On the contrary, a pair of bluetooth earbuds for the perpetrator seems like a much better idea. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame they will never hear the CO or smoke alarms, but never mind, the right to play loud music in public throughout the night is much more important. I take your point, but earplugs only reduce noise but don't make you totally deaf. I too used to have early starts flying, but not passengers, and had noisy late night neighbours.I frequently had a two hour drive to an airfield,so used to sleep with earplugs in.

This is the thing that really annoys me about late night loud music......there is absolutely no need for it in this day and age as inexpensive technology exists (bluetooth headphones) that would allow anybody to listen and dance to music until dawn should they wish, without disturbing a soul.

Sometime during the night I woke and could hear booming 'music' in the distance. I must have dozed back off, but them woke with a start as the boat banged against the side and heard chatting as a boat went passed heading west, this was 3-00 am. About 5 minutes later, the booming 'music' started again and it was about 35 minutes before it subsided into the distance! It sounds (!) like they turned the music/noise down as they passed you and then turned it up again? But underestimated its carrying power? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroudwater1 Posted July 30, 2022 Report Share Posted July 30, 2022 Horribly antisocial and I would have tried to get the number and report them to crt tbh Reminds me of the party boats on the Severn, fine they went past at 22.00 or so but the loud noise still woke me up (as I was only 10 or 11 at the time 🤣🤣) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We often run 'silent discos' for the yoofs. It's just a brilliant concept. Google it if you have never seen one. (You won't hear one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a strict no noise after 10pm policy due to neighbouring property. So after 10pm it was a silent disco. They had 3 different djs playing completely different music depending which head sets were on which person. We sat and watched at the bar for a good hour or so. It was so funny to watch 🤣🤣🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris John Posted July 30, 2022 Report Share Posted July 30, 2022 I was moored at Fradley junction last night and I could here the music(a term I use lightly). A boat went past at 2am but there was no music coming from the boat. I didn’t put the 2 together to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is usually a silent disco tent running at Reading Festival. Never even looked inside though. I find the concept deeply unattractive, with all the real live music surrounding it.

Maybe it is an odd concept in that context, although if it allows the yoof to continue to dance til dawn while everybody else sleeps then maybe there’s logic in it.

Crewcut Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 Our (coastal) marina used to say you have to be quiet by I think it was 9 or 10pm, now they say you can't make noise that causes annoyance to others at all which is a step in the right direction if you ask me. We've had a number of noisy boat parties that have been stopped dead in their tracks recently, I think they're on a drive to be perceived as being more family friendly. Personally I wouldn't dream of inflicting my choice of music on (or knowingly do anything else that might cause annoyance to) others and wonder what's going on (or more to the point not going on) in the head of anybody who thinks it's ok to blare music out with literally dozens if not hundreds of other people well and truly within earshot.
