You should just shoot back.  Maybe put a big target on their house!\n\nNo, but seriously if they do it at the same time everyday, maybe your dad could have time where he puts headphones on and listens to music? I don't really think there is much that can be done about it though.  Sorry!

Go ahead and call the cops!  The general rule is that if you can hear it from 25 feet or more away, the person making the noise is disturbing the peace (of course, this has reasonable exceptions like construction work, emergency vehicles, and so on).  Ask the police for a copy of the report number, and present a copy of that to the building manager.  Continuing to disturb other tenants like that is usually an evictable offense.

These laws are made on a county/city/local level.  In Pensacola/Escambia County it doesn't matter what time of day it is if the neighbors are playing LOUD music the sheriff's department will send someone out to ask them to turn it down.  I believe it is 9 or 10 pm that is the quiet time, but I don't think they enforce it by giving fines like they did at one time.

All states have laws to protect homeowners and renters.  I am a Realtor and have studied the laws regarding your problem.  The basic law says that a homeowner/tenant has the right to quiet enjoyment of their domain.  It sounds like your neighbor just doesn't like any noise out of the ordinary like a vacuum cleaner or garbage disposal or general talking.  In my opinion your neighbor is being very picky about your noise issues but on the side of the neighbor, the noises you say you are making can be annoying to some people. As for you being a renter, The neighbor has no right to discriminate against you because you rent and not own the unit you live in.  My suggestion is to apologize to the neighbor about the noise and explain why the noise is necessary and come to an agreement as to a specific time you can create the noises.

Hi jmde,\nIf you are music fanatic like me, your neighbors should tip off the proper authorities about your talents in no time. You only need to turn up the volume and make your sounds be heard!\n-Justin

I'll be honest, I have done the same.  I can't help it if my neighbors are loud. If you're yelling and I can hear it, you obviously don't care who hears it.  It can't be all that bad if it made you and your wife want to be nicer to each other.  I mean, at least their fightning did somebody some good.  :)

Check the sound ordinance in your town.  In Philadelphia if you crank the tunes after 10pm the cops will give you a ticket.\n\nCall the cops a few times and he'll stop.

I had the same problem last year. Two really hot Marines moved in next door who thought it was socially acceptable to blair their music at 2 on a Tuesday morning. I've adopted the three strikes rule. I give verbal warning two times, just really politely go to their apartment and say, "Hey guys, I'm trying to sleep, I've got class in the morning, could you please turn it down." On the third time, I let them know that if they can't turn it down, I'm going to have to call the police for a noise violation. If that doesn't work (and it hasn't on at least two occassions), I call the police. \n\nIt seems really mean but you pay good money to live in your apartment and there's no reason why you can't expect to have quiet during normal sleeping hours (which I consider to be between 10-6).

A lot of people think nothing can be done when it comes to noise issues. It is hard to evict someone for breaking the noise ordinance. Contacting the Mgt is one way to go but usually gets no results. What I do is tell the person they are to loud at night (in a nice way). This is hard for a lot of people to do because of fear of retaliation. If you can do this first step that’s great. \n\nIf the first step isn’t working for you call the police. You can request to remain anonymous. Before hanging up with the police ask for the call # and write it down. This is your proof that you called and that you were disturbed. Have the police talk to the people causing the problem. \n\nNow that you have a call # it is time to keep track of times you are disturbed. What you need to do is write: (1) The time the disturbance started and ended. (2) What type of noise was it. (3) What you were doing at the time of disturbance (sleeping, reading, family time ect…. This should be kept in order.\n\nIf this is an ongoing problem don’t call the police every time you are disturbed. Instead do what I mentioned above. Call the police once a week and let the police talk to your neighbors. Every time you call the police ask for the call # and tell them what call #’s you have and request that your call #s be noted on the new call. This makes it a lot easier to build a case.  Wait one month and if the problem still continues call the police and request that you be contacted. When the officer arrives provide all the call #s and your list of items from above.  Request that charges are filed on the person causing the problem. In may cities a noise disturbance is a class one misdemeanor. \n\nContinue to keep track. \n\nThe reason for the steps above…. If this ends up in court you will have good hard evidence. The list will tell the court what a pain this person is. The call #s will show the court that it was you that called the police in attempt to resolve the issue.  Both list and #s are the most important part. You might ask why not call the police every time….. My answer, it makes no sense. The police were there once this week and the problem is still ongoing. The people are ignoring authority. Calling once a week is good. The court loves to see that someone has everything in order. \n\nDo not retaliate by making noise.
