I live in a housing association flat, we have upstairs neighbours and neighbours to one side of us. But we dont have a joining hallway, we have our own front doors into our houses. Okay anyway....
Saturday around 5pm upstairs neighbour puts on his music, it had a really heavy base, and I wasnt feeling well anyway, so this made me 10 times worse. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and let upstairs play their music, thinking it would only last a couple of hours. It lasted till 8.15pm at this time I was trying to get my 2 year old off to sleep, he wouldnt go because of the music and by this time I had a massive headache. My OH turned up because he had been at his mums. I asked OH to look after my son while I knocked on upstairs and asked them to turn it lower. I went outside, rang upstairs doorbell twice because they werent answering. I told the guy that answered that my son was screaming his head off because he wont go to sleep because of the music and asked him to turn it lower. I could tell from the blokes face he wasnt happy. I went back into my house and started to sort out my son. The music was still on. 10 seconds later the bloke upstairs rings my doorbell. OH answers the door, dont think my neighbour was counting on that. The bloke says to OH ill talk to u but im not talking to her, pointing at me.
Basicly to cut a long story short, the man got very aggressive and said that he can play his music till 10pm I over heard this to told him that he can play his music but not loudly, reminding him we are in a blokck of flats and there are people below him. I said I was 4 months pregnant with a splitting headache and a screaming 2 year old that wont go to sleep because of his loud music. The neighbour then tried stepping into my house and started swearing at me. I was holding my son at the time. My OH shut the front door leaving them both outside. I was inside with my son trying to get him not to repeat wot my neighbour had just said. arrgghh. My neighbour told my OH that he had been watching us and listening to us and knows everything about our relationship. He said that i have been having all night house partys (lol i wish that was true) when OH isnt around and the neighbour said that when zack wakes up at 2am screaming (after hes had a nightmare i might add) he said him and his g/f were going to come down and complain. (my upstairs neighbours are going to have a baby his g/f is 8 months pregnant, if they feel liek that, then id love to see how they cope with a baby) Anyway my OH was very calm about things and the guy went back upstairs.
The thought that my neighbour has been watching us and knows about our relationship scarys me, I have already put in for a transfer because we need and bigger place so OH can live with us and so baby has a room. Im going to write a letter to my housing association telling them what has happend, including all the info of what has been said. But im scared upstairs will make things up about me.
What should I do?
Sorry its long

Thing with me was I was in a semi-detached an the one neighbor I had wasnt bothered & although it wasnt bellowing over the street they still done it as it was past X oclock.
.All the neighbours have been asked to keep a nuisance diary, so we can eventually take civil action against the landlord (we're all mostly owner occupiers).
