Peace in your home: knowing what you are entitled to

Questioner

At what time can I expect peace from my neighbors regarding noise (arguments or parties)? Our neighbors usually start arguing after 22:00, and on average have a party once every 4 weeks on Saturday evening until that night. We have 3 small children, the youngest of whom is now 2 months old, and sleep is therefore very necessary, we moved into this house 3 months ago and in the meantime I have been to the door 7 times to report nuisance, after reporting it is usually quiet again for 3/4 days

As a rule, after 22:00 on weekdays it must be quiet and no noise may be caused. In the weekends this is after 12:00 unless it has been announced in advance that a 'party' will be held. If you experience serious nuisance, you must report it to the police so that you can be reported. If all this does not help, you must contact the municipality.
