[piskieinboots]

You're not Andi's mum are you???...she has the same problem...'cept she's in a flat,so her neighbour's above her....all hours!

[shirlthegirl43]

Yup, sympathise with you on that one - our neighbour hoovers at all hours and she has one of those noisy Kirby things!!! Madmax once got the hammer drill out and started drilling into the joining house wall - no result - she didn't hear it!!!

i used to vacuum early in the morning ... after being kept awake by my neighbours half the night

i used to vacuum early in the morning ...

yes but that's once a day - erm, isn't it?

[Couperman]

What's a Hoover?

[Two_Sheds]

yes but that's once a day - erm, isn't it?

Yes. I was kind of suggesting that perhaps she's doing in retaliation for noise she hears from her neighbours (not necessarily you)

Maybe your neighbour is really clumsy, can't make a cake without getting flour everywhere. Or maybe her partner is !
I know what your saying tho, it does seem a bit obsessional doesn't it.

We once lived on the bottom floor in a house turned into flats and the lads upstairs had 2 dogs which they left in ( after a walk of course ) while they went out for the night. It used to sound like the dogs were using a rowing machine across the floor until the boys came home and then there would be a lot of hammering and banging.

Drove us crazy.

Turned out the dogs were ripping up the skirting boards cos they were bored at being left and the hammering was them being nailed back down again. ( the boards not the dogs )

Izi.

ah fair point - but not true in her case ....

Our MQ's are in semis and I am her only direct neighbour, I am (honestly) a quiet considerate neighbour. I do not turn my office radio on in the mornings until I know she has left with the kids, I don't get on my cross-trainer at unsocial hours - I don't let Snowdrop have his films blaring out - nope, no excuse, she is just barking

[Hans Mum]

she must be related to my next door neighbour, she was even hoovering christmas morning..... and when i set of to work at about 7.30am the hoovers going and again on a night....theyve only got 2 kids (both teenagers) and no pets ...

[Nicos]

Maybe she hasn't realised how much the noise travels? If you are quiet then maybe she thinks the sound insulation is actually better than it really is????

[piskieinboots]

then I shall make a noise

You could always hope this happens to your neighbour!

Have you asked if you can borrow it? Tell them that yours has brokened and you aren't able to get to the local store. Then, make sure they're in, and use it close to the adjoining wall, and keep going for half an hour or 45 minutes. That, or borrow it and just vacuum the wall itself, they must be able to hear it.

Or you could do what most neighbours do when borrowing things - just don't give it back.
