OOOOh scare tactics.

She would have to prove this is happening. Good luck to her with that.[/quote]

THat's not hard at all.  Video recorder with sound on.

Jeez, not bright are you?[/quote]

Acually, I am bright, I think things through, and I am also aware of the law. So let me walk you through the most basic considerations.

First: She would have to record enough time of the offending noise and make a real case that her situation is as bad as she is pretending it to be. And she wont do it. Because she is too unstable.

Second: she has taken no apparent reasonable actions to dampen the sound on HER end which is what NORMAL people do. They get things like white noise machines and such. It is not the responsibility of a human to make no noise. OP already took measures to dampen normal sounds.

Finally: as an audio professional I can assure you that a video recorder with the sound on will not only NOT capture what she is hearing for reasons too technical to get into here, but, more importantly, it will not capture what she feels inside when she hears it, which is at the heart of the issue.

This is not about objective db levels. THAT can be measured. But it would have to be sustained and unreasonable. AND it would have to be during a time where the [b]NOISE ORDINANCES [/b]kick in.

Is this lawyer is operating a business out of her home? Maybe she has a zoning issue. She has no basis for complaining about her WORK because she is not at work if she is at home.[/quote]

Noise ordinances don't just 'kick in', they apply to residential units at all hours, it's just that during the day the requirements are lower than they are at night. And all the neighbor has to do is complain to the landlord and invite them over to her place to inspect the noise.

No, a human is not expected to make no noise, but a human can be reasonably expected not to yell bloody murder, and if that human is a minor, it's his/her parents' responsibility to ensure that he/she doesn't.
