Neighbor’s Name & Address
(or source of problem)

Dear ………..

I (we) are writing to you over the concerns we have for the noise/disturbances that is coming from your property, ………. (their address). We have spoken/haven’t spoken on a number of different occasions, for example (list dates) / yet as we have not had the opportunity and would like to give you some examples of your noise/disturbance/behaviour that is specifically disturbing us/me and preventing us/me from enjoying my own home.
These include:

· Specific ‘bullet-list’ of example(s) of noise, disturbance, activity, etc – be sure to give as much detail as you feel is necessary with the times and how long it went on for. Be sure to say how it affected you (this is very important – e.g. you may have been unable to sleep, watch TV, it may have made you feel ill, drained or exhausted, etc).

* Optional:

Your ongoing noise is preventing us from enjoying our house and it also prevents us from welcoming visitors to our home – as your noise is very embarrassing and disturbing to them as well as to us.

We do not wish to prevent you from enjoying your house/property, as we hope you don’t wish to prevent us from enjoying our property. We both/I feel we have been (a) patient, very tolerant, polite and well-mannered neighbor(s) to you (both) since we have been neighbors.

Unfortunately, we/I have both reached the point where we cannot tolerate any more noise-levels/disturbance as we have outlined above, for the detrimental reasons to us both/me that we/I have mentioned in this letter and the effects this is having on our/my health and well-being.
We are/I am asking that you return the favor by addressing the noise problems we/I have outlined to you here. We/I both hope we can come to an amicable and friendly agreement and arrangement with you/you both/your family, to stop these noise problems and prevent them from re-occurring in the future.

Yours Sincerely,

Your Name
