Loud music from neighbors

[Anonymous]

A one time event? It might be an event. A celebration of sorts. Let them celebrate. It's not even midnight. If it were a monthly occurrence, I'd do/say something.

Is this a one off thing? Or happens all the time? Do you know the neighbor?

Hell no I'm not going over to my neighbor's house if I don't know them and it's a pattern of behavior. Because people who would do this on a regular basis are inconsiderate and thoughtless jerks. People are nuts and do not out yourself as the complainer. Call the police.

For all you know it could also be a teen home alone throwing a party. But you must have some context on who these people are right?

Normally (on a weekend), this wouldn't be a big deal, but it's the middle of the week and I'm getting pissed.

No, it's a big deal any time.

Also, if you are white and they are black or Latino, I especially would not complain unless and until it becomes a problem.

If they are white, I’d wait till midnight to complain.

Is it possible parents are out of town and teenagers are throwing a party?

You’rea wretched racist Shaniqua!

shared walls around here is a total nightmare. The rudest people in the planet. Call the police right now and contact management after.

Think about the level of obliviousness you would have to play blaring music that can be heard INSIDE someone else’s house on a weeknight.

Go bang on their door and firmly demand they turn it down to acceptable levels, "or else things are going to escalate" and they likely will if you look like you mean business.

You knock on their door and say "I'm so sorry, could you turn the music down, our kids have school in the morning and can't sleep". Or you put a note in the door.

You buy noise cancelling ear phones as well.

You are not the one making the racket, yet you start by apologizing? That's projects weakness and they will just laugh at you.

Tell them kids have school in the morning? They’re not stupid. Why would me requesting this make any difference? I wouldn’t be telling them anything they didn’t already know. The noise ordinance is me requesting it.

Just call the non emergency line. The police will knock on the door and ask them to turn it down. It’s the same thing but you don’t put yourself in a conflict with neighbors.

Totally, 100% agree.

And advising to buy noise cancelling ear phones, as if it's OP's problem? Absurd.

So, what was the end result?

Probably because they have hearing issues that have not been addressed by our failing healthcare system. Your anger is misplaced.

1-send an anonymous note with dates, times, and links to noise ordinances.
2-do they own the house? If not, contact their landlords.

I complain plenty but I am very careful with complaints about those know or have access to my house. Not worth a confrontation IMO unless you already know them and have had friendly interactions (maybe not even then).
