OK, here it goes....

I got a new Sound system for my living room, and I happen to live in a Duplex, the livingroom and kitchen walls are shared. So on Sunday we are playing our music, not so loud that you can't talk to eachother in the livingroom mind you....

The guy who lives next door calls the caretaker (landlords son-in-law, runs four duplexes in a row on our street for the landlords) like 12 times throughout the day to complain that the music is sooooo loud that his wife and kids wont stay home with him, and have to leave the house all day. Lucky for me the caretaker is cool, and actually likes our music(happened to be a soundtrack on the xbox with mostly bob marley at the time). He knew we were not blowing the house down cause he lives on the other side of me, next building over.

So, here is my problem. This "neighbor of mine" is Chinese, (don't get this wrong, not racial at all, read on..) and he and his wife frequently have very heated and very loud discussions and or arguments in Chinese as late as 11pm at night. If I understood the language I might be able to discern if they are discussions, or arguments. All I know is my wife and I can hear them arguing into the night from our bedroom (does not share a common wall). I think they leave their back door open when doing this. i have not once complained to anyone about this because as annoying as it is, whatever... right?

Now that he has complained about me playing music from 2pm - 6pm on a Sunday afternoon, what do you think I should do??? I am not about retaliation, I mean, I gotta keep the peace, but I am not about to calm the music when I want to enjoy it. I really think it is the subwoofer that is bothering them.

Now that I got that off the chest.....

What do your neighboers do to annoy you?

discuss.

2 words: Cherry bombs (preferably in the toilet, trash can, or litter box if he has a cat)

Or you can just talk to him about it.

My neighbors are elderly, so they can't hear anything. It's pretty cool.

They threw crap in my yard and in my mom's car. My other neighbors snuck across my yard to inform my mom that I was breaking the bricks in our yard and yadayadayada, disturbing them. I think you should get a tape of Chinese people arguing about an annoying topic and play it on your stereo as loud as you can. When they eventually come over to complain to you, tell them,"But it's what you sound like every single damn night. I just wanted to hear more!" and smile. I know your the peaceful guy, but how can you resist pissing someone off when you got a setup like this?

OK but seriously (a first for me) you should be able to play your music. As long as its not country. Then I side with your neighbor.
As for the yelling at 11 PM part, you talk over that with him

No, but maybe you could record one of their argument/discussions. Or just find some Chinese people and ask them to argue about something annoying and then play it loud. Offer to pay them if you can spare the money. Or have a fake argument with your wife. Include name calling, yelling, screaming, and at the end, if desired, certain bedtime associated noses to really make them mad. I'd go with the first options I listed though...

Well these pakistani people with turbans(Im not racist either) on the other side of my street built this house and there is like 5 families living in it. So then they party every night on their drive way and use their garage as a kitchen. So they are having really loud conversations in pakistani or wutever they were speakin in, so my mom goes over to tell them to be quiet. I dunno if it was the boos or wut, but they didnt like that. So they threatened to kill my mom and me witha baseball bat.

we solved the problem by: Moving to a new house!!!

Oh! I forgot about the jackasses across the street from me. It's like friggin 90 degrees outside and they leave their damn dog in the car!!! What kinda idiot does that? Anyway, I'm on my usually bike ride around town and I see the dog. I just shake my head and go on with my ride. I come back ten minutes later and see the dog still in the stupid car. Me, being unobservant, don't notice the neighbors when I say in a loud clear voice "DUMB F**KS!" So I usually get glared at now. Anyway, back to the crappy neighbors. They constant call their kids any cuss word in the book, they honk their horn endlessly, there is a constant flow of traffic from their house, and if I here "GET OUTTA THE GOD DAMNED ROAD" one more time I'm gonna crack. Aren't they a$$holes?

Just look at my second post on here. It should help you, or just piss him off, but who cares?

I saw it, I was more interested in peoples experiances with their neighbors more than solving the issue with mine.......
I will live, he will still annoy me, and my music will bother him on Sunday afternoons...
life.

I used to live next door to a two room house made in the early 1900's and it was about ready to rot and fall apart. This place was inhabited by about 12 stinky French (I'm not racist) motorcycle gang people. There was one person named Matt. He was soooo fat (not phat) he must have weighed over 300 pounds! Not joking! (I don't mean that portly people are in any way worse than others, but keep listening) At the time, all of my siblings and I were only young children (ages 2-9) and we had a basketball hoop that was very low to the ground for us. Matt invited himself over, and did a slam dunk and held onto the rim until he bent the metal holding the hoop up and the rim broke off the hardwood backboard. Their whole yard was composed of a very smelly clay. They ran their motorcycles in their 80 foot backyard until about 11:00. Oh, by the way, they removed the mufflers from their motorcycles and altered them so they ran at about 70 decibels loud. Every week, they would be in the paper for "depositing a delitorious substance" which means that they didn't have plumbing so they just put it in their yard. They always got many fines for the disturbing things they did, but they never paid them (because they were all on welfare) Those people made me so mad. My parents were so fed up with them that they called up the health department, and the health department condemned the house because of unsuitable conditions for human life. They had about 9 dogs and I never saw them inside of a building, and I never saw them being fed. Oh, I take that back. Once they killed a deer with a car, so they took the deer to their yard, skinned it out and threw the raw meat to their dogs. If I were to tell you guys everything that they did, it would take up more than the 10,000 word limit, so I will stop now.
