Child screaming

My friend has a grandchild who is always screeching and screaming when out playing. I have witnessed it at family events. Her parents never say anything, even when other people are wincing at the sound. She has no special needs, just an excitable child.

Apparently a neighbour recently came out onto the Green where they lived and asked this child to please keep the noise down. Daughter and my friend have taken huge umbrage at this. I am expected to sympathise with my friend but, quite frankly, having to listen to this child near my own home day in, day out, would drive me mad.

AIBU to think my friend and her daughter, and of course the child's father, should stop pandering to this and teach the child to show consideration to others. She is 9.

My neighbour has a DC who screeches like a demonic possessed being at every opportunity. This is not just 'play noises', it's downright nasty, spoilt noises. I'm at the end of my tether having spent today listening to it. There is no discipline, no correction, nothing. What annoys me is that another neighbour has a SN child, who does scream, but she contains the noise and the child so that neighbours are not disturbed too much. I've begged my DH to move, I can't stand it any more.

I luce next door to a park, swings, slides etc. The high pitched screams go through me, all day during the holiday when the sun's out and my windows open.
