Hi

I have a notion that a newsgroup for neighbour issues would be rather useful
as I see so many coming up here

My neighbour issue is extremely minor indeed really but I'm wondering what
the situation is in law or whatever.

My neighbour has a little waterfall in their pond. I think it's great that
they have a pond, but the problem is the little waterfall which makes a most
irritating noise 24 hours a day. It sounds a bit like gutter which is
overflowing or something, it really doesn't sound like a waterfall at all.

Oddly enough the problem is greatest at night because it is so quiet at night
that the sound of the "waterfall" is really loud. I actually rather enjoy
toodling around in my garage at night and it's a nuisance having this sound
at night.

What I have considered is suggesting to them that they turn it off at night.
I don't mind it so much during the day because my area is not particularly
quiet so it sort of blends in with the general background noise more.

The problem is that I anticipate they will tell me "where to go" if I request
this as that does tend to be their style rather...

So if they refuse to turn if off at night is there anything that can be done
about it?
