I am also someone who suffers the constant, well, at least 3 or 4 hours a day, 'drone' from my neighbors hot tub motor. Unlike kim0516 it's during the day and only from April to September as he switches it off during the colder months (when we don't go outside!). Chill out, go get a life is my neighbors and probably some guys here response but we've put up with it and asking my neighbor as politely as you can for 4 years now and my patience has run out. Last year I got the local Noise & Pollution chap to write and call round who was very sympathetic but as I thought, the noise isn't loud enough to prosecute. At least he has agreed with what I think is the main cause of the problem: his wooden decking base and the way it is connected to his concrete posted wooden featheredge fencing. I've tried to explain this to my neighbor asking him if he could put his tub on a concrete base or just move it a few feet off the decking onto his blockpaving. No chance. I've invited him round to hear it - for some reason it sounds worse our side of the fence and he has listened. No joy. I'd be interested if anybody has had a similar problem. I suppose if you don't mind the noise of an electrical substation humming away throughout you entire garden (and I have quite a big garden - main reason why we bought the house infact) you won't understand this. But I do.
