I live in an apartment. It's 2:40am and my douchebag neighbours won't shut the **** up. I can't sleep. They're having some kind of small party thing...sounds like not a lot of people, but with talking/shouting etc. I generally avoid confrontations but I'm this close to going over there and telling them to shut up (for all the good it will do) and threatening to call the police.

For Christ's sake. Now they're singing. This is my third apartment, but it's the first one where people just don't give a ****.

They could probably be ticketed, particularly if they're just obnoxiously loud or have a history of getting the cops called on them. That might depend on local laws, but I'm guessing that pretty much everywhere has noise ordinances.

play some loud screamer porn?

Yes, it's worth a call..

Don't be a douche bag.

Yeah, don't be a JM.

I don't really know what else the cops could do than say "TUT TUT YOU SHOULD BE MORE SILENT GOOD SIRS" to those wankers so you better implant drugs or something there. Gee, I dunno.

Are they like this just on the weekends or during the week as well?

If that happened here, I could cite/arrest for Disorderly Conduct.

Maybe thats why you were murdered.

Maybe.

I did have a drunk kid threaten me this morning...he ended up going to jail anyway. All is well.

were you invited over? if not, crash that ****.

I had this problem about three weeks ago. I decided to solve it the old fashioned way.

The kid that moved in below me is a DJ, I guess, he sucks ***. Same five beats go over everything he mixes.

Really, I couldn't give a ****. The problem is that I go to school at night, and work third shift. I sleep during the day. He liked to start up with the noise at about 11 or 12 in the afternoon. Not ****ing doing it for me.

So I left a note, woke me up again, I left another note, woke me up again.

I left a third note, and he still started this **** again. Now on each note I specified a good time for him to start being retarded, somewhere by about 3pm, by which I'm awake or need to be awake.

After being civil and not getting anywhere I just went down there and started pounding on his door. When he opened it, I closed distance, got in his face and started screaming. Eventually I told him if he wakes me up again that I would beat the ever living piss out of him.

He hasn't made a peep since.

And this is why I don't live in an apartment...

Because you still live with mom and dad?

That doesn't count brother.

Nope, privately owned duplex that I rent from the owner, and my neighbors are nice, quiet people.

Nice try though.

You know, you could try just going over there and asking politely first before calling the cops/screaming at him.

*shrug*

Or you could purchase a couple of 15 inch subwoofers and play a pulsating low frequency tone. Not like beat, of course, but an obnoxious, slow, steady feverish pulse. I'm guessing that that should kill a party pretty quickly.

Yes the cops will come over and tell them to shut the **** up. I had that problem a few months ago with some neighbors beside us that still live there. It was about 5 am, and they were playing their music SO loud, that someone from 4 floors up came down to tell them to shut up. The walls of my apartment were shaking from the music.

Now, I could care less about loud music as I play mine loud too, but during the day, not 5 am when I have work and school coming up. So, I went over to their apartment myself, knocked on the door, no answer. I waited 15 minutes, nothing changed so I went back, kicked their door as hard as I could and heard some ***** inside yell "I'm not answering that ****ing door". So, there's a crack in the bottom of the doors, I bent down and yelled into it as loud as I could that they had 5 minutes to turn their **** off, or the cops would be the next ones knocking on their door.

We're now at 6 am, and the music is louder than ever. I called the cops and it takes them 45 minutes to show up. It's now 6:45, roughly, and the music has been turned off for about 15 minutes or so. Although you can still hear the ****ers on their balcony yelling at the top of their lungs. When the cops show up, I am standing in the hallway waiting for them. They hear that there is no music and one of them says "You know you can actually call and cancel right?" to which I reply "Yeah well you know you can take less than almost an hour next time right? Or how about this... " Opening my apartment door, I let them hear the yelling off their balcony to which the cop nods and tells me to shut my door.

THe next thing I know I heard something louder than their music on their front door. The next thing I know I hear the cops blasting them and so on and so forth.

Their music has never been loud since. That was 5 months ago roughly. So I would say, yes, it is worth it.

No need to be a dick...sometimes there are more important things going on. Glad to hear it worked out, though.

I completely agree there was no need for me to be a dick. But, I was extremely cranky from being kept up all night already by morons that were too loud, and the cop thinking just because he had a badge that he could walk in at that time and be all arrogant to me in the first place saying "You know you CAN cancel right?" was enough to make me say that back to him. I wasn't pissed that it took them long to get here, I absolutely understand that murderers and robbers take precedence over someone being a bit too loud. It was just the manner in which he said it to me compounded with how tired I was. If he had said it in a less condescending tone, or it wasn't already almost 7 am, I probably would have just smiled and nodded. I don't think he would appreciate me talking to him in that manner just because I thought I could.

BROWN NOISE THEM.

Good thing I surf from the can. But. I don't think computer speakers can reproduce notes that low. Also. Different speakers are different. So. Even if there was a brown note, that wouldn't work.

I'm actually moving out this month. I've just lined up a new place which is like 10000 times more awesome than my current dump/hovel/tenement...

It seems at bit too good to be true. There must be some kind of catch waiting to get me.

uhhh for some reason this video made me piss my pants instead?!

Jesus ****in what the **** christ

Seriously. As someone who has hosted many a loud party before, this is by far the most effective way of getting people to be quiet.

I don't understand how you can be upset, Tracer. From their perspective, they aren't bothering anyone. They probably think that if someone cared, someone would tell them.

Edit: To clarify, yes, they shouldn't be oblivious to the fact that people may be trying to sleep, but they also may not realize how much noise they're making. The guys that live below me blast really loud, bassy music all the time. The bass sounds are loud, but muted through the floor, so it doesn't really bother us. Presumably it doesn't bother anyone else in our little building (4 apartments per building, it's a little villa setup), because they've been doing it for 2 years and no one has said anything.

Wow! I listened to this like 4 hours ago and now I kind of need to poop.

--Amazed

it works so well i already pooped and i haven't even listened!
