Terraced House

[Stormy]

Any of you live in a terraced house? Ive been used to being in a detatched for a while so not worried about noise etc not that they make loads of noise...

I have neighbours one side and underneath, I've asked both if the dogs are a problem, noise wise, next Dorr reckon they don't hear then, even when Freyja tips !, and the girl underneath says the only time she hears anything is in the middle of the night when one of them wanders down to the front door and that's only if she's awake anyway.  I have a carpet in the front room with a thick rug so I guess that muffles it a bit.

we're end of terrace, can hear some noise from next door but usually only when they away and teenager left in charge of volume button, (think he's deaf!!!) and their jrt noisier than my 2 but only in garden so I don't worry about it.

I'm in a terraced house but Kodi doesn't make any noise really, apart from the occasional howl

Semi-detached.

I can hear the staffie next door barking all day.

My guys only get noisy when I come home.

And that's mostly Daughtry doing her "Death scream" of I'm happy you're home

Terraced house too and all has been ok

It's an old school terrace though built out of stone and stuff rather than the modern brick ones so they are über thick

I can hear next doors kids running around sometimes, think they have put on weight ha but no issues re dogs and the houses both sides have them

[BingBlaze n Skyla]

we can hear neigbours , dogs and children (even the street across from us) and in turn they can hear bings barking us shouting etc lol 

luckily weve lived here forever and the neighbours have never complained 

[Stormy]

Well there will be kids next door to me not sure about the other side lol

[Storm Angel n Auroras Mum]

my next door neighbours are my inlaws. they have said especially aurora makes a fuss when I leave the house but their dog george makes noise all day when people walk past their house! and the house opposite mine their dogs and kids are just as bad. so its pretty noisy here lol

gotta google "terraced house", "semi-detached" and "detached" to understand what is this topic about  wow you guys got some interesting kinds of houses there

I think a terraced house is similar to a townhouse in the US. I lived in a townhouse for about 7 years before moving to a detached house. It has some benefits - lower energy costs and a feeling of safety were the biggest pluses for me.

But whether you will have issues completely depends on your neighbors. I had both great and awful neighbors. Our only neighbor when we first got Chula was an older gentleman and I always felt bad when she made noise. Hopefully they've properly sound proofed the walls.

But as a woman, wheever I was home alone at night, I always felt better knowing someone would hear me scream.

I live in the same kind of house, and I rarely hear noises from the neighbors.  Only if they are pounding on the walls hanging stuff do I hear them.  I don't hear voices or their dogs barking.  The only time I hear that is if the windows are open. 

 

There used to be a teenage kid next door that would run up and down the stairs.  Their stairs were right next to mine and would hear it.

I dont think ill have to much of an issue
