I hear ya(no pun intended). My neighbor's kids scream like someone is spraying them with a firehose anytime the temp is above 15c. Morning till night. Can't really blame the kids(not future rocket scientists, these ones), they're learning to push the boundaries of what they can get away with, which s probably just about anything. The parents must be brain dead, thinking that the whole neighborhood doesn't mind this... WE DO. My dog won't even go outside when they're out and getting wound up. I don't yet understand how these so-called parents can sit there, heads up their butts, never saying a word to quiet them down. Imagine me leaving my dog out all day barking non stop. Police would soon turn up, asking me to keep him quiet or indoors. Try that with MUCH noisier kids and they'd probably just hang up on you.
I'm currently looking at moving, as I've had enough. I can't ever sit in my yard and read a book or just enjoy the birdsong. These kids have been doing this for over a decade(do they not age?... i dunno). I used to think it would be nice if the, ahem, man of that house would either; grow a pair and tell them to pipe down, or move that circus out to the country somewhere. Obviously, neither are going to happen.

These kids are in for a very rude awakening later in life... good job parents! If and when they ever leave home, they'll be the ones most likely to skip from job to job, because they can't get along with anyone that they can't have their way over. These parents are just setting these kids up for much misery in the way of failed relationships and general dissatisfaction in dealing with people. These people are not parenting, they're breeding. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but some folks just should not have children. They themselves lack the necessary awareness to live in a world with caring, considerate and thoughtful people.

Everybody expects for kids to scream sometimes. Constant screaming is a whole other thing.

I've dealt with this same problem for close to 30 years. The original neighbor's kids were screamers, they grew up and left home. Now they've moved back home and have multiplied! So now there is the original screamers and the screamer's kids! I feel your pain! I've purchased an air horn, the biker dude on the next street told me if it gets bad, he'll set it off for me, keeping me in good standing with the noisy neighbors. I feel sorry for the grandparents who are the house owners, but I have an idea they have lost most of their hearing, which is not surprising.

Hi: In response to your comment. married_chic87309: I do the same thing with the music. Jazz. I like improv, it lightens my heart, and the children who are screaming next door, seem to 'get it'. It's passive aggressive, but no one gets their feelings hurt. I put the decibel level at the approximate level of the yelling and shrieking. Were there to be any confrontation (which I'm trying to avoid), the response would be: "Oh, you can hear my Jazz? Well, let's all turn down the volume, and have a wonderful evening." Besides, I think it's really a fair compromise, because the music isn't angry or vulgar. Like you, I took a childhood development minor. My child is grown and is very respectful of people's space. As an older person, who is dealing with rentors next door, I like them well enough, and know that their kids will eventually grow out of this behavior. : )

Agreed. This parent is clueless. I too have had problems with children screaming outside my window for hours at a stretch. There's nothing normal or acceptable about this behavior, and the most aggravating thing is that there are three parks within half a mile of where I live.
Laissez faire parents are the big problem here -- parents who refuse to socialize their kids. I see the problem reflected in my nieces and nephews. The ones who were given better guidance as children are much better adjusted adults.

A belt works wonders.
Try standing them in the corner ( time out).
Parents are irresponsible They act like it's everyone else's resposablity to take care of Thier kids
If you can't control your children.
STOP HAVING THEM

Don't assume someone is childless and inexperienced with children because they cant handle the screaming. There is a HUGE difference between loud kids and screaming kids. My neighbor kids literally have screaming contests in between basketball games. So when im not hearing 8-12yo cussing and thumping a basketball 10ft away from my windows, i hear what sounds like a massacre at a children's playground. Ghetto parents arent any better. I live in a constant state of anxiety and exhaustion. I also work nights so it's more than annoying. My work and health are suffering. Btw, my kids are grown and id never put up with screaming fits of bloody murder.

My neighbors have kids over at their pool at night, sometimes past ten. My bedroom window faces the pool, the kids screech in the pool. Since when did this screeching start? My kids would never think of doing this nor would I let them.
I thought of the perfect solution however. Next time they screech, I'm going to record them, I'll use the voice recorder on my phone. I tried it, they're easily heard. Then, I'm going to hook it up to my little stereo speaker which gets really, really loud and blast it under their bedroom windows at 7 in the morning. It will be two hours of non stop screeching of their kids. If the mother comes out to tell me to take it away, I'll say...it's your kids, what's the matter with kids playing?...just like she said to me.
Bty, whoever said that the posts are racist, there are just as many white kids screeching (like the ones next door to me) playing rap music, having babies out of wedlock and being loud and screeching,like in my very nice neighbood. This is an equal opportunity problem;

If it sounds like bloody murder going on, it may actually be something happening. Don't guess. Call the Child Protection Services and report unattended screaming children in a pool. Or better, call the police to check out what is going on. After 10 p.m. screaming is not allowed in most cities and every apartment complex I've ever lived in. Multiple reports of loud neighbors will lbuild up, children or not, and it's possible the offending neighbor will be fined after a couple times. Call you City Hall and ask what kind of noise ordinances exist or call the police department business line to inquire and ask what you can do. Be proactive but not retaliatory as that may land you in just as much hot water if someone complains of your noise at 7 a.m. Good luck!

Also agree totally. Bad parenting is the cause and the parents are responsible for what their children do. I understand how much stress and dread this kind of situation causes.....been through it ourselves. The assumptions people with children make about couples or people that do not have children at home are totally ignorant and disgusting. We lost our son overseas in a bus accident so it LOOKS like we don't have children. The first thing the people with children say is an accusatory, "well you don't have kids, so you don't know what you're talking about and have no say in the matter." Pretty sick huh? Did they ask first if we've had kids? No. Their assumptions about people who complain about their loud, annoying, uncontrolled kids as bad as their parenting skills. Call the police business line and report that excessive noise is going on and you never know; it may actually BE bloody murder going on at some point so you're just being careful just in case. Repeated warnings by the police to these lazy and rude parents may result in a fine for excessive noise. They are the ones responsible for their children's actions and are responsible for making sure that you can enjoy your Quiet Enjoyment of your home. BTW, that's a legal term, Quiet Enjoyment and applies in most cities. You have a right to it. NO ONE has a right to scream constantly and annoy others regardless of their age or condition.

Feel your pain here. What I did after I moved is write a letter to the occupant of my old house and let them know that they should feel free to call the police whenever excessive noise happens. In the future if you have the same problem in your new neighborhood, say you want to report a noise problem that has become a constant nuisance and the parent(s) are doing nothing to stop it.
Also, it should be a law that all calls to the police about adjoining residences should be disclosed as part of the pre-sale disclosure for the property being considered. That way people who are told "its a quiet neighborhood" and find out differently after move-in will be able to sue the realtor and possible the offending noise nuisance for damages. This has to do with Quiet Enjoyment of your home and it is a law in most states and cities. You have a right to it. Enforce it.
