I Called the Cops

Anonymous032819 — Mon, 06 Apr 2020 01:24:21 GMT

I used the NON-emergency number to call the cops on my neighbors who have been playing their thump-thump, boom-boom "music".

They have been playing it for FOUR HOURS!

My patience has run out.

It is giving me a headache!

Hopefully, it'll be turned down/off soon!

it sounds as if they are having a small party over there.

I thank my lucky stars that my suburban neighborhood is quiet as a cemetery. I wouldn't mind hearing some children playing now and again.

cops have to hear it for themselves and it has to be over 80 decibels on their noise meter. I've done that too on a guy revving his engine and back firing the exhaust. What I was told by the cops.

He did quit, though. Hope it works for you too. all these people are home right now and blowing off steam. Pray the economy gets back to normal soon. get everybody back to work. Maybe the kids will have to return sooner in the Fall, also.

Ah yes ... my cousin, who lived across the street from us, had renters who had a party at least once a month. Music blasting until 2a. Used to call the cops all the time. Did they think no one else can hear it?? And the best, about 1/2 hour after the cops left, they would start up again.

People are so inconsiderate. I hope the police got your neighbors to quiet down.

You would not believe the lengths I have gone to over the years for this kind of rude problem!

Once when living with my son the townhhouse neighbor palyed his music so loud it bounced the walls.

I promptly banged on the wall over and over-he got the message.

Another time in another townhouse connected to our neighbors,their teenage son (who later became a friend) blasted his music so loud it hurt!

So I turned on every radio, tv and anyting I could find, pointed it toward their wall and turned up the volume as loud as it would go!

My shining moment lol!

It worked!

Give it back to them-I suggest The Doors!

Rock on out louder than them!

That is if the police don't come.

Or play the opposite of what they are. Rap to Gospel etc. you get the idea lol!

I live in a 55+ condo community, and one would think this type of thing would not be a problem. I have neighbors on one side that play music way too loud. Fortunately, it usually doesn't last long. I am suspicious of the number of people they have living there. The people I see don't match the music I hear. The worst is the woman that lives above me. She has a piano in her unit. She knows how to play 4-5 songs and plays them over and over and over. These are songs from the 50's, 60's and 70's such as 'The Way We Were' and ' Love is a Many Splendored Thing'. When it gets bad I hide in my bedroom with my headphones and laptop. Someday I'll get the nerve to leave her a note reminding her she is not living on an island!!

Good for you. I hope they get in trouble. If they are having a party with more than who lives there I think they should. People should have respect for you. We all don't like loud music.

Local fb post today, showed a text from a 22 year old who had a party last night with over 200 people. Today, her roommate got news that their coroncavirus test was positive. I don't know if this is true or not, but anyone having a who does that should be in trouble.

We are rural and our neighbors have been in their homes for a long time. Most are seniors. We have mostly quiet all the time... Of course there is one exception... a territorial Mockingbird who knocks on my front window early morning and early afternoon.

@bonnielu Same here. I need to be more thankful that we don’t have neighbors too close although what has been described on this thread even we would hear!

I’m glad several folks here seem to have found a way to get peace and quiet. I could see some extra noise for a very short time but when it’s really bothering others, it needs to stop.

My next door neighbors on BOTH sides have been using this stay-at-home time to have work done on their homes. I have been woken up in the morning for two weeks by pounding. And then have to listen to it all day. Not so great for the nerves which are already frazzled.
