Shouting in the garden at 2,3 or 5am
Hi just a quick query about what to do.
My daughter who lives at home, is starting last year at uni. She also suffers from Epilepsy and POTS. To keep her epilepsy and pots controlled, she needs to get a good amount of rest and undisturbed sleep. As well, she must not overheat. Her window therefore, needs to be open.
A neighbour, not directly, but a few doors down over the back, has an older son with some kind of SEN? He shouts at all times of day and night, including in the back garden. You can hear the parent talking loudly as well, as they try to control him. My daughter said it sounded like they’d hit him.
My priority is my daughter, who is getting very stressed with all the random noise. I am also sorry about the neighbouring boy, and do not want him to suffer.
How, can I get the noise to stop and who can I speak to. I don’t see any point in speaking to the parents, as they are already not managing this situation.
Any ideas appreciated

Thank you for all your suggestions.
I’m afraid we don’t have a spare room on the other side of the house. Of course, that would be ideal.Its not just the pressure of her final years uni study though. She suffers from anxiety, mood issues also, as part of her hyper mobility/ connective tissue disorder.
We live on a post war, local authority estate, which is now largely owner occupied. I’m not sure if the property at the back is still council rented.I have heard the local authority was going to fund a garden room, at the end of the garden. Perhaps that might help. It would need pretty good sound proofing though.

A possible solution is headphones with active noise reduction. It is possible to design an active noise reduction system for a room, but it is very expensive.
