Loud music from neighbors

OP here. Thanks for all the replies. We let it go and didn't report or say anything to the neighbors. They've done this before, but it's usually a once-a-week kind of thing, and almost always only on a weekend night. So hopefully the weeknight disturbance was a one-off. However, if it becomes a habit, we will probably make a call to the non-emergency line to report it. I have a feeling one of the other neighbors reported them this last time.

Where are you op? I am always amazed at how reticent people are to complain about loud music. I can’t stand hearing someone else’s music in my house with my doors and windows closed- it’s such a violation. I’ve learned over the years to call the non emergency line immediately and never assume people have common sense- no, their party won’t end at a reasonable time, no, they won’t turn it down when you politely ask, no, they won’t have their party just a couple of times a year, no, they won’t stick to weekend nights.

Once a neighbor was having a party every week- it turns out he was renting out his house as an Airbnb FOR parties, at a fairly cheap rate.

If you can't beat em, join em. Invite over tons of your own friends and family and crash the parties. Word gets out and nobody will want to rent it anymore after some reviews about you and your buddies always showing up for the parties.

Lol I just called the county and complained- they didn’t have a license for short term rentals and eventually their Airbnb is going to get kicked off the platform. I actually hadn’t noticed or been bothered by most of their Airbnb guests until they got greedy and started renting the house out for parties.

How am I supposed to know when they are going

Well darn, there goes your opportunity for some kickass parties to attend. But at least it will be quieter perhaps. Unless they relist the B&B under a different account and name?

As for knowing when to attend. "If the house is a rocking, don't bother knocking, just come on in."

I have a neighbor who blasts music at all hours every day. Talking to him by multiple neighbors did nothing. He is rude, and doesn't care. Even the county has come to talk to him. I feel bad for my neighbors right above him.

Hi op! Sorry you are having to navigate this. Didn’t see if this has been covered, but are the neighbors BIPOCs ?

We had a neighbor who was a drummer and liked to practice at all hours of the night. After the third time of being woken up we texted him and he apologized, saying he had no idea we could hear him. He agreed to take some steps (closing windows, not practicing after 10:30) and we used a white noise machine.

You can’t make a new Airbnb account once kicked off because you need to use your same address. It’s not Facebook.

Owners can change.

A drummer, at night, with windows deliberately open, and claimed he had no idea the neighbors could hear? He must have drummed himself deaf.

Umm yes they do. ( police dispatcher)
Today my officers have responded to a dead fox that was still moving ( yes thats what the caller said), a car parked sticking out of driveway blocking the sidewalk, and a couple of noise/music complainants. Amongst other things.

You must live in the sticks.
