Why do I have to hear other people's music in my house or car?

Question

Am I unreasonable to want to hear my TV without thumping bass vibrating my windows from a party 5 houses away? Is it me being unreasonable that I would like to have quiet in my house when it's 4:00 am or 11:00 pm? I don't care what music people listen to, but if I listen to music...I want to choose what I hear.
I have a fear that if I call the police, I will be subjected to vandalism. What do I do?
(Please don't suggest that I move. I can't afford to do that.)

Answer 1

Not unreasonable at all! I get that too. There is some teen that has a big a s s stereo system and my windows just shake, rattle and roll all over the place. I have been woke up from him blaring it at all hours of the night.

I heard that they are working on setting laws about that. If you can hear someones music coming from their car, you will be ticketed $75. You must be something like 200 feet from a resident before you can have loud music. I'll try to find the article and add it to my answer.

EDIT: Excerpt from a case filed
George, 557 N.W.2d at 578. A Minneapolis ordinance prohibits amplified music emanating from a motor vehicle that is audible within 50 feet of that motor vehicle. Minneapolis Code of Ordinances § 389.65(c)(6).

Allen first contends that the state waived the issue of whether the stop was justified by violation of the noise ordinance. At the Rasmussen hearing, both O’Rourke and Peterson testified about the loud music emanating from Allen’s truck, and O’Rourke testified that the loud music was one of the reasons for stopping the truck. Following the Rasmussen hearing, both parties submitted memoranda to the district court. In Allen’s memorandum, he conceded that if music was coming from his truck that was audible more than 50 feet away, the stop was justified by the violation of the noise ordinance. Given Allen’s concession, resolution of the issue simply required a credibility determination by the district court, so the state did not need to make any legal argument. In its memorandum, the state did note that the officers could hear loud music coming from the truck when they initiated the traffic stop. In its order denying the motion to suppress, the district court made specific findings on the credibility of the testimony about whether Allen was playing loud music and also specifically found that the stop was justified by violation of the noise ordinance. The state did not waive the noise-violation issue.

Many more states are soon to follow.

Answer 2

Talk to them, call the police, move, buy earplugs, turn up your music loud enough that you can't hear theirs, or get used to it. That's the only options I can think of. If you call the police and they do vandalize your property, tell they police you think you know who did it.

Answer 3

Call the police. There is no reason for them to find out is was you.

Answer 4

Find out who their landlord is and make a complaint to him/her. If they are homeowners, then you are going to have to call the police.
