I’m talking Foghorn Leghorn loud. I built and have lived and raised my children to young adulthood in my house for 11 years now. Both are now live away from home so is just me and the pets. I work from home most of the week and have been surrounded by respectful quiet neighbours. My house and 2 others have backyards that butt up against each other. Never been a problem until a young couple with 2 young children moved in and they built a large outdoor entertaining area off the back of their house. I have no problems with the kids, kids are kids and make noise. The young mum also, no problem. It’s the husband. He spends a lot of time outside and it is impossible it seems for him to not talk at a normal level. He shouts or talks loudly ALL THE TIME. Even walking the kids around the block I can hear him from 100’s of meters away. He seems to work shifts as he is home a lot during the day and when he is home all hell breaks loose as rather than speak to his children he shouts. When he isn’t there, lovely silence. It’s got to the point that even with my doors and windows closed I can hear him inside my own house whether he is inside or outside. Because I work from home a lot it has started to effect me as I dread hearing him. Someone suggested noise cancelling headphones, but really, in my own house? Even visitors notice it when they are at my house as to top it off, he is a talker! How do I approach this without causing an all out war?
