I would really appreciate advice on the following situation:
My house (which I soon hope to make into a rental) has new neighbours. They are a bunch of young ferals who have large gatherings/parties on average 4 times a week. Often, they will have loud music, shouting, door slamming, glass breaking and cars revving and screeching in and out. One morning I found an egg splattered all over my garden gates.
I have tried calling the police but that doesn't seem to deter them. The council told me its out of their hands if its out of work hours, which it is.
The main problem is noise. They go throughout the night, until 7-8 in the morning. Unfortunately, our bedroom windows are about 2-3 meters away from the fence that separates our backyard and theirs. So even when the music is off, and they are just talking at normal levels in their backyard, we can hear them and it's impossible to sleep.
What do I do about this????
It seems there is no way to stop or evict them. Or is there?
What is the best sound-proofing solution? I've looked elsewhere on this forum and saw that stopnoise.com.au is not recommended. Is that the same as double glazing?? If not, is double glazing the answer?
Is there anything else I can do?
Sorry for long-winded post, just desperate to solve this problem!
