What can I do about noisy neighbors?

Question

I have neighbors that are the most noisy, and frat boy like that I have ever heard in my entire life. They just moved in for rent next door and they are acting as though they lived in the neighborhood for years. We even told them that they were too loud and would they mind keeping it down but they dont listen. Even right now I can hear them screaming outside as theyre playing a game of ping pong with only about 5 people and music blasting. They are literally screaming out their lungs as though it was a football game. What should I do? I even talk to the landlord and he doesnt do anything about it. I call the police but they just come and then go and then it gets loud again. What can I do or say to the police in order for them to stop this loudness?

And another thing is that all my other neighbors hate them too.. I even know one neighbor that actually started throwing beer bottles at their house because they were so loud.. and then those loud neighbors actually called the cops.. luckily they didnt know who threw it at them. There were alot of cops that night and they ask everyone who came out to look.

Get this.. the landlords son lives in the back house. Even he is fed up with the noise. He even tells the tenants but they dont listen to him. So instead of staying he just drives to his parents house and stay over there because he has work in the morning. That's how loud and bad its gotten. We even tell him to evict them but he says until the lease expires. doesnt make sense. These 2 guys arent even gangsters. They are just 2 white middle class fraternity boys.

Answer 1

Call the police or contact the manager. You pay rent there and deserve to live there with a reasonable amount of quiet. They do not have to like you, obviously they dont mind if you like them.

Answer 2

Call the police, and tell them that they are disturbing the peace. If the loud music, noise, etc., starts up again, call the police back out again. If you have more than one neighbor, have some of the other neighbors call the police also. If the police keep getting calls they will get tired of having to keep coming out to that address and will do something about the noise. Good Luck.

Have a great day!

i live in a college town and we have the same problem. there is a noise ordinance in this town, if people are loud after 10 pm then they can be heavily fined. I have called the police out and they have taken care of things (most of the time). here are the steps for handling people that are loud, in order of desperation:

1) talk to the ppl making the noise. explain that you need quiet in order to work. you have small children that are trying to sleep. your 80 -year grandmother has a bad heart and needs to rest, if you make a lot of noise she could die. (who said this stuff has to be true?) don't raise your voice or get excited. they may actually enjoy irritating you, but most likely just inconsiderate.

2) if that doesn't work, then call the police. you shouldn't have to explain yourself. you should do some research to see what kinds of laws you have in your city.

3) give them a taste of their own medicine. first you need to study their musical tastes. then play music really loud from the opposite of the musical spectrum. in our case we played some opera very loudly. this was enough to drive them nuts and go somewhere else. and they can't complain can they? (and I like opera so it wasn't a problem for me.)

5) if worst comes to worst, this technique can work: you take your video camera and take some movies of them being loud, and mail this to their parents. you will need their names and addresses. talk to the college where they are going, they may crack down on them too, esp. if it is a fraternity house.

6) I wonder if you can sue them?

Answer 4

Start breaking down the wall that seperates the two appartments with a hammer. Stick dead fish in the wall and seal it back up. Now go on vacation for a couple of weeks. When you come back they'll be gone. So will the landlord.

Answer 5

The only thing you can do is keep reporting it and send certified letters to the landlord every time they get loud.

Here the law states you have to keep it down to reasonable noise as soon as 10pm hits.. But the police really do have more important things to tend to. So I would only report it if they are lowd and unruley after midnight.

Answer 6

keep calling the cops .... eventually, they will have to quiet down or leave .. you can sue the landlord as a homeowners group and probably get damages ... complain to city hall about a noise abaitment ordnance .... if you all keep suing the landlord, he will oust them because the suits will eat into his profits .. call the landlord and report any damage they do to his house .. if the landlord is pestered enough, he will move them out

Answer 7

if its before or after the hours specified by city ordinances, call the police and tell them they are disturbing the peace by having a loud party, the police will then tell them to keep it down. if that doesn't work, call again & the police will shut the party down

Answer 8

well it obviously sounds or reads like a 'disturbing the peace' situation this is the common law throughout the states.
your neighbors as you have the right to life liberty,and the pursuit of happiness however their right stops when their actions breach your rights.
