! Good luck!
uh, kind of a shot in the dark here, but maybe a hearing problem runs in the family? They could quite possibly not even realize they're yelling. I don't have the most amazing hearing ever, which runs in my family, and I often don't realize the volume of my voice is getting kind of high, especially when I'm under stress. It's taken years upon years to adjust the level of my voice to an appropriate level for appropriate situations.
Or they could just be a loud family.
There's not alot that you can do other than talk to neighbors to find out if they're bothered by it too, then approach the family, or use an air horn when they get really obnoxious, but that's kind of infantile. Especially if they're not violating city or community noise ordinances/rules.
