the great music battle

You can go see them and tell them a nice made up story about an ear illness you have.If they doný care, I suppose earplugs could be a way, or your own music if you can stand it so loud. Only once in my life I had a music war with a neighbor, but I have not repented after 20 years. I had the bad luck of living across the street of the worst man od Pinochet´s regime (a chilean dictator). After 1985, the chileans started to do things to oppose them. We banged pot lids from our homes. The man put war songs full volume. Our song was "El Himno a la Alegría" based on the choral part of Beethoven´s 9th Symphony. I did not have the song in Spanish so I put Beethoven´s 9th Symphony as loud as my record played could do it. I hope he did not like it. Now he´s in jail, but as those people still have power of a kind, that jail is a lot better than many hard working chilean´s home. Maybe talking to them you will know why they do it.If you can´t lick ém, join them.

I have had a similar issue in that my neighbor in the next house over, that's house mind you not apartment.. they are constantly playing rap music (which I despise by the way) but the fact is they play it at all hours so even if they were playing something I liked it would still be WAY too loud.. Also they crank up the bass so that my walls shake.. honestly I tried to go to bed the other night and all I heard was the boomp boomp boomp of the bass next door.. I obviously wasn't the only one annoyed I saw the police driving by with their spotlight out and guess so did my neighbor because for that night anyway the music ceased..ahh thankfully because it was 11 PM... I'm getting even though in my own twisted way.. I've introduced them to Ozzy Osbourne and a little Black Sabbath tucked in there... any hard metal loud music will work.. Try giving your Polish neighbors and Christmas lovers a little taste of Danzig or Ozzy, or any Heavy Metal group and blare it and I mean blare it until you yourself can't stand it.. Your neighbors will get the hint... TRUST ME

I've had loud neighbors, but never warring, loud neighbors. How about if I send you a couple of opera CDs. I bet your neighbors would love them. (evil grin)

Opera music would be good. I had partying neighbors afew years back. One that was understanding and would keep it down and then the other would come home and start loud music and partying at all hours. The other finally moved out and I had to contend with the other. Finally called the police twice and it did end.

There is a third choice. You could check with your community to see if there's a noise ordinance. Playing music of any sort for personal pleasure is anyone's right. Playing it loud for the purpose of annoying the 'competition' and leaving you in the cross-hairs is not. Over here people can be fined if music is loud enought to be annoying. You could ignore it, since they do turn it down early. That still leaves you hanging while they play it though. Polish music by itself doesn't bother me since I grew up with my grandparents playing it on Sunday mornings. To listen to it all the time is another story. And to listen to it with competing and totally different music is borderline on torture. I can be pretty confrontational if I'm annoyed enough. If there are no noise ordinances, I'd probably play something to 'out-annoy' both parties. Opera would probably do it if you can stand it. Classical, heavy metal, rap, Celtic...lots of different genres would work. Comedy is another interesting choice, Monty Python full volume. Take your pick & good luck!

You could try telling them that noise kills. I suppose it won't help, but you could try. As for proving it: Accidents, both of the not very serious kind and the fatal once, happen more often when people are stressed and/or unconcentrated. Both stress and lack of concentration can be due to lack of sleep, or waking up at night. What wakes you up at night? Noise! Not joking here. For a more unserious answer: by yourself the biggest loudspeakers you can find. The more the better. Place them so that you'll get sound transferred to wall in addition to air. Very important, you want them to feel the low frequencies. Then you get something that neither of them plays, possibly with a lot of low brass. I would have gone for Mahler or Wagner symphonies, but there's lot of nice music in many changres that don't match any of theirs. Then you could be sensible and just leave them to it. But that's no fun, is it? I've never had waring neigbours but one of my friends great aunt used to live next to them, and after they quarreled about some stupid thing she started a real war. She sent the health department, the agricultural department and the police at their door. It didn't end before she had to move to a retirement home, horrible old woman.

Lol well no not Neighbour but I had 2 Teenage Children that would play this Game till I unplugged the Stereos lol If it does not really bother you I would take bets on who is going to win lol let me know if you won the Bet

I do not think I can remember any warring neighbors. When I was very first married, the first time, I moved from the middle of the country to Southern California. Southern California is very close to Mexico, and we lived about three miles from the border. Lots of our neighbors were Mexican and liked the same kind of music. We lived in a mobile home park, and every trailer around us seemed to be playing the same music, the same radio station, at top volume so that the whole trailer vibrated. It was like living inside of a stereo speaker. In your case, since the music on each side does not bother you, I would sit back and laugh, and see what developed as time goes on.

Oh join in for sure! Something by the Spice Girls should surely drive them over the edge. I use to have neighbors that were fairly close and they played some awful rap music very loud so, I made sure that my stereo was louder and I played some very heavy metal. Which they soon realized that I wasn't impressed with their loud music and quit playing theirs so loud.

You never mentioned this hideous monstrosity. As you are only renting it won't matter if you report them which would be a hideous mistake if you owned the place. This is noise pollution and you must report it and have them imprisoned at once, or get the nice man who comes round to check it to take their equipment away.

What!!! Polish music in war with Christmas music (lmfao). I'm sorry, but just the idea of people bumping this type type of music loud and hard all day like it's rap or R & B or rock (and against each other) just sounds hilarious. Well, be lucky they're responsible enough to where they get up and go to work, so you do get some peace, because in some buildings and in certain neighborhoods this would on all day and night, among other drama.
