Loads of Qs are swimming around in my head - so I am going to post them as they occur.

Is it true that neighbours in Oz are very noisy??

Any input greatly appreciated.

thank you

Good move.

Depends on the neighbours I guess, people tend to entertain outside so maybe you can just hear them a bit more.

Land here is getting really small so I guess that would make noise from next door more of a problem.

I think I can say without generalisation that, yes, they are ... all of them.

See you in a week.

we must be on the quietest suburb ever then, cause we never see our neighbours, never mind hear them (except next door's air con/heating unit!).

Is it true that the neighbours in the UK are noisy?

Different country, same neighbourly habits

On many of the new build estates, plots can be small and houses large - so they can be very close together. Combine that with poor sound insulation in many houses. In our estate there are a lot of dogs also. We have chalk and cheese direct neighbours. Hardly see one side - very quiet and nice - only thing we hear is their auto garage door (as it's about a foot away from our bedroom!). Otherside are complete ******* - lots of trouble with them as they have regular band practice in their garage - they might as well be playing in our living room.

I would suggest having a good look around the neighbourhood and talk to the residents (we've done that in the area we are moving to). If we had thought of asking our not so nice neighbours before we moved in, they would have told us to 'get off our ******g land' which would have saved us a lot of hassle

Not much double glazing in Oz, not in Queensland anyway!! so any noise is exagerated by that fact.

We had a guy build a house across the road from us, in an otherwise full street, not a pleasant experience hearing a nail gun go off at 6.00 - 6.30 every morning for 3 months, especially when the windows are open because its so bl**dy hot, if they were shut it would be worse than the nail gun!!

Ours probably think so.
