Well yes but....
Someone on our streets bought a hot tub aka a fetid sex pond.
My issue our gardens are not big so if it's in your garden it's well within 25 ft of a neighbours house
Plus we back on to the moors so it's normally nice n quiet less the sounds of nature..... so background noise travels.
The explosion of these inflatable Petri dishes has me wanting to sell the house. There's now 2 within 6 houses
I'm only after some quiet and I don't need the sound of some bubbling germ bowl in my life.
So do I just chill or do I start 8am outdoor trumpet lessons?
I ****ing some hate people. How hard is it not to be an inconsiderate dick.
It'll soon be winter so it won't be an issue. Or learn to play the bagpipes.
so what's the actual issue? the noise from the pump? or the noise from the chortling throngs in the water? or just the idea that you live too close to the wrong sort of people?
Yes, you are.
Noise from the pump.
It's a little close with no main roads within 2miles sound travels....
If you have a problem, talk with local council; they should help you understand if you are Victor Meldrew or have a justifiable concern/basis for complaint.
Actually that is a far better answer than mine...
Bear with it ...
Give it two summers and they will get bored with it.
If you have a problem... if no one else can help... and if you can find them... maybe you can hire... The Local Council.
I pity the fool that hires the local council
etc etc
Sometimes they get punctured by icicles in winter...
You'll be fine, nobody has a hot tub for much longer after they see their electricity bills sky rocket post installation. Happy days for you!!!!
Seriously, everyone I know who's had one got rid of it within 12-18 months. Hang on in there, you'll be ok!
BearBare with it …
Just invite yourself over for some naked playtime until they give up.
The one 2 doors up lasted no more than 2 drunk sessions before it became too much of a chore to clean. Don't think they fair well against mould in English winters.
If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.
It’s clearly a fetid sex pool so why not dress up for a bit of role play and join in
Pat Mustard?
Just leave a mystery floater in it overnight, it wont be in use for long.
Next door’s teens were nosiey in theirs 2 nights on the trot. 3rd night started and we happened to have a washing bowl with a dozen crayfish in.
t’ll soon be winter so it won’t be an issue.
Anybody who actually has one knows they are much better in the winter.
Air rifle pointy pellet from the fence under cover of dark.
There are lots of tests available nowadays and most supermarkets have an aisle dedicated to those who are.
Think you are actually raging because you haven't been invited round to the fetid sex pond. The sooner you admit this the better you will feel.

Oh the humanity.

Somewhere on the internet there's a teenager venting about how their crazy neighbour has started throwing crayfish at them over their fence
we happened to have a washing bowl with a dozen crayfish in.
I bet that sent them a strong signal.
I’d be more worried about the legionella risk from a poorly maintained sex pond TBH.
That and the obvious fact you’re not your neighbours type and haven’t been invited to a sordid sex pond party.
Ridiculously oversized inflatables far too big for the garden with annoying pump/fan seem to be a trend at the moment.
Kids party, yeah, bouncy castle the size of the entire garden more suited for an event in a big field, and very loud blower on at crack of dawn all day into evening. Gets used for about 10% of the time.
I'm hoping it was just rented and they've realised it was a shit / expensive idea so won't be using it for the next party.
Have you thought about going around to their house and explaining your issues, you never know they may be reasonable and accept your concerns.
Build a mini ramp in your garden and skate to full volume Suicidal Tendencies?
I’d usually say yes, but as an unknown neighbour spent most of last night (till 2am anyway) shrieking like a banshee because she was pissed and whoever she was wailing at was “Soooooooooo funny” I’m ready to impose a nighttime curfew by force.
Yes, you sound like an incredibly intolerant ****.
For full disclosure, I own a not-so-fetid-not-so-sex-filled-sex-pond.
I'd swap the children's nursery we have next door for the sound of bubbling pool any day.

Surely once it was switched on the Crayfish were nicely cooked to be served with a fresh salad and seafood sauce?
Shit, it's just happened to us too.
Our neighbour is a pretty odious and challenging person to live next to. Now there's a hot tub in the garden.
Very loud music has been playing since it has been turned on.
Worst is, I'm now away from home, 7 weeks until I return, and my already fragile wife is going to have put up with it without me to go around and speak to the fat ****.
Going to be recording the times and duration of the noise for a while and will have to speak to local authorities.
I'm OK with people enjoying their outdoor space, but when it intrudes on your own peace I can't bear it.
I bet that sent them a strong signal.
Oh very good.
Had our pond a few years - missus chills in it a couple of times a week, best in winter though ! They need looking after or they aren't nice... blurgh. That said they aren't difficult to sort out. Yup, leccy billy sky rocket.
TBH, give it a few weeks, and it will be used for no more than 30 minutes a few times a week, at sensible times.
Look it's not as bad as having a house next to you with 5 screaming primary kids, and another 4 older teens - fortunately they are across the road from me, but my neighbours who live next to the mad house are going crazy, as both sheilding - they can't enjoy their gardens, or home. Kids are for life, hot tubs aren't...
think your self lucky you dont live next to the jamin's.
Lovely old (bring back the good old days) couple next door really don't need the constant screaming, shouting, singing of a 5 and 2 year old and their parents trying similar tactics to control them. I would move into to Covid hot bead home to avoid!
Sometimes they get punctured by icicles in winter…
Sometimes they get punctured by frozen sausages in summer...
I got a ban and an email from ST Towers for using stars over a swear word ‘circumnavigating the swear filter’
How come some people can do it and others can’t?

nobody is allowed to - if you want to swear, type it in; if stw doesn't like it the blocker'll change it to 4 stars. If you start typing about how King Canute went to S****horpe or only starring out a couple of letters / or shitting about using numbers for letters you get into trouble
HAve some fun - type in a few choice ones and see if you can get something in print !
Because they get invited to the right parties.*

Still sat there humming away. Got new neighbours n the other side who love a chimera
House reeks of smoke.
See recent thread ref moving...
Looking for remote detached properties so I can be an intolerant bawbag on my own.
chimera
WTF? Sex ponds is one thing, but even I draw the line at mythical beasts. Downright dangerous unless your neighbour is a level 12 Wizard. Is he a level 12 Wizard? Are you?
You could use the chimera to heat the hot tub.
When they are out, fire an arrow into it with a letter venting your frustrations, if its an inflatable one.

This. Here in N London, sometimes we get “kids” who decide they’ll park on a random street, listen to music with a boosted subwoofer eating a McDonalds. Mostly we can’t hear the music But the Sub frequencies come right through The house - MMMMM MMMMM MMMMM. And I know I’ll wake up tomorrow with the McDonalds litter thrown in the road.
I can’t wait for the days where I can relax in my garden with a beverage at night disturbed by nothing but nature.
Hammer frozen dog bombers into their satellite dish.
Sorry, I feel better now.

What do the kids eat?

He's got a level 12 Barbarian on the other side, so he has to tread carefully. Does he even own a 20-sided die?
Next door have one and it beeps when the filters are blocked.

I just use the swear word. If the filter catches it, fine. If not, I assume the word is okay so **** it.
Very loud music has been playing since it has been turned on.
Yes it tends not to work when it isn't turned on.

I don't have much of a problem with my neighbours hot tub apart. Although it occasionally sounds like a Lancaster bomber taking off, he only uses it in summer and has it inside a sort of three sided hut,(which seems to defeat the point of it).
Its his ****ing "water feature" right up against the boundary that sounds like Niagra falls that really pisses me off.
I wonder how well they clean it . . . https://www.healthline.com/health/hot-tub-folliculitis#prevention
Course you could always get one yourself, then at least you'd got some advantage to all the noise:-).
Don't forget to start screaming 'YES','YES' as well at inappropriate times your in it.
Next door have one and it beeps when the filters are blocked up with spunk.
FTFY.

That sounds highly unlikely unless you were persistent after being repeatedly asked not to. Bans are a last resort action.
How come some people can do it and others can’t?
They can't, they just don't always get noticed.
HAve some fun – type in a few choice ones and see if you can get something in print !
Please don't do that. The swear filter is a crude 'blunt instrument' and not very difficult at all to work around, you'd just be creating unnecessary extra work for us.
My issue our gardens are not big
Is that a euphemism?
Ask them to block the pump sound off with a noise barrier?
Claim your garden personal space back and turn the volume to 11...
