Surprised people have issues with cops not turning up. I've only ever rung in a noise complaint a couple of times, but they've turned up pretty promptly.

We had police turn up 17 minutes after we started jamming 4pm on a Wednesday afternoon -

I know this for a fact because we had a timer going because we had our first international support the following night and had a half an hour set - We were timing to see how many songs we got done to make it our set list -

17 minutes after we started playing - The old coot must've picked up the phone as soon as he heard the snare drum crack in the distance, and the pigs must've been sitting on their arses waiting to hassle some kids who were doing nothing wrong...

That particular pig that day was a right royal c*nt - Didn't knock on our front door (our housemate saw them rock up and was waiting for their knock -

They went straight around the back of the house (illegal without knocking on the front door first? anyone?) and went straight to the fuse box and turned the power off and on a couple of times!!! Could have blown our amps!!

The music was barely loud enough for me to hear though. Couldn't hear it at all when inside. I wound up sticking my head over the fence at about 9PM and asked if they could turn up the volume a bit. The kids had pretty good taste in music. Party finished just before 11PM. WTF is wrong with kids of today?
Probably Accounting students.

have it pretty good where im living at the moment, only complaint is every now and then someones kid a few doors down has the house to himself & will play shit hip hop loud on a weeknight.
as far as weekends go if its not all the time then parties are fine as long as they at least get toned down a bit at 2 or 3.
we used to have parties every weekend at our house until 3-4am for about a year and never had a complaint. they key was just to ease it up a bit when its staring to get too late... no biggie

I acknowledged that it was annoying but it wasn't their intention to annoy them - No one at the house would've gone "Hey, do you know what? People need to work tomorrow, let's crank the music to piss them off"

That didn't happen - They had a party, there was some fallout -

Dick Move OP blared and honked the horn for no other reason than to try to wake up people -

He even admitted beforehand that he never even asked them to turn down -

If he had asked a couple of times, and got a rude response or something, then fair game -

But he didn't, and therefore, a dick move
Sounds a bit like your Maccas rubbish incident tbh, with JackFrost playing the part of radiojake

maybe your music is just shit and no-one wants to hear it.

residential houses in inner-city neighbourhoods aren't the type of places to be having professional "jamming" sessions, doesn't matter what time of day it is.

It was 9 years ago and we were 18/19/20 years old -

You'd probably be the first to complain (and same with the old coot) had we been youth hanging around on the street because there was nothing else to do -

I contain that 3pm in the afternoon is fair game, especially when our direct neighbours never had an issue - It really wasn't that loud -

Depends on the volume really. If its "next door is mowing the lawn" volume then OK, if its "im sitting right in front of the speaker at a nightclub" volume then no

I've posted this elsewhere before but when i was living with my GF's folks for a while there neighbors would have really loud house parties every Tuesday without fail that would go until 2-4am. On a few occasions i would either go to the back fence to try to tell them keep it down (which would normally be met with "f**k off d**khead" or the like) i started trying to go to the front door to tell them off but no one would ever answer. Called the cops a few times but they never came. Anyway it came to head one day when i rocked home, walked in through the front door and the nieghbors parents were sitting there with my GF's parents, i had to play mediator but essentially the neighbors were trying to say "it's okay for them to have parties at that time because they work shifts, no one works 9-5 anymore". Idiots.
Cannot stand this. I've worked both, and I gotta say I never seen shift work as an excuse to act up at random times, now I work more regular hours, I've found we have to be as quiet as mouse in our own home as the diddums neighbour has shift work and they are sleeping when we are awake and at work when we sleep, so we can't make any noise, do any outside work, etc, before the mum comes around to complain.

Yet when they want to have the subwoofers going at 3 in the morning on any random morning, and both my missus and I have work, it's all "who works on saturday/sunday!!!??!!!"

Um... that guy from the bottleshop you bogans have to frequent every time you aren't at work, and that chick from the takeaway that you go to for some hangover food when you finally wake up in the afternoon.

The funnier part to it was i asked "well what time does everyone in this room work" EVERYBODY "9-5". F**kknuckles the lot of them

Never made a complaint, but I reckon if neighbours warn you beforehand then that´s fine. If not calling the cops is fair game.
This 100%. Happy to give some leniency to people if they give you a courteous warning. But if my windows are rattling at 1am am I going to ring the cops, yep you bet.

The volume should be eased back a bit after 10, after midnight you should move the noise inside. Common courtesy, especially if you live in suburbia

1am.

Get some ear plugs prudes, we were all young once.
Bang! Keep a pair of good wax ear plugs handy, they will block everything out. Problem fixed. Also applies to snoring partners, I can't understand the lengths people will go to to stop their partners snoring.

Obviously not a solution for the kiddies, won't work for bass either.

It's hard enough getting my 2, 3 & 5 year olds to go sleep let alone forcing them to wear ear plugs. Obviously you don't remember that you were also that young once.

As for the we were all young once argument, my mates and I did all our noise making in public places designed for those purposes, so I don't see why some groups need to regularly be having parties at home

Because they don't have jobs. I have regular issues with my next door neighbours (single mum with 2 teenage daughters). Now u would think it would be the teenage daughters that would be the issue but no it's the 40yr old mum with the Balkanise husband who thinks she is a party animal. The latest issue was a few weeks ago on a Friday night when they had a karaoke machine with the bass right up let it go until 1am when I asked nicely to turn it down so my wife and kids cld sleep. All was good for 1/2hr until it was back up louder than before, after hearing the same song sung 4 times I blew my fuse and let her and her remaining guests have it, funny enuf music was off in 5min and have not had an issue for the last 4 weeks touch wood.

If its ac/dc.......it can go all night.
If it techno, skitzmix ****, then the cops will be getting called as the sun goes down.

In general, If there isn't stupid behavior (swearing at the top of your lungs or running havoc in the streets) then you can party all night.

Hubby is rounding up his BALKAN boys and if we never hear from you again we'll assume you've been chopped up into pieces and living in their backyard
