It must be all those voices in your head. Get some PROZAC quick!

If I understand, it is your tenants that are making the noise?  I think partially it is your responsibility to let your tenants know this type of behavior will not be tolerated. I don't know that you can really make an impact now though. In the future, maybe put something in the lease about noise violations.  The neighbors need to call the police though and register a complaint.  If the law comes several times, the tenants will begin to get the idea.  Good luck with that.

I believe the only parts of a pc which produce noise are the Power Supply fan and/or the hard drive.\nIf it's the fan, then it sounds like you need a new Power Supply (thankfully these aren't expensive) - however, if it's the hard drive that's making noise, it's a good sign that it's on it's way out - in which case, back up your data and replace it!

You could have a sleep disorder.  Go to your doctor and he might send you for a sleep study.\n\nIf not, you may just be a light sleeper.  Try wearing earplugs, or turn on some sort of white noise to drown out other small noises.

Seriously, call the cops. It's inconsiderate for them to be having parties on a TUESDAY so late and loud. File noise complaint with your leasing office, or perhaps you can go over and talk to them. State that if they don't keep the music down, you will be forced to call the cops. I live in a townhome too so I know that the noise level echos.

don't switch off the lights and turn on the radio or something (some soft kind of music)..if you have a pet, sleep with it by you or at least in your room.those work for me ;)

Some noises are normal and some are indicators that certain hardware like the hard drive may have a scratch on it or may be on it's way out. I would suggest backing up your data that you want to keep (Windows has a Backup Wizard found in accessories) and either wait for it to go out or have it looked at by an A+ Technician. Do not take no for an answer when you ask for an A+ Technician also ask for thier CompTia A+ Card.\nJohn\nA+ Certified Professional

Yes, I know what you mean I work 7p-7a.\n\nTry getting a fan I use one of the old fashioned square box fans it may take a little while to get accustomed to but it drowns out alot of the other noises,sounds crazy but it works, there are alot of us at work that use them.

Chinese Medicine is capable of treating this problem, especially if the noise is loud. Find a licenced acupuncturist in your area, don't go for medical acupuncturist (i.e. M.D. trained in acupuncture, they spend only 200 hours learning this, while licenced acupuncturists study for about 3000 hours - the longest Graduate program in the country LOL)\nGood luck

Set numerous alarms to go off two minutes apart.  You'll never have time to fall back asleep, and you'll get out of bed to stop the noise!

Use earplugs or just cover up your head and continue to sleep. There  is always a way to get around noise when you are sleeping. If that dont work go to bed early so that it wont bother u so much when your borther gets up and gets ready for school

well if its loud enough to disturb them then yes you should probably turn it down a little\n\nin a way by yelling outside of your door they might feel they are giving you a taste of your own medicine, I mean its still rude of them, I'm just saying try and understand where their fustrations come from\n\nalso it might help if you move the TV/speakers away from any walls near your neighbours, that might lessen the noise for them

It's not dust, although that is a contributing factor.\n\nAll computers, desktops and laptops, hum to a certain degree. The higher performance it is, the more quiet it is (often). The humming you hear is your computer working, and as it works it gets hot, which makes a little fan go off to prevent fires in your computer. If your laptop has been on a while then it will almost certainly hum, also if you're running high-memory processes like games or big files. That goes double if your laptop is older or entry-level.\n\nWhat you can do is: \n- buy a new laptop. (don't reccommend, although you can get one for $600 from Dell)\n- put the laptop on a soft, sound-absorbing surface (think placemats, blankets, mousepads, anything like that, the thicker the better)]\n- upgrade RAM to make things easier on your laptop. You can buy 512MB of RAM for about $49, make sure you know the right kind to buy and the right brands (I reccomend Kingston Technologies).\n\nhope i helped.

It depends on the type of the dorm and the university itself.  Yes, there will be constant noise because it is a college campus, but if you get a single, then you can close the door when you want to study.  If you have roommates and they like to make noise, then you probably have to head down to the library to get some real work done.  There are fewer distractions there anyway.

Not to be a jerk or anything but if you are running a home business don't you think you should be getting up as early as 7:00am anyways?\n\nYou could always plug your ears with ear plugs when you go to sleep, coupled by playing some soft music it may actually help dround out the noise.\n\nAbout disturbing your business you may want to contact the city to see what options they may be able to suggest.

Your city or town probably has a noise ordinance that prohibits loud noise after certain hours. If you aren't getting anywhere with the council, call the police each and every time this happens. They will get tired of having to go out there that often and will eventually do something. You may also want to go to a town council meeting if they are public held and bring it up there. They will be more apt to do something if other people are around to hear them address the issue. You can also write a letter to the editor of your local paper and say that the council won't do anything. No one in public view wants to look bad. They will eventually be forced to deal with the issue.
