Ignorant Neighbor

[CornField]

I think they have a whole freaking band (instead of just the neighbor and his bass guitar) playing in their basement tonight. My window that faces his house is rattling.

1. Call the cops....

:)

2. Can't. It isn't late enough yet.

The noise ordinance doesn't kick in for another 45 minutes.

4. You deserve some kind of peace in your home......

can't something be done during the day? :shrug:

[CornField]

5. No, there's no law in place regarding noise levels during the day

The only exception is for large semi trucks. They aren't allowed to jake brake in the city limits.

7. Hey, that's pretty cool!

I did drop a pair of headphones, complete with a red bow, on his porch. He didn't take the hint. LOL!

I might get one of these small amps for my husband. He loves stuff like that. Thanks!

6. I would just let it go until it gets later

If it's infrequent, then just ignore it. Try to work something out tomorrow and wear earplugs tonight.

12. Yup - that's the plan. He's got 2 minutes to finish up this rap session.

Maybe 5 minutes... just in case his clocks are off a bit.

8. i've got the solution

point your stereo at his window. Play Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music cd at full volume. He will get the point. I once used this cd to drive a family of squirrels out of my roof.

9. my neighborhood went ballistic

om a guy who played loud music in his garage day and night Everybody got together and called the sheriff ( we live in a remote area by a lake) every time he made a peep

No more hard rock a 3am OR 3pm

Maybe the creep MOVED

boy that noise carried across that channel like it was in the next room!!

10. WE DID try being nice first

but it didn't work

11. It's not well known how discriminating those squirrels are

13. You broght back memories

on my fortieth birthday, my son's band got out on the deck and played songs for me. But we invited the whole neighborhood so no one would be pissed. Worked out really well, until someone who lived a good bit further, that we didnt know, called the cops. It was about nine, and mostly over with. No biggie, best damn present I ever had. They sounded like Nirvana and Toadies mixed, and sure wish they were still playing together.
