Woman's Tired Of Neighbor's Screaming Children, Wants To Blast Music


This woman moved into a new home and after meeting her new neighbor and determining that there'd be some loud kids stirring up all kinds of noise, she let the mom know that she'd probably just proactively try to drown out that noise with some sweet tunes. Apparently, the mom didn't take too kindly too this. It could be viewed as a potentially tough call on whether or not the music blaster's in the wrong. On the one hand, nobody wants to hear a relentless onslaught of kids being crazy loud, but the music might also only make the situation that much worse. You be the judge though, who's in the wrong here?

Font - 日1231B2 AITA for telling my neighbour will just blast music over her kids yelling Not the A-hole | (f26) moved into a new house that I purchased. My new neighbour a two days later came over to say hello and asked if we had kids. I said no and she pretty much said (not word for word) "oh I hope you don't mind all the noise mine make, they can get very loud". She has 3 kids, which I'm guessing are all under 6 and l've already heard them. I haven't finished unpacking yet but where I used to

Font - I responded to her "oh that's fine, l'll probably just drown any screaming out with music anyways" She seemed a bit annoyed and asked what type of music, to which I told her mainly metal or punk pop (it's still 2004 to 2012 in my Spotify, it's not a phase). She seemed unimpressed and said that's not really okay. I told her that if she can't teach her kids to be respectful of neighbours at appropriate hours, I don't really see the issue. She huffed off.

Font - I've never had complaints from neighbours prior to this. While I understand, most people might not appreciate hearing music blasting, most probably put the two cents together that it only happens when they're kids are obnoxiously noisy. I previously haven't had to do this often but I have feeling, this might be a more regular occurrence at my new address. So reddit, aita? Open minded to that we both might suck here.

Font - I have no problem with her children's play noise as long as I can drown it out with something more soothing on the ears. I would only do this when it gets to yelling and screaming. I'm okay with general play noise happening as I do like think of myself as reasonable. Fwiw, it seems like her kids are fans of constant pointless yelling while playing. All of my 10 nieces/ nephews have slowly learnt that randomly yelling is rude so I don't know if this is a parenting issue on my neighbours pa

Font - CapitalAssociation40 · 18h I see this as a - I'm gonna have myself a jam session when your kids are screeching like wild animals- situation. Let's face it, sometimes a group of kids is going to get out of control. That's not the issue. The issue is when that crazy happens on a regular basis. I do the parent thing and my 7f kiddo knows that generally speaking, screaming is reserved for distress. We don't scream when we play. Nta. Neighbors suck. Reply 453 ...

Like, "I sound like I'm being hacked to death by a chainsaw-wielding maniac" or "I fell out of my trampoline and my femur has punctured my femoral artery and is sticking out of my thigh" shrieker. Every time she plays outside, at least once, I find myself racing to the backyard to make sure she's not seriously injured. Also, she's 9, so plenty old enough to know better, and I've asked both her and her mom, nicely, that she not mur

Font - dianeh82 · 18h NTA- sh'e not the only one allowed to make noise. It seems this neighbor may have had problems in the past with others, hence the warning. Just know the local noise ordinance in your area - usually noise volume shouldn't matter during the day. Who knows - maybe her kids will start to dig your music and quiet down, hahaha | Reply 1 112 ...

Attempted to make a 'friendly forewarned' joke about it, yet clearly has no plans to reign them in...she offered a preemptive 'too bad!

Font - Cactusmousearin • 17h ΝΤΑ , I've had neighbors that warned me like this, and they proceeded to be insanely noisy 24/7. like loud TV on all night, kids screaming like they had a hand cut off, KNOCKING ON THE BEDROOM WALL for hours on end. the only time they ever stopped was when I knocked back on their wall. granted, I lived in an apartment, but I expected a normal level of noise, not migraine inducing screams all the time.

Organism - auberjs • 15h NTA- I have 4 very excitable children. They are NOT allowed to act like crazy people outside. If they screaming last for more than a few seconds they have to come in. No one ( including me)wants to hear that. That being said don't punish your other neighbors! Good luck! Reply 1 26 3 ...

If you're blasting loud music to the neighborhood, then you'd be an A -hole, but just enough to drown out screeching- no worries. The screech volume goes down, the music volume goes down.

Font - KiwiTurk2020 • 11h NTA - dick move of the neighbour to think that 'warning' you their household makes a lot noise means you'll then be ok with it. I probably would have said l'm fine with general kid noise but don't like yelling & screaming and if I got a response akin to "ah well, kids, can't be helped", l'd advise that l'd drown them out with loud music (death metal or offensive lyrics would do the trick). I had 1 kid nearby who would literally SHREIK everytime she used the trampoline,

I have on multiple occasions used that very tactic to drown that noise out and keep my sanity. Metal, viking metal, pagan music whatever l'm in the mood for gets played.

Since it's wall mounted on the wall we share we can hear it very clearly when cranked up. Knocked the door a few times and they're always very polite, and sorry, but it just creeps back up. Sol got a set of nice active bookshelf speakers for the TV. I wall mounted them. The bass is as low as it'll go and I keep it at low volume since I don't like it blasting. So the last few time the

Font - Professornightshade • 11h NTA you're allowed to do what ever in your own home and "warning" a neighbor your kids are noisy is just to give herself an excuse to not do anything about her kids. And questioning what kinda music you'd be playing is also really rude and none of her business. RN I'd do what you plan to just drown them out with music. If she chooses to file a noise complaint do the same thing back to her l'm sure a noise complaint of "I keep hearing kids screaming bloody murder
