Yeah, though to be fair I think the legal levels for "acceptability" are put in place to deal with the most ridiculous cases... e.g. people who live next door to live music venues, bars etc. I think in 90% of cases that might involve the likes of us playing a few tunes at home etc. then environmental services would find in your favour. Unless you are being ridiculous.

Even so, best to keep relations good, agreed.
