Today we had a big problem with our neighbours in our estate. We recently bought a hot tub and we've had it for a couple of months now, and today we didn't use it. However, when we were in the garden I was helping my mum to hang some things up and our neighbour opened her window. I naturally glanced up at her, as this was my natural instinct. One minute later, her partner started slating us really loud and referring to me said '****ing poof'. Shortly afterwards, they carried on slating us and later in the evening they put their hi fi stereo in the garden and started playing it full blast but with the radio on but untuned. We shortly realised that this was to make it sound like the sound of our hot tub spa when the jets are switched on. This was left on for about an hour and then it was switched off. Shortly after this occurance, they were spraying the hose pipe over our fence and against our fence for ages, and started copying what we were doing earlier in the day and hammering (We were nailing a hanging basket up).
We are not sure what to think or do, as we used to generally get on with them and in the last few months they have turned on us because we have got the hot tub.

If they admit that they have a problem with your hot tub (or anything else come to think of it), kindly say to them that they should keep a noise diary, as you do with them, and that should they feel the need to get in touch with environmental health then you'll be only too happy to co-operate, just as you're sure they would be too.....
Seriously. If you're going to have to engage with them, do it in such a way that it plays with their mind. Give him enough rope to hang himself.

I agree with MoleHusband, go round and confront them as politely as possible...
Yes because violence solves everything :yawn:
Now, if you were engaging in said sexual acts in the hot tub, that could be understood as to why he would say such a thing. Otherwise, I've no idea.
Side note, is this a council estate, as it sounds a lot like it!
Your hot tub is too bloody noisy, and if you don't like the sound of an untuned radio at full blast then that is also what your neighbours are having to put up with when you use your hot tub!
Also the mimicking is again letting you know the noise you made earlier in the day was just as irritating.
So I'm guessing they are trying to tell you that you are noisy, albeit they are doing it in the most immature way. So look at your noise levels before complaining about others.
Look ... if my neighbour was Salma Hayek then I'm all for a hot tub next door. However if it was you and your mum then maybe, no offence, I would be less enthusiastic about this whole hot tub scenario.
I don't understand:o.
And with other people usually worse for wear. I'm with you.
It is relaxing.
Fully agree - they are hacked off about the noise but are not going about raising their concerns in a particular adult manner.
The neighbours of a colleague had a hot tub installed, which was pretty noisy. After getting nowhere with her neighbours, the colleague along with others approached the council who took noise measurements and declared the thing as a "statutory nuisance" and prohibited them from using it for more than 1 hour a day and between 6pm to 8am, and at weekends.
