    From my experience, people this noisy are unlikely to be cooperative about it. Or anything else

      This has been my experience too. A random party w/ friends that rages until the next morning after 2 months of silence? Sorry, didn’t mean to be that loud. We’ll keep it down next time, let you know in advance, & even extend an invite. An every 3rd day blasting of music at whatever hour? Fuck you, I pay rent, I don’t care if it bothers you.

      Might be. Wouldn’t know until you try, though.

      I have a schizophrenic alcoholic 60y troll of a woman (like troll, physically) living upstairs. Always banging, screaming, listening to shitty drinking songs on a loop.

      But I went over. Several times.

      Now I just wear earplugs, take benzos and occasionally think about picking up my hammer and going for another “talk”. I thought about milder options as well. Superglue in her keyhole? Then she’d have to call a locksmith, and she’s not capable of holding a conversation long enough to convey she needs one.

      Wish she had bt speakers I could hack, but that’d probably just make her scream more.

      And the landlord won’t do shit after years of me sending videos of this loony.

        Get your own speakers. Point them up. Play the Doom OST.

        This can be everyone’s problem, not just yours.

          Oh I have them. I don’t think she’s ever heard them over the sound of her drinking songs, screeching and the demons screeching in her head.

          I thought if some official person ever saw her, she’d fly out. So that’s why I thought glue in the keyhole, so she has to call a locksmith (which I’m sure she won’t manage) and then that person will see into her apartment. Where I don’t know what the shit she does, bangs and drills and jumps all day. It’s like she’s woodworking or something every wednesday.

          Landlord doesn’t give a shit. I’ve sent videos and doesn’t even go check her.

          I’d love to get my subwoofer screwed tightly to the roof and then just turn that on for lulz when she gets crazy. Which is pretty much everyday. But then when will I have peace?

          Haven’t read a single book while living in this apartment.

      I’ve found the opposite.

      A lot of people don’t understand just how paperthin those walls are or they come from an environment of “there will be noise”. If someone actually, politely, asks them to keep it down during reasonable hours, then people usually will.

      The issue is when people pound on the door as though the noise maker is the greatest asshole ever. That triggers spite. Same with unreasonable demands.

      Like, if someone asks me to keep it down at 10 PM? I will apologize like hell and turn it down. You ask me to keep it down at 9 am? I will probably tell you to go fuck yourself and explain that you live in an apartment building and there is going to be noise.


      Fun story time! One of my exes was very much “the loud neighbor”. Clomping around in heavy slippers at all hours of the night, playing loud music, turning up her tv, having a subwoofer in an apartment, etc. After I realized and felt bad I had an awkward talk like “hey… have any of your neighbors ever complained? Because if this were my apartment they would hear this god awful lawyer show from the lobby”. She didn’t believe me so I told her to just step out into the hallway and then she was MORTIFIED. Immediately turned down everything and unplugged the sub. Even wrote up a nice letter that she taped on all her neighbors’ doors to apologize.

      Within a week there had been a complaint filed against her for “vandalizing” someone’s door… by taping an apology note on there.

      Good times.
