Neighbour's noisy pool slowly driving me insane...

Hi all! Old neighbours moved out, new neighbours moved in. I haven't had any interaction with them yet (I'm disabled and it's difficult for me to get around out of the house). But I know when they moved in they had a pool guy come several times, and they had to do some work to make the pool useable again.

Ever since, there's been a super loud noise that happens almost all day, every day. I'm going to send hubby over to talk to them about it, but was hoping to get some idea of what could be causing the noise, in the hope that it's an easy fix that we can suggest to them. (With the hope that they'll be more receptive to that than to having to get a pool guy to come out and inspect the pool, because that will probably cost $$$ that they may no be able to afford or want to pay.)

I have a 40 second video that shows the sound, and where it seems to be coming from, but it doesn't look like I can upload a video here? (When I click 'attach files' the .mov file is greyed out). But maybe this link will work? I've uploaded the video to dropbox, you can view it here: IMG_0578.mov

If that doesn't work, the best I can describe the sound is that it's like the loud sucking sound that your bath makes as the water gets sucked down the drain. But much louder, and constant!

Any help appreciated. Not looking to cause my neighbours any trouble. I'm assuming they haven't been disturbed by the noise because they're out at work all day, but as I'm disabled and housebound, the constant noise is slowly driving me bonkers!
 
Hi there nopool and welcome to the forum. I realize that you don’t need our advice to manage your pool but your neighbors have a problem. They need to top up their pool and are risking major damage to their pump. I think they may have caused damage to their pump already. The water level is too low and the pump is starving for water.

They may not now its happening. I would go next door, introduce yourselves, and politely tell them that they may have a problem with a low water level which will cause damage to their pump.
 
Tell them it just doesn’t sound normal, it’s different from what you’ve been accustomed to. I have no idea what equipment they have or why the water level is low.
