Everyone is entitled to keep pets, but how much should neighbours tolerate a noisy animal? Tracy Lee says it’s best to speak to the pet’s owner sooner rather than later.
One morning several months ago, I was rudely awakened at 5.45am by an unearthly sound best described as a vuvuzela tooted at full blast.
The ear-splitting “uh-uh-uh-ooooooooooooh!” lasted about 4 seconds, followed by a 15-second silence. The ruckus repeated itself on loop for about 10 minutes. By then, there was no way I could get back to sleep.
It occurred again around 10am, 1pm and 5pm, and became a daily thing. I would crane my neck out of my balcony trying to identify its source, to no avail.

I didn't buy an animal.
I LOVE roosters’ crowing in the morning! There used to be one out here where we live but either it died or coyotes got it. I miss that beautiful sound.
OMG!! Poor thing! Bring out the violins!!!
Most city ordinances will allow hens but no roosters......................
Maybe he needed a silenced shotgun to take care of the raucous rooster.
I don’t see the problem.
I knew a girl we called Rooster a long time ago, we have a rooster and they are all over my neighborhood
Typically roosters will only crow in middle of the night when they sense a predator in the area. They are warning their flock of potential coyotes or foxes, etc .
Sounds like this is more of a predator problem than a rooster problem.
Was it good eating?
Get yourself a BB gun or a slingshot. Or a pack of fire crackers.
When the thing starts up throw a whole pack at it. A couple of times doing that the stupid animal might get the message.
Or the owner.
Obviously never stood an underway mid-watch.
Been in an area with multiple roosters for so long I don’t even hear them anymore. It is just another common sound for me.
Where we are in Metro Atlanta you can’t have rosters but somebody in the neighborhood didn’t get the memo as you can hear a rooster every morning. We only have hens and they’re pretty quiet.
By 5 I have had good breakfast. What is her problem?
Here they come to snuff the rooster, ahh yeah
Yeah, here come the rooster, yeah!
You know he ain’t gonna to die
No, no, no, you know he ain’t gonna to die...
We have a number of animals around our house. My favorite is the elk in the fall. We can hear their bugle as we lay in bed and the occasional clashing antlers during the rut.
I hear a half dozen roosters crowing every morning... and they aren’t even mine. I think of them as a natural alarm clock, they start an hour before first light which is when i need to be up.
“Typically roosters will only crow in middle of the night when they sense a predator in the area. They are warning their flock of potential coyotes or foxes, etc .”
In a suburban area that means they crow every 15 minutes. When I lived on Guam this was the case.
