How can am getting my loud apartment neighbors to be shut up?

Question

They are soOoOoOo noisy and they have parties all time with loud music--sometimes until 6am!?!?!? Their livingroom wall is our bedroom wall, and they like to play their stereo with alot of loud drum...Even though am 18 and my husband is 26, NO WAY we will have loud party like this! What should we do in this situation? (We are from Middle East, and so people acting like this is not common)

BTW, I should also mention we hear them a man sometime scream...also if i mean that Canadiyyian ppl are rude no they are very nice but am meaning when a people are always dancing to drum or scream like monkey we think they are possessed by Jinn

Answer 1

Start chanting "Allah Ackbar!!!!!" and if they yell back, tell them you will saw there heads off slowly, Muslim style.

Answer 2

I would start with the apartment manager. If you can record the noise before you approach the manager, that would be even better. Make notes for 1 week of the times and duration of the noise. Then also make notes as to when you talk to the manager. Do this every time you talk to them about this. The reason you want to do this is so that if the problem is not resolved in a reasonable amount of time, you can push the landlord to break your lease if you have one and move.

I have learned my lesson about approaching neighbors about anything--DO NOT go directly to the neighbor! Always use an intermediary. That way, they will never know who complained and you will not have to worry as much about retaliation. And unfortunately, people who behave this way will often retaliate, so be prepared.

People like that make life so unpleasant! Good luck.

I feel you on this, because I used to live in an apartment with an infant, and this woman always had her TV on at full volume when we were all trying to sleep. The best thing we ever did for ourselves was to go and talk to her about it, and she was very nice and apologetic. Now we live in a house, and we've had a few problems with one neighbor who always has their bass up very loud, but again we just went over and talked to them and they were very apologetic. This is often the easiest and most friendly way to handle the situation.

However, if you knock on their door and they refuse to turn it down or act hostile to you about it, call the cops. There are noise laws in most places, especially at night.

So, these are French people, talking with the windows open, during the day? Good luck with that. Management is going to laugh at you, and the French people are as well. If it were after 10pm you'd have a point, but it's the day time and they are only talking.

Having a trained dog isn’t the same as having a balanced dog, but if your dog knows a few basic commands, it can be helpful when tackling problem behaviors — existing ones or those that may develop in the future. Learn here https://tr.im/tHhdO

So where do you start with dog obedience training? You could take a class, but it’s not necessary; you can do it yourself. In fact, with the right attitude, it can be fun for both you and your dog!
Step 1 : Sit
This is one of the easiest dog obedience commands to teach, so it’s a good one to start with.
• Hold a treat close to your dog’s nose.
• Move your hand up, allowing his head to follow the treat and causing his bottom to lower.
• Once he’s in sitting position, say “Sit,” give him the treat, and share affection.
Repeat this sequence a few times every day until your dog has it mastered. Then ask your dog to sit before mealtime, when leaving for walks, and during other situations where you’d like him calm and seated.
Step 2 : Come
This command can help keep a dog out of trouble, bringing him back to you if you lose grip on the leash or accidentally leave the front door open.
• Put a leash and collar on your dog.
• Go down to his level and say, “Come,” while gently pulling on the leash.
• When he gets to you, reward him with affection and a treat.
Once he’s mastered it with the leash, remove it — and practice the command in a safe, enclosed area.
Step 3 : Down
This can be one of the more difficult commands in dog obedience training. Why? Because the position is a submissive posture. You can help by keeping training positive and relaxed, particularly with fearful or anxious dogs.
• Find a particularly good smelling treat, and hold it in your closed fist.
• Hold your hand up to your dog’s snout. When he sniffs it, move your hand to the floor, so he follows.
• Then slide your hand along the ground in front of him to encourage his body to follow his head.
• Once he’s in the down position, say “Down,” give him the treat, and share affection.
Repeat it every day. If your dog tries to sit up or lunges toward your hand, say “No” and take your hand away. Don’t push him into a down position, and encourage every step your dog takes toward the right position. After all, he’s working hard to figure it out!

You know what I've done?

I stomped the hell outta the floor... I banged the hell outta the walls... When that didn't work, I called the office to get the security guys to tell them to shut up. This happened repeatedly until the point they were going to be evicted. That's when the neighbors came up and said we should just go downstairs to tell them to shut up ourselves rather than getting the security guys to do so. I am NOT going outside when it's raining cats and dogs just to get them to turn their music off. So... they finally shut up.

And now it's fine. And now, when they play loud music every now and then, I play mine really, REALLY loud... then they shut back up. LOL.



I've had plenty of experience in this apartment. Call the office...... or call the police.

Answer 7

On a day when they're not playing loud music, you need to play really loud music so that they know how it feels and how annoying it is. They might not know how loud it actually sounds. If that doesn't work, simply just ask them to turn it down. And if that doesn't work, tell the landlord.

Answer 8

I hate it when people tell you to call the office or police. The right thing to do is to talk to them first, then if that doesn't work go to the office then the police. We are all people and neighbors, so act neighborly

Answer 9

first contact the land management company. (the folks that you pay rent to) and tell them that this is unacceptable. that you deserve to be able to sleep in your home.

and then if they do not do anything call the police.

talk to other neighbors and get them to back you up. music that is that loud will be bothering more people than just you.

look to anyone that is upstairs or downstairs from them. and acrost the hallway and to the other side of them.

Answer 10

Well - I've run through politely asking them to tone it down.
Escalated to management to ask them to tone it down.
Then escalated to warning them I would call the police.
Haven't called the police yet, as they've generally behaved since that threat.

Just how I handled it...

Answer 11
