Hello everyone, in my local playground there is a badminton court and every single night there would be a large group of malay teenagers playing that wooden ball kicking sport, and it's horrendously noisy. They would shout and laugh like some maniac every 5 minutes, and it's driving my family crazy. They have been doing this for years, and I just don't know what I can do to stop this. I have tried calling the police several times, but they(the police) either don't show up, or the group will come back the next day. I have even used the SPF's e-services to complain about this problem twice, but I have never gotten one reply from them. Aside from getting help from the police(which I have clearly given up on), what can I do to stop them?
I think its not an offence making some noise before 11pm. How about if you play badminton there before they come?
amazing they can do the same thing for years
Your parents or you can go see the PAP MP you all voted for help.
Why not live with it?
Close windows will reduce some noise.

Some noise, yes, but I feel really sorry for the people that live closer to the playground than I am.
Thank you guys for the suggestions, but @minx, neither the right time nor the place.
I actually tried calling the non-emergency police number, but was on hold for a long time. Also tried using the e-services, but it was on maintenance. My, my.
I threw water bombs. It worked.
oh dear if it was me i would get so annoyed that i would go down to scream at them :( not v useful i guess :/
Yeah throw water bombs. Maybe the whole fish tank also possible
Let them be la. Kids will be kids, no?

Let there be kids make noise disturb your sleep. You better let them be, kids will be kids.
if its only you calling the police, it will not do much good. you must look for the others living near the playground and approach all avenue, RC, police, malay association, etc.
but if its only you who are affected then im sorry to say nothing will be done because what is considered noisy is subjective. some have higher tolerance, some have lower tolerance for noise, not that its a sign of weakness or anything, its just nature.
since everyone have different torelence level, the teenagers are only truly noisy if they affect a large number of people, otherwise, it means this trait runs in your family, just remind your children to keep this in mind when buying flats.
just let them enjoy
If enough people complain then the police will care.
Call the police every night and complain until they come down. Or use laser to point at their face at your window until they buey tahan.
Let them enjoy. We been through that stage too
let them have fun. close your windows and turn on your tv...
aiyo, annoying i know, but just let them enjoy life man, dun be a spoil sport. when you're young, you are young. its like that. maybe they keep come back to annoy u coz u keep chase them away. close windows and doors, plug in, or watch tv lor. dun think they play badminton/whatever until like what 3am right? anyway they will grow up and leave u alone and u might miss the noise lol
Cheers
You can try wearing earplugs.
