What to do with noisy neighbors?

If it is the day time, there is not much you can do. I had a friend who lived in a townhouse where the kids would come hang out all the time with the boom boxes. During the day, when they hung out, he would take his stereo which was loud, put on some bagpipe music. He explained to the neighbors what he was doing. The kids got upset, they came knocked on the door and asked him to lowerhis music. He said as long as their music was louder then his TV, he would continue to play his music when he felt like. They started going else where to hang out within 2 days.

Has he ever heard of earphones? Sheesh! I've been through this a lot and there is little that can be done other than move. It's not fair, but that's all you can do. And, there's no gaurantee that the next place won't have a person just like it. I've complained about neighbors before and nothing's ever been done about it. I've even been told that "I'm the only one who hears it" or "I'm the only one who complains about it".

I didn't know that the police wont do anything in the daytime. I remember staying in a council flat in London and right next door are group of young jamaican blacks who played loud music almost everyday. I didn't do anything but an old lady living nearby reported the matter to the police and they did come and stopped the noise. Well it depends really on the situation and how close you are with the other neighbors. I might talk to other people who are also bothered by the noise and see what can we do together.

If the city or town that you live in has a noise ordinance then I would suggest calling the local authorities. Although it may not seem like a "nice" thing to do, neither is blaring your music for everyone else to hear. If you don't have a noise ordinance, I would suggest knocking on his door every time it bothers you, maybe eventually they will get tired of getting griped at.

We had the same situation, and also in trailer park, not a neighbor but 3 trailers down and the worst music I can imagine. My son came home one day, walked over to the sterio, and turned it up as loud as it would go. I happened to be listening to my favorite Christian CD at the time. I just sat there and laughed. Amazing thing was the others didn't seem to play their music as loud again after that. If you want to try this I recommend Ray Boltz's song Roar!

your in a pickle. i once had a neighbor who played her stereo so loud it vibrated the wall and caused my ten speed bike to fall over on my head while i slept on the floor next to it...

It shouldn't matter if it is day or night for the police. He is still disturbing the peace. Does it bother other people there? If yyou get enough people to complain, tehn you could maybe sign a petition to get them to leave or make the mother do somethign about it.

Start by asking the people who are neighbors on left and right of the noismakers if they hear noise. If they DO, you might have some allies in this battle of the noises. If they don't hear noise, then it is all coming down through the floor. Go up and knock on the door and introduce yourself. Be polite, thell them you just want to get to know your neighbors. Say NOTHING about the noise on your first visit. Now you will know what they look like and you can say hi if you meet in the hallway or outside. After a few days, you will have developed enough friendliness you should be able to talk to them about the noise. If that doesn't work, talk to the building manager. They may not be aware how much noise they make. Cheaply constructed building????? If ever I have to be in apartment it WILL be the top floor. My parents had upstairs neighbors and I could hear every footstep.

Oh that is just what I was going to suggest calling the police. Where I am from there is a noise bylaw. Now I thought it was just after 11 pm but an officer told me it is 24 hours a day. I really don't know what else you could do. I live in a townhouse and our neighbour can get a bit loud at times. But in my situation it isn't too bad and we can live with it. I really don't know what to tell you. It sure is frustrating. Maybe call the police station and verify the law because as I said I always thought it was after 11 pm and they told me differently.

hmm... i live on an area near a basketball court, and usually if there is a game on there, i had can't sleep well.. :( so, somehow i can't do something about that too..

if possible i would shut of the power and take the fuse out of the power box

check whether only you are annoyed or there are anybody else is in your team or not?if so go to him & vent your grievances....and convince him to take some against him....go again to the manager with them..if no action is taken then...try and speak to that person directly....

Talk to the owner of the park? Or try to make some arrangement with the kid?

I like the bagpipes suggestion, but that would probably only irritate the situation, what you can do but it is mean is to take him to court, that will get his attention and his parents. Also document everytime that the music is up sop loud and every time you go over to politley ask that he turn it down, also everytime you have contact with the trailer park manager. You will need this for court, also if you end up going to a doctor for a nervous condition triggered by this loud noise you will want to document that. Going to court may help it should not make things any worse, at the least it will get the attention of someone. And maybe someone will turn the noise down. There are a couple of other things I can think of but it would just be too mean, so I will not mention those things. I will mention one last thing though you could have a party during the day time with your closest 25 or so friends this summer and not invite the noise makers. LOL

I would be persistant in dealing with the park OWNER, not manager. I also agree with the poster who suggested the police department's non-emergency number. Perhaps they would be willing to speak with the young man. Sadly, being as how it is daytime hours, it isn't considered as much of a problem as it would if it were night hours. I feel for you.

Yes the police will do something. It does not matter on what time of the day it is. Call the police. They will make a note on how many times you call the police on this child. The police than will get ahold of the managers of the trailer park. I live in an apartment complex, and our manager tells us to call the police.

make ur self there best neihbor by giving them good beaviar and then they will never fall u down

Icall police for that because Ido not like the noisy neighbors.

i can here solve any problem but 4 this i dont say just few words hear what our teacher said be polit kids

Better you give him a Smile and say Hi to him even if u don`t like him, and 3rd or 4th day you can tell him slowly that you like his music player, but it would be better if there is good songs with less noise, also tell him to play YOUR FAVOURITE SONGS.....
