Tough one as I don't want either. I would do noisy neighbors. I can drown them out better than a nosy one who would be over constantly invading my space.
I've had both. I think I would rather deal with nosy neighbors, as long as they don't try to come over all the time. I once had a nosy neighbor that constantly invited himself over and never knew when to leave. The sad thing is, I also had noisy neighbors at this time. Both are the worst.
Nosy neighbors. If they start to really invade my personal space, I have control over what they know and what they won't. I don't think I could deal with noisy neighbors.
I've had both types of neighbors and it's easier to block out the nosy ones than it is to drown out the sound of the noisy ones. One neighbor actually had binoculars and would look into people's windows from her living room LOL She was such a nice lady and I had no idea she did that until after we moved.
I would prefer nosy neighbors. I would make it a point to befriend them because I know that they would be the first to point out something fishy in the neighborhood. I rather not deal with "noisy" neighbors. I'd be too paranoid to try to ask them to keep it down.
