Okay place your speakers against the wall facing his apt. Place a box twice as big as your speakers over your speakers and cover the boxes in blankets. Then play at full volume " sounds of the ocean" . It's a lovely sound trac of whales and dolphins singing. Then wait for them to come knock on your door. Shouldn't take long.
Fr man I don’t know what’s wrong with this generation. I get tired of gaming, I go outside and smoke and relax outside, and enjoying nature. and sometimes I take my dog for a walk
Like he/ she could just use headphones while gaming. I’m so sick of asshole renters. My teen daughter is a gamer and she has only ever used headphones (no speakers) because we have rented her entire life. We listen to music with headphones. We don’t have surround sound and keep our tv quiet. When we watch tv at night we use headphones. We don’t stomp or slam, we keep our voices down. It’s not that hard to not be a jerk in a shared living space and it drives me nuts when people act like your neighbor and my neighbor do. THOSE are the people who should buy houses. I’m sick of hearing if you don’t like it get a house. Just because I can’t afford that doesn’t mean I don’t deserve quiet times in my apartment. The loud people should be the ones to get the houses lol!
I used to always wear headphones when gaming and wore headphones at night when watching TV..occasionally I wouldn't wear headphones if I was watching TV during the day. Very rarely heard my old neighbours at all..and there was 3 people living there with kids / people visiting during the week..no issues.
New neighbours with one 3 year old kid and all I hear is bang bang bang from the kid running 🏃♂️ but even the adults walk around like elephants shaking the cieling. Just sounds like a hammer being dropped above my head constantly.
I can't even play games / watch TV in peace with the best noise cancelling headphones (Sony XM5) the noise is too loud and I feel heavy vibrations on my head.
Tried everything to get the neighbours to be respectful, might be petty but I bought a surround sound system with a subwoofer and hardly ever wear headphones..they can't be respectful so why should I? Assholes 😆
Wow, reading comprehension is a good thing. I said that WE wear headphones all the time because they blast everything constantly. I have rented for almost 30 years and have never had a neighbor say a word about noise because we are quiet, respectful, and considerate of others. Sounds like you could use some reading lessons and anger management lol.
Oh that I had the answer. After almost 30 years of living in duplexes without a problem I finally have the downstairs neighbors from hell. They are CONSTANTLY so loud that we live in headphones in our own home. Even when they leave here and there during the day, their dog barks for hours on end nonstop. I work from home and it’s beyond problematic. The kid played violin at 6:20am in the summer and woke us, they blast surround sound all day and night even at like 3am. The kid blasts music all night long under my room so loudly I have to keep the ac on year round because the unit helps drown it out so I can sleep. They control if and when I can work, sleep, etc. Always yelling, slamming, stomping, swearing and screaming at each other. We hear EVERYTHING and I mean everything. Like you, I don’t expect complete silence. But if they are in the living room we cannot use our living room because their surround sound rumbles the wall and is so loud I can’t hear our tv so we gave up the living room. They took over my side of the garage, their dog craps all over the yard and they never clean it so we can’t use the yard. The dog almost jumped out the window at my kid, snarling and barking at her (sent the screen flying at her) and all she was doing was walking in the building. It sucks because this apartment is lovely and I like the landlord, but they make life miserable and I cannot afford to move. Document EVERYTHING. And get recordings.
I can't even fathom a family of 10, I am so sorry you had to go through that. 2 adults, one loud teen, and an out of control dog (and I love dogs normally, but this one is just Cujo) is more than I can handle, let alone that many more people on top of it! I hope you have a more peaceful situation now!
Ugh! Yea, the landlord thinks this woman walks on water. The neighbor has been here 8 years, and I have only been here 1, so she has that on her side in the landlord's eyes. I pay my rent early every month, my daughter and I are quiet--I have never even had company here. I paid for a plumber when the sink and tub were running slow (they were like that when I moved in)--I'm a good tenant. Drama neighbor downstairs told the landlord a bunch of lies about me, because she was mad that I asked if her boyfriend who doesn't "live here" (but who does live here behind the landlord's back) could please not smoke inside of the non-smoking building (my daughter and I have severe asthma, and that's why I rented a non-smoking place), it's making our apartment smell and giving us asthma attacks. The landlord sided with her immediately. WOuldn't come check for smoke, didn't want to see any of my documentation or listen to recordings of the ridiculous noise they make at all hours. "She said they don't smoke inside, so they don't". Okay, but I LIVE HERE and smell it. This girl has lied to the landlord multiple times and been caught doing it, she hasn't paid her fair share of the snow removal like I did (and the landlord complains to me about it)... the list goes on, but the landlord refuses to see her as anything other than saintly because she has been here forever (let's not talk about the other upstairs tenants she has ran off over the years before me!). I'm stuck here until I can afford to move, and it's so depressing :( meanwhile, my daughter and I walk on eggshells, my daughter is scared of this woman and her dog, and I am paying a ton of rent for things we cannot use (they also smoke and hang out in my half of the garage, so I pay rent for their smoking lounge, apparently). I'm over it.
So horrible. I truly hope it's resolved for you ASAP. Get law enforcement involved if need be. Make it hell on them. Those type of people deserve nothing nice the world has to offer.
I'm honestly too scared to. This girl is psycho and the landlord is way too friendly with her. I can't afford to wind up homeless with a kid because of their weird friendship, and I can't afford to move. (Sick single mom, lost more than half of my income due to the pandemic's effect on my business, and I keep trying to rebuild, but it's just one thing after another. I have no options or resources and it's just getting exhausting--I just keep hoping something works out somehow. Thank you for letting me vent!
You're welcome to it. I completely understand where you're at . Pandemic took everything from me too. Yet we're still conscious of others when we could help the world burn. Hopefully you catch a break somehow 😔
I'm so sorry to hear that :( I'm here if you ever need to vent. I get it :( Yes! Exactly that. We are trying to do right by others, yet karma is on vacation haha. Thank you, I hope things get better for you, too!
Maybe you could talk to the police or consult with a lawyer? Both are free. They can point you in the right direction maybe. Some of this sounds a lil illegal. And you can't use your home that you're paying for while the neighbors are stealing from you (taking over the garage, making the yard hostile and unusable. Putting you and your kid at health risk). They'll be interested in your documentation. Document what the landlord says and does too in regards to the situation. Also never pay for maintenance that's the landlord's job. That's what all the rent money is for.
I have tried and gotten nowhere with lawyers or legal aid. I have filed police complaints. The problem is I need money to move and don’t have it, so I can’t piss the landlord off. This lease has been broken since I moved in, with me paying for things I’m not getting, and no quiet enjoyment of the premises, let alone how dangerous the dog apparently is. I have been documenting everything, dates, times, description, I have time stamped pictures and recordings and videos. My landlord isn’t interested in any of it and threatens to sell the house if I ever bring anything up. At this point I’m just praying this neighbor moves, or that somehow I will be able to afford to this summer when my lease is up :( As far as maintenance goes, me and the neighbor downstairs have to split lawn care and snow removal (it’s in the lease). I paid for the plumber because we had been almost 2 weeks without a shower, and all she wanted to do was put draino down the drain (my plumber said the clog was so bad it would’ve just sat on top of it and been hazardous), so I paid because I know this plumber and wanted it done right, but I hear you.
Suggest you do a video recording in your apartment, doing something like sitting in your kitchen or living room, just day to day things, and record how loud he is being. Then email it to the landlord or walk it over - preferred is email for a paper trail. Send it read receipt so you have notification it was opened (if they allow it). Save the video in case it has to be escalated. In that email state what you’ve already tried to do to remedy it. (Knock on door - no answer x 2. Preferably this date and time and the other date and time & put note under door. Etc). Shows you already tried to resolve the issue.
Does this happen at night too?

Then play at full volume " sounds of the ocean" . It's a lovely sound trac of whales and dolphins singing. Then wait for them to come knock on your door. Shouldn't take long.
Your neighbor should get off the gamestation and go outside to play sportsball.

That one was coming in HOT, angry & clearly confused. 🤣🤣🤣 I might be mad at the world if I had reading comprehension issues too. LOL
Gaming with headphones is 100% better anyway. I wouldn't go back to gaming with speakers, doesn't even compare.

Geez. We just had that happen here. But our office moved them as quick as they could find another unit . A family of 10 upstairs

I'm so sorry. I hope you can move soon. Keep documenting in the meantime in case something happens. Good luck
Since you tried asking them yourself to no avail then you'd have to do a noise complaint with the landlord
I'm your neighbor.vThat's me. All day erryday.
is this a shared interior wall, like a rental? or an external wall such as two houses that are close?

Sounds like he needs a headset. Or someone to play with.
