Neighbor advice?

(Anonymous) 2014-11-24 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
So my downstairs neighbors (I think) have taken to, I guess, hosting raves part time or something. This is the third night this week they have played their music CRAZY loud. We have pretty thick walls, so they are seriously blasting it for me to be able to hear lyrics in my apartment. It's also past 11 on a Sunday. I don't want to be a crotchety old woman, but I have work tomorrow and didn't sign up to live in a frat house. (As added context, I live in a relatively quiet neighborhood, in a pretty nice vintage apartment building. We're not far from the campus of a college, but we're far enough [and, generally speaking, priced high enough] that college kids don't generally live near me.)

I am losing my mind over the music. That said, I know it is their apartment and technically, I suppose, their right to do what they want with it. What do I do? Is it inappropriate to write them a note and ask them to keep it down in the future? I don't want to be an awful nature, but frankly, I do think it's pretty rude to throw a really loud party on a Sunday.

There's noise regulations for a reason, so you're not out of line to ask them turn it down, especially at night.

Depending where you are, there might be Cinderella laws, that cover things like noise and disturbances. You can talk to the neighbors themselves now or tomorrow, talk to your building manager, and if things persist, call the police. Really, you can.

Right now, try knocking on their door. And if they're dicks about, or don't lower the volume, talk to you building manager tonight.

Seconding what the others said, but if you feel too shy to confront the neighbor directly, slip a letter into their mailbox, anonymous or otherwise.
