johnr: And when they are so drunk pinch there house stereo

cokemaster: While everyone is talking about escalating the issue and trying to make the neighbors life hell - perhaps you should consider what has already been suggested.... when they're at their worse, get noise control to come over and take measurements (within your home too if possible). Remember that if this fails, do it in writing so you have a nice paper trail to show any inaction. Consider faxing your complaints to noise control if they don't respond so you get a nice paper receipt with the time and date on it. 

Also consider sending a letter to your neighbor outlining your concerns with their volume. 

If nessecary look up what the 'excessive noise levels' are for your area are and take measurements yourself. Document everything. 

If you escalate the issue, sure it might work. However it may (and probably will) just get a reaction from the neighbors (ie. starting a 'war' or them just increasing the volume). Taking matters into your own hands generally results in a worse situation. 

SteveR: are you able to get someone in who can talk in both languages?.. maybe have a sit down & explain the situation see if you can resolve the problem..


i had a neighbour like that a couple months back ( i have 6 neighbours :) )..  one neighbour would have partys all the time so at 6am the next morning the 2nd neighbour would take the muffler off their lawnmower and park it on the boundry between them for an hour or so ... needless to say this didn't fix anything and neighbour 2 has now moved out & the other people don't have loud partys anymore - fun & games eh?

Fossie: Does someone have a guide on making a mini EMP?
