Give your neighbor a gift of wool dryer balls, along with a friendly smile. Purchase from Walmart, Amazon, Lowe’s. They are eco friendly, less costly than dryer sheets, no odor. Then put on some soothing music to cover the dryer sound and enjoy your sunshine!

I don't think asking someone to do their laundry on your schedule will be received well. Living in close quarters does have it's issues; tolerance is something to be practiced.

Is it possible that the dryer vent is clogged, which will cause the dryer to take a long time to dry clothes? It can also cause a fire hazard.

Thanks for the recommendation of wool dryer balls. Just ordered them on Amazon

Our neighbor's dryer blew gobs of lint all over our garden, and lanai screens.
Living so close has its drawbacks. You are going to have to talk to them. Maybe ask for a reprieve during certain hours. It will be too hot to sit outside soon enough and they can resume their nonstop drying.

Is a dryer INSIDE a home louder than a neighbor's A/C unit? As for dryer sheets, we use the ones without scent, but everyone has their own preference. Personally, this seems like a trivial problem. I live in a neighborhood that has noise from lawn service almost every day, and I am a very light sleeper. So what, it wakes me up if I am taking a morning nap. I am an early riser and enjoy a quiet and dark morning, and may take a nap later in the morning. I have conditioned myself to mostly ignore lawn mowers and neighbor's A/C unit. I have never/never heard someone else's dryer or smelled their dryer sheets. I do notice FedEx and UPS trucks speeding through the neighborhood daily. These things are noticeable but do not irritate me. Activity in the area just means that people are living their lives. When I lived in a villa, I would occasionally smell cigar smoke from someone that enjoys a smoke on their patio or lanai, but that didn't bother me. Life is way too short to worry about trivial issues that are easily ignored. If someone else's dryer sound or smell bothered me, I would simply go inside my home until the issue was finished for the day. I don't even get bothered by my neighbor's yapping, ankle biter pooch that barks just to hear itself bark. The sounds of daily life are just proof that we are still alive. Enjoy while you can. You can always purchase a cabin in the 'glades, but you might have to listen to insect and bird noises.

Get use to it and learn to live with it. Put a nose plug on. I walk my dog on the streets and I can smell someones dryer sheet fragrance if the wind is blowing in the right direction.

Really, I enjoy the smell it’s got a clean good smell, but thanks for sharing!

[Justputt]

Communication! It took no time to meet and know our neighbors. Maybe just bring up that you have a sensitivity to the dryer sheets they use and ask if they would mind switching to something odorless. As for sound, I don't hardly ever notice a dryer sound outside, and perhaps some soft music of your own, white noise machine, etc. would help. I suspect if it weren't for the odors, you probably wouldn't even notice the sound of the dryer; the smell probably just makes it all stand out. Unless you paid big bucks for a premier home lot, we're all on a small patch and there are just somethings that we have to accept.

Buy a $20 box fan and an extension cord, and blow the dryer effluent away, or get a length of collapsible dryer vent extension and duct the offending stuff away.

I always look for your comments and appreciate you retaking the time to educate us

We live South of 44 and have no problems with any of these.

I'm sure the neighbor is completely unaware. Having a dryer schedule seems a bit difficult.
I think the dryer balls as a gift and making them aware is the best idea, friendly and not confrontational.
Second best is to find some way to divert the smell, a fan or vent diverter of some kind. Good luck.

Lol...What sound comes from the prison? There is just as much traffic along 441 as there is the turnpike and let's not talk about the amount of crime committed north of 466. I can think of two homicides and three home invasions recently.
