I am very sure of this:
"...two-day long..." is grammatically correct.
Another example would be:
"I have a two-day old child."
OR
"I have a child that is TWO DAYS old."
It's a hyphenated compound word expressing a single idea.

Unfortunately, I am going to have to agree with the first poster. I'm not bias, as my Mom's side of the family is hispanic. But they just don't seem to value their stuff as much and there is a LOT less order in their houses. The kids run around like savages. When I went to HS I was always envious of all the hispanic kids. They go to do WHATEVER they wanted. Of course I'm not envious anymore b/c they are all parents & never did anything with their lives. It's quit disheartening. My suggestion is to call upstairs each and everytime they are loud and pretend you are concerned. Ask them if everything is ok since you are hearing such loud noises. Pretend to be alarmed. If they wanna be fake you can be too! LOL. I had this same exact problem. The lady could only say "QUE?" when I addressed it. It was selective comprehension. The ignorant idiot knew exactly what I was saying but was always pretending to be stupid...or perhaps they really are...? :(

A two-day-long exhibition. But, "the exhibition was two days long." Generally, this form is taken when it is an adjectival phrase, as here; we would also say "a five-metre-high building", but "the building is five metres high". And I would put in that extra hyphen.

A two day long exhibitation will be held.
To use "two days" it would read: "The exhibition will be held for two days".

Two-day long. Same syntax rules as "A five-dollar bill" (you wouldn't say a "five-dollars bill").
