  1. We had the same problem as you but ours was rock/punk band practise. The house nearby is empty 99% of the year and is owned by someone locally.  Last year their teenage children (possibly in their 20's even) used to come on Saturday afternoons and practice their rock group.  Our house had been empty for nearly 2 years so I suppose they got away with it.  We didn't mind to start with because it just seemed to be someone practising the drums but then they started using microphones and singing (if you could call it that!).  They would get there about 2pm and sometimes not leave until 8.30 - 9.00 pm.  I wrote to the Maire and they asked if it was possible to tone it down a bit and that worked for a while, then they had a party one weekend.  We couldn't hear our t.v. even though windows were shut, you definitely could not have sat outside and in the end went for a walk to get away from the noise! The party was from 3pm - 3.30 a.m.  Again I wrote another letter and touch wood it has worked although they did say were any of the other neighbours bothered, but like you we were behind them and the noise just travelled our way.  One neighbour who lived opposite said it didn't bother her because she had had 5 boys and was used to noise.  If my kids kicked out that much noise they wouldn't have survived very long!  It definitely is worth speaking to your Maire, usually I think I would have been concerned as they were neighbours but the fact that no-one lived there the majority of the time and just used it for practice purposes I felt justified - now they have put a donkey in the field who makes lots of noise also in the middle of the night but I can live with that - do you think they did that on purpose!!!!!!!!!!
