[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd be unhappy b/c it probably scratches your hardwood and/or causes all kinds of dings and dents and scuffs in your walls and banisters and risers.

I have three kids.  They are loud and wild sometimes.  However, I would never allow them to do this, in our house or any one else's house.   I don't think it's respectful of your house or your landlord.  [/quote]

The marks on our walls I remove every other week during cleaning with a magic eraser. They happen while I carry laundry up and down the stairs too. It's carpet so it doesn't mark the floor. Like a PP said we don't do this 8 hours a day. It's usually 10-15 minutes when we get a large package and it doesn't last more than 2-3 days before the box is ruined and recycled.

They giggle, laugh, talk and get excited. I can't imagine this breaks any noise ordinance. I posted the link but I didn't understand the language. [b]I cannot see how kids doing kids things is a noise violation.

Are you really that obtuse?

Kids can 'do kids things' differently. They can giggle - or they can scream. They can walk around - or they can run. They can do puzzles - or throw balls or jump on furniture. It's not about the things they are doing, it's about the level of noise they make while doing it.

If you are a dog owner and your dog barks excessively, your neighbors can call the police and the police has to respond.. and your explanation that it is just a 'dog doing dog things' won't fly. It happened to a friend of mine who put his beagles outside - at 6 pm - and at 7 pm the police officers came, because the neighbors were disturbed by the noise.. and issued a noise warning. By the same token, if you're having a party and exceeding the noise level, the cops will also come, despite 'teenagers doing teenager things'.
