Noise pollution in Alicante

[dod]

Heads up from all who have tried to have A NIGHTS REST in Alicante. It is not possible due to an excessively loud disco blaring from 6pm to 6am every night. Presumably this only happens during the summer months as no info for winter as yet. However anyone thinking of making Alicante a stopover in transit or to spend some time. Be forewarned.
BEST TO AVOID.

Not unusual in many Spanish marinas. It's very hard to get used to, if at all......

Isn't that most of the Med in August? Here in Sardinia there's a scam hotel (the Google reviews are quite amusing, unless you happen to have booked a stay there) with a horrible DJ that has the exact same playlist every day and then shouts dumb stuff over the music. Our consolation is that the hotel guests must hate him even more than us. At least he stops not long after midnight and doesn't start again until 10 in the morning.

And this is the quieter west side of the island. Baleares had it too, only the music was sometimes actually good. We miss the quieter corners of Greece sometimes.

The bleeping of the cross now signal by Guernsey Marina can be equally annoying all night.

I've just purchased a good pair of ear plugs for my return to Spain next week.
Things do tend to quieten down by October.

Dormidina tablets and earplugs work here in the Algarve. But worried after 3 months that I'm getting too dependant.

Any steady noise that distracts me from the racket produced by tinnitus is usually welcome, and I can sleep through it, but what does wake me up is people talking and dogs barking.

Waithing for the drop which never comes…

Here in Mallorca there was a guy singing so badly that I assumed it was karaoke. When he started his fourth song I realised it was going to be a long night.

What terrible design; it shouldn't bleep at all unless the button is pressed.

Sleep in the day and sail at night.

Those buttons are just dummies to calm pedestrians down.
