How loud is too loud when you have neighbors close?

We do have neighbors who play loud music but only on times that they are celebrating something like weddings, and sometimes christmas and new year where everyone is celebrating. But if ever they play loud music on regular nights that can disturb the whole neighborhood, I would feel bad because they are not considerate of others.

Yea, there are no two ways about it - it IS rude to inflict noise or loudness on your neighborhood and impinge on their quietude. Unfortunately, it is perceived equally rude to seek to mitigate the harshness being enforced upon from vicinity - so the only treatment for this Achilles Heel situation is to be on good terms with your neighbors so that even if they inadvertently turn sonorous sometime, you could still genially ask of them to express a little more considerateness.

Music should not be so loud that other people in the other part of the duplex can not hear themselves think, let along hear someone else talk... Yes there are times that I like to play my music loud but their is a time for that... not when you are expecting someone to come over or someone is there.. That is a sign of disrespect... I have a room mate that would play his tv or his piano at all hours of the night, while my 5 year old and 3 month old were sleeping... that didnt go over well with me, I thought it was extremely rude

may be thats rude if it is done alltime n everyday but music is the best thing in world i usually hear music in my room coming in from the window of my room and start njoying n dancing automatically i njoy it thats why it doesn't bother me much in times of festivals 24hrs music is heard. u wont believe it but while studying i usually put on music it helps me to concentrate properly. u think its rude but is it necessary all should have the same thinking??? some people like me n ur bro njoy it!!!

jeah I think It sure annoying as hell.I would confront my neighbor if they keep on doing that.however if their volume wasn't that extreme I will try to approached them in a friendly manner. If my neighbor doesn't comply, then I will call appropriate agency or people to report the problem, so that they can take care of the situation.

I totally understand your point of view, because my neighbors are repairing their apartments all the time and it's so noise, that i can't hear even my own thoughts, what about the conversation i'm having with the people around Actually i don't think it's rude, i use other words for that and these words are: insolent, disrespectful, intolerant and others like this. May be because my neighbors are not a part of my family and this is why i use so hard words, but that's not normal. Everyone has bad and good moments, everyone needs respect. My boyfriend got his tuner for good sound from his computer and when the neighbors start doing repair, he start to listen music loudly. I have to say that i don't like that too. Even he is my boyfriend i find it really annoying, i just hate loud noises. That's how i always tell him - imagine that repair of their apartment are doing our neighbors who are living in the apartment over ours, why we have to bother the people, who live under us, with our music? They are not the one, who has to feel the result of our madness because of the neighbors who live over us? He always calm down then. I'm not sure that he understand my point of view, because he says - if people around don't respect me, i'm not going to respect them too. But around us we got 2-3 apartments. People next door, people over us, people under us, so if the people from one apartment doesn't respect you, why you have to bother all of the people - over, under and next door, because of one of all?

I have lived in apartments and dormitories for a long time now, and yes, it's rude to turn your music up too high...it's common courtesy, but if his neighbors are okay with it then I guess it's okay...but if your not okay with it then just talk to your brother about it...
