Neighbourhood disputes are not uncommon, and they can arise over anything from parking spaces to overgrown hedges. It's no surprise that about 60% of Brits have had a disagreement with their neighbours at some point, with 16% admitting that it has happened multiple times. But for Chase Keller, a new neighbour moving in next door became a nightmare when they started throwing loud drum and bass parties every night for a week.
Chase vented his frustration, saying, "The little s**ts' parents must have gone on holiday because every day this week, he's been having parties, and not the nice fun kind - dirty drum and bass raves. Now, if it's a Friday or Saturday, go for it, but tonight is a Tuesday, and I'm not having it, so I will seek my revenge." As the owner of an event company, Chase had the time and equipment to make his revenge plan a reality.
At 8 PM, he set up his sound system and waited for his neighbour to start blasting their music. He recorded the whole thing and shared it on TikTok, saying, "I can't tell you how much joy this brought me." He added a hashtag #prank and #fyp, and his video quickly gained 1.4 million views and over 150,000 likes. People in the comments were loving Chase's approach to dealing with the noisy neighbour, calling him a "genius" and a "legend."
Chase's revenge plan involved playing the most embarrassing song he could find at full volume if he heard any murmur of drum and bass from his neighbour's garden. And like clockwork, the rave music started, and Chase wasted no time in blasting the Vengaboys' hit, "Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!!". In the video, his neighbour can be heard shouting, "Bro, what the f**k?" over the fence. Chase's video shed light on the top reasons for neighbourly disputes, which include noisy parties, impolite behaviour, and boundary disputes.
But despite Chase's successful prank, his neighbour continued to throw parties for the next few days. So, Chase came up with new ideas to teach them a lesson. He set up a hot tub in his garden and blasted all the songs he had ever made. His neighbour's reaction was the same, "Dude, what the hell?" The next day, Chase set up a full karaoke stage and sang Frank Sinatra's "My Way," and the day after that, he played Baby Shark as requested by his TikTok followers.
While some people were concerned about other neighbours being caught in the musical war, Chase hasn't mentioned any complaints. In fact, others on the social media platform shared their own similar experiences dealing with noisy neighbours. One person shared how they played recordings of howling dogs all night, while another played screamer metal music and faced the speakers towards their neighbour's wall.
If you find yourself in a similar situation and don't want to stoop to your neighbour's level, the best course of action is to approach them directly and try to resolve the issue. If that doesn't work, you can keep a diary of the noise and request equipment from your local authority to record it. According to the police, if the council determines that your neighbour is causing a noise nuisance, they can issue a noise abatement order, which can lead to a fine if broken. So, it's always best to try and resolve the issue peacefully before involving any authorities.
