A woman said she was 'fuming' after a neighbour posted a letter complaining about noise coming from her property through her door.
The anonymous neighbour said it was "stressful" and "disheartening" to be prevented from relaxing at home and enjoying their garden when they came home from working long hours throughout the pandemic.
They said they were woken in the night and had to close windows and doors to shut out the sound of dogs barking.

In the letter, they said: "The noise is numerous daily sessions of dogs barking over numerous months."
They added: "We do not wish to prevent you from enjoying your home as we hope you do not wish us to be unhappy.
"Unfortunately we have reached a point where we feel it is unnecessary to mention this to you, in the hope of a resolution."
Writing on a public Facebook group, the woman responded to the letter by calling on the anonymous neighbours to address her directly, saying she is 'not unapproachable'.
She wrote: "Please have some balls to knock on my door or the other doors where this letter has been sent (us dog owners have spoke about this), instead of hiding behind your keyboard to type a bloody letter, then go to the trouble of printing RSPCA leaflets then sending them by 1st class post."
Along with the letter, the woman was sent an RSPCA leaflet saying that most dogs experience stress when they're left alone. The leaflet gave advice on how to help dogs learn to be alone.
But the Ellesmere Port woman disputes the idea she leaves her dogs alone.
She wrote: "My dog may bark, it's natural for dogs to bark but he is never left outside for long periods of time as you are insinuating, nor is he left inside all day for hours."
The woman added: "It's quite laughable really that someone would go to that much mither. Get a life."
In an update on the post, the woman said she would take on board some of the advice.
She said: "Knocking on our door would have been a better approach.
"I will look into controlling the barking dog, but I can't guarantee it will permanently stop."
