Well the only reason I'm still in the apartment is because it's a small town with limited options but the school district has the best special education staff and my sister has epilepsy. Once she graduates (in May), I'll definitely be moving into a house somewhere farther away from the congestion.

At any rate, I decided to go eye for an eye on the ******* and played about 10 solid minutes of Nickelback at full volume. The silence afterward was golden.

You should have played an hour of Gregorian Chant.

Hey neighbor, name's Ed. Where you from? Family's been on this land here for darn near 150 years. 12th generation chicken farmer, that's right. Hey, leeme show you around. Keep our roosters in pens down by the gully. Got 'bout 150 of them right now, don't keep too many. Boy but do they ever get going on a clear morning, I tell you what. 5k hens in the barn though, just popping out money.

All our runoff settles in the pond here across the fence from your place, makes for some good fertilizer. What ya planning on growin? Well if you want any you know where to get it. Best when it's fresh like now. Anytime you need, just borrow a bit. Don't be a stranger like the Johnsons over there. Never hear a peep from them, 'cept when their boy brings home a new rifle. Loves shooting those things off. Just between you and me though, boy ain't been right since he got back from Iraq couple years back. Bless him he's a good boy, just worry 'bout him is all.

Hey, do whatever works for you. You asked for ideas, so I tossed one out there. I wouldn't move because of a neighbour (I would because of a neighbourhood though). I'd have likely stayed quiet until I got really annoyed then I'd find ways to annoy him more than he annoys me. You did what I would do, just sooner than I would have.

Don't play dubsteb, you'll only make them stronger.


Play "Friday" by Rebecca Black with the bass cranked up. Make sure you go to Home Depot/Lowes and get a good hearing protecting headset with direction mic before that though.

Shouldn't you choose something you yourself like, but that they would find annoying? I mean, I'm assuming you're going to have to hear it too.

I can tolerate Nickelback, and even like a few songs. Why else would I have them available to play in the first place? Smiley: tongue In related news, I don't actually own a lot of dubstep. I'm very selective about that kind of music, and generally dislike the genre.

I figured that you were playing the music off of YouTube.

Or you could live in a house on a lot in a neighborhood. It strikes a good balance.

It's possible your neighbor just didn't realize that everyone around could hear his music playing and that provided the subtle hint needed. If not, I wouldn't continue to go toe to toe with him, but just call the cops if he's violating the noise laws. Hopefully it wont come to that though.

We don't need Homeowners Associations in Canada. We have government to tell us what to do.

Not if Amendment #12b to the Pine Glen Homeowners Association and Management Board Agreement passes at next Thursday's meeting. And, God and America willing, it will.

1am? Consider yourself lucky, my neighbors are outside playing soccer screaming "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL" until 6am at least once a week. One of their buddies is a bad drunk so usually we just have to wait it out until he picks a fight, then it usually deescalates and everyone goes home.

Yeah in the grand scheme of things, it's not that bad, but a steady incessant bass beat coming through the wall is just damn annoying.

It's funny that one of the arguments that are leveled against living in big cities like New York is the noise at night. Smiley: laugh

My neighbor's friend, who lives on the second floor, likes to inform my neighbor of his impending arrival by shouting his (my neighbor's) name from way down the hall. One of these days, I'm going to not be in bed when it happens, and then I'm going to kill him. Smiley: glare
