I had a similar issue with a neighbor in college. The walls transmitted low-frequency sound quite well. My answer? Taiko album and borrowing a friend's gaming speakers for a few days. I lived at the end of the hall, so only the neighbor in question got the effects. That war did not last long at all, and apparently I wasn't the only one she annoyed with her music (RA asked me what I did to make her knock it off)."I am quite confident that I do exist."

Thanks for the wakeup call. I really loved the boomboomboom...boomboomboom...boomboomboom...boomb oomboom... I seriously thought it was construction. What is so scary in your head that you feel the need to drown it out?"Is it hot in here to you? It's very warm, isn't it?"--Nero, probably

But seriously, I haven't had to deal with my neighbor's noise for several months now. By that I mean the drumming. I could always tell when their mother wasn't home. As soon as her silver SUV pulled out, I'd be subjected to the same rhythm for hours on end. I like music as much as the next guy, but give me a break. That went on all summer long. I have no idea what changed, but I'm sure the people on the other side complained or possibly retaliated.
At least one of my mom's neighbors went quiet in a pretty dramatic fashion. That is, he blew up his motorcycle's engine while "working on it." Mom and I were out on her patio enjoying some wine, when he fired that thing up, and started red-lining it. I can understand blipping the throttle to clear its throat, and then letting it idle a bit. But, I don't get revving it to the point of self-destruction before the inevitable happens. Several minutes of hearing that thing scream...until it blew up. Vroom, vroom, vroom...*Bang* "holy shit!" and then silence. Beautiful silenceAerodynamics are for people who can't build engines. --Enzo Ferrari

Now it sounds like Sombrero polka. That has it's place and it's not 9:15 on a Sunday morning. Why is it that every single person who lives in that unit--and I've seen many--insists on having the sound system in the dining room? If it were in the living room it would be better. They are on the end; they're living room borders nothing and beyond where the stereo would be is their living room, then the stairway, then most of my living room as a buffer. But no, they have to have a disco instead of a dining room."Is it hot in here to you? It's very warm, isn't it?"--Nero, probably

That's it. I just wrote a long letter to the manager stating I was doing so because I didn't want to call the police with a noise complaint. But I may have to. It is now 10:42 pm. I can hear it all the way across my apartment in my bedroom. I put up with it Saturday morning and this afternoon. There is no peace on weekends. This is not right. I may not be home a lot, but I pay rent to be able to have some peace when I'm at home. I really, really do not want to be that lady but I would like to watch a movie in my own living room rather than being relegated to my bedroom with a laptop. Why do I own a TV if I don't get to use it because I can't hear it??"Is it hot in here to you? It's very warm, isn't it?"--Nero, probably

I could care less than you're roaming the neighborhood at all hours collecting returnable cans...well, until the unrinsed cans cluttering up your apartment (I once saw them bring 10 garbage bags full out the front door) start inviting vermin into the building. But do you have to sort them loudly under my window? At 2 AM?! One more time and I'm calling management."I am quite confident that I do exist."

That's gross! My downstairs neighbor has taken to leaving garbage bags and grocery bags of who-knows-what on the sidewalk outside the door we share to get into the basement laundry room. It's super gross, even not knowing what's inside them. With the recent snow, I've had to shovel around them. I'm scared what would spill out if I caught the shovel on one of those bags!"I look at the stars. It's a clear night and the Milky Way seems so near. That's where I'll be going soon. "We are all star stuff." I suddenly remember Delenn's line from Joe's script. Not a bad prospect. I am not afraid. In the meantime, let me close my eyes and sense the beauty around me. And take that breath under the dark sky full of stars. Breathe in. Breathe out. That's all."

Mom's now concerned that whoever-they-are (I know what building they live in and have narrowed it down to two apartments) is rummaging through the recycle bins before the bins go out to the curb; we take all our sensitive paper trash to Bent Staple for shredding, but a lot of tenants don't... If they're picking cans out of all the other flotsam here what else are they pawing through?"I am quite confident that I do exist."
