Arctic Monkeys have hired a house in one of Hollywood's most sough after areas as they continue work on their new album.

The Sheffield group are understood to have rented a £30,000 a week £3million mansion in the Hollywood Hills next door to Friends star Jennifer Aniston.

The eight bedroom house is also up the road from porn baron Larry Flynt, according to The Sun.

A source told The Sun: "Locals are worried a rock band moving in nearby would ruin the peace and quiet they're used to so the lads have been told not to play their music too loud."

As previously reported, Arctic Monkeys are recording their fourth album with producer James Ford.

Photos of the group working on the as-yet-untitled effort in the studio emerged over the weekend.
