Our neighbor loves hard rock and blasts it all day while working in his garage it is making us nuts. I have asked him several times in the last year to please turn it down he doe for a couple days then up goes the bass and volume.
What is best way to combat this? Come on Campers dig deep I know there are more warped minds than mine on here.

Move to where the neighbors are farther away?

Learn to like "hard rock"?

Bring him some of your music to play instead?

Earplugs?

Build a wall?

Kind of hard to deal with it if it's noise during "legal" hours.

Whatever you do, don't watch "Fear thy Neighbor" on the ID channel for ideas!! eek

in my old neighborhood i had a drunken azzhole neighbor who would come home from his roto rooter job and sit on a picnic table all evening drinking whiskey and blasting doo wop music. the other neighbors were scared of him because he was unstable and just looking for a fight. when he did that, i'd start up my mower and point the muffler in his direction and just let it run. it drowned out the doowop and i didn't really mind the sound of a lawnmower. i would also fire up my harley and point the drag pipes in his direction while i rev'd it repeatably while making imaginary adjustments on the carb with a screwdriver. we played this game for a few months and he tired of it.

oh, and this and numerous other neighbor problems are why i now live in the country. no neighborhood ever again for me.

I have been thinking of mounting speakers on the back of my shed and blasting religious hymns from 8:00AM as he sleeps until noon every day. Guy is 60 years old think he would know better

Had that problem. Classical music, especially anything by Wagner, at full volume, gets the point across.

Sneak over to his house in the middle of the night. Plant a bag of coke under the front seat of his car. Call the cops and say you think you saw a drug deal going down in your neighbors driveway. Be sure to wear gloves when you plant the coke.

Many communities have noise ordinances. You can get an app for your Android phone to measure sound levels.


Be not weary in well doing.

LMAO! Seriously? If he's gonna go to the trouble of tracking down and buying coke, he may as well do a couple rails and rock out with the neighbour

I have thought about that trick Blackheart. But with my luck I would buy it from a narcotics agent. I've already spent 22.5 years of my life in prison on sleep release. I work for 10 or more hours, go home for sleep, and go back to do it again. Crooks must be watched 24/7. Be Well. Rusty

when i was drag racing and would tune my motor on a Friday before the race saturday,the lady next door would call the cops. the cop was a friend who also raced mopars, he'd tell her as long as it was after 9am and before 9 pm, i could do as i pleased. the neighbors did get together and offer to buy me mufflers because the car scared the kids. told them i'd buy them so i bought race mufflers and put cut outs behind the headers for when i went to the strip.

I'm guilty of that. I have two older home systems and tower speakers in both of my bldgs.

I leave one on 24/7.

Check your noise ordinances, for DB levels and times in effect. If there's no law, first ask him if he's deaf, Then offer a nice set of earbuds and a personal player. If not receptive,

Speakers should be cheap at a pawn shop. And a crappy amp that barely drives the speakers. And a cheap tuner to get the religious music station, the more "contemporary Christian" the better. That stuff is objectively A W F U L.

1) Find out legal noise ordnance times.
2) Time +1 minute in the a.m. ...John Phillip Sousa at full volume....
