This has been a very good thread to get people's views on what they consider noise.
I agree about the TV and similar it is annoying to be able to hear a programme we had this in one siite with a caravan nobody complained until the BBC news at 10 finished and then someone knocked on their door and asked them to turn the sound down!!

Usually soft chatting does not bother me but if one or more suddenly laugh this change of sound can cause you to wake suddenly and then not so good especially if after 11.

The worst with this was two sisters and a husband who were getting quite drunk and because we had not got back until midnight we didn't take to much notice but come 1.30 and the language was the f word everyother shouted word I had to ask them if they could possibly keep the noise down - some abuse later and they turned in...until the worst one went into her tent and became amorous with her husband   - sorry but me bursting out laughing seemed to do the trick as they were silent after that!! They were asked to leave the next day - we were not the only ones not happy with them. It is all about consideration.

We tend to choose sites with a 10 pm quiet time but we are sometimes talking quietly till later and tend to ask our neighbours if we are disturbing them at all.

With children I can tolerate a parent trying to keep a child quiet during the night - it happens but children running amok at night or early morning I don't tolerate very well.

We are very much aware when we camp that our young dog as we live in the country we are happy if he barks at night but of course he has to learn he cannot do this in a tent - especially in the early hours of the morning when someone is heading towards the toilet block and he hears them walk past. We hope if anyone hears us trying to get the dog to be quiet (he's learning ) again they will be a little tolerant.

On the subject of noise does anyone have a tent zip which is not noisy or any tips on making them less noisy especially at 3am when they sound especially loud??

Hope the OP finds a good site and enjoys their camping let us know how you get on.

Sometimes early depature of your pitch by 10am does encourage a lot of people to get up early.

One family next to us got up and started striking their tent and opening shutting the car door dozens of times throughout loading...the time 5am.

We noticed most people were starting to quieten long before that on the site we were on.
