what's the best way to wage war against a downstairs neighbour that plays very loud music with a banging bass? would it be :-
a) complain b) play music and have a contest to see who is the loudest c) but an electric guitar amp face down on the floor and strum for your life d) jump up and down on the floor hysterically while screaming 'turn it f-ing down'
answer on a postcard
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ He who laughs last didn't get the joke.
Eat drink and be merry, for tomorrow they may make it illegal.
Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.

Am sitting here giggling as you have just reminded me of a couple of neighbours further up the street. One played loud rock music so the old geezer next door put in records of bagpipe music!!! The old geezer won that battle but developed a taste for playing the bagpipe music really, really loud. Far enough away from me to be funny.
**Just wants to pass some time without any hassle**
Ah, it's a good tactical point. If you are going to play loud music, you need to make sure it's going to be something that the other person will find really aggravating. Don't fight bass with bass!

I think in cases like this a polite personal approach to the person concerned is best with an explanation of the fact that the music is very annoying to you and could they not use a set of personal earphones.....if that fails to work then play........

well, she had a go at me when she first moved in about my children playing and running around, so i now have to shout at them every 5 minutes to stop stamping across the floor, (i believe it unfair) i make sure my tv is turned down as she moaned at me while i was at work one day about the loudness of a film i was watching, it was lethal weapon, a loud film anyway, i am now banned from watching that at night. i don't have all night parties, infact i make hardly any sound after 7pm because of all the moaning, now i get woken up at 8:30am on a sunday by loud music! i'm sorry, but the friendly approach is out the window!

Sounds like us in our last house. The new neighbours complained about how loud the kids were. We were tiptoeing daring not to sneeze but they carried on regardless even when we said 'do you not think if you can hear us we can hear you.' Her husband was deaf but in denial about how badly so you can imagine how loud the tv was - and he liked sixties music esp. Elvis (urgh) Anyway, gave up complaining as we were trying to sell but ... when we did sell we took a week off work to clean the house which included hoovering up at 6.00a.m. Waiting for them to go to bed and hoovering again. Taking apart a king size bed (with hammer) to fit into car for tip run. Double plus, as we had no furniture we were not living in the house but our (other nice) neighbour was putting us up.
Oh, definitely THE universal problem and to one of which I am paranoid.
Unless you live in a detatched house in the middle of a field, you are vulnerable. Knowing my luck, I'd buy said house, move in, recline and relax only to discover it was on one of the RAF's favourite low flight corridors.
Sitting in my mate's stunning £1.25M in NW London's most desirable district, you can often hear next door's grand piano.

Well if they are not showing you the consideration that you are showing them, then the consideration should end. I still don't think you should make deliberate noise; but if your kids start having lots of excitable friends over every weekend.... then... well... you are just living your life...

Explain to her about your early release scheme, the parole board gave you a break, letting you out of the maximum security facility to see if it was possible for you to blend back into society. I mean, it really was not your fault what happened, this just sent you CRAZY!
