Miscellaneous: Today, a week after moving into my new house, I'm seriously considering...

Today, a week after moving into my new house, I'm seriously considering suing the previous occupant. He failed to mention how the neighbor has his own band and rehearses every other day until 2am. Their music is so bad, it sounds like the wailing of a cat being tortured to death. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, after my annoying neighbor who used to spend hours playing the cello in the apartment below me finally moved out, I found out that I have a new musical neighbor moving in. This fellow plays the bagpipes. FML

Today, I found out my upstairs neighbors filed a noise complaint against me for banging on the ceiling every night. They conveniently left out the part where they constantly stomp, shout, and do stuff that sounds like they're dropping bricks to the floor every night. FML

Asshats everywhere

Today, I've suffered 3 months of my neighbor blasting his music so loud, it shakes my apartment floor. None of my noise complaints are ever followed up, but the moment I give him a piece of my mind, he calls the cops, and they threaten me with jail time over a few curse words. FML

Keep it down

By Help - 26/11/2011 06:03 - United States

Today, it's the second week into my new neighbors' routine. He works nights, she works days. He likes to blast out Slayer and Napalm Death all day, she likes to drunkenly sing out of tune to Adele all night. I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown. FML

Today, I learned that my new neighbour's car alarm goes off every time a car drives by blasting loud bass. So far, it's gone off 6 times in the last hour. I can't wait until he's done moving in here, where he and his car will stay for the next year. FML

Our house

By Anonymous - 11/05/2014 19:22 - United States

Today, I moved into my new house. The previous occupants failed to tell me that they'd recently kicked out their crazy crackhead son, who seems to think they've paid me to pretend that they've moved out and that I'm the new owner. He wants back in. FML

Noise annoys

By boom boom boom - 06/06/2022 01:00 - United States

Today, my neighbor got a ridiculous surround sound system that sounds like Jurassic fucking Park come to life. My walls are literally shaking. I tried asking nicely for them to turn it down. They told me to fuck off, and that if I call the cops with a noise complaint, well… they know where I live. FML

Relaxing chimes

By Anonymous - 07/12/2021 02:01 - United States

Today, my new neighbor just put up really loud wind chimes. I just got a ton of letters under my door, stating if I don't take them down, they're going to file a noise complaint with the building management. She owns her condo, I don't. FML

Roommates from hell, part 4765

By SHUT UUUUUP - 02/03/2023 23:00 - United States

Today, I've found that it's hard to focus on important things when your roommate won't stop singing at the top of his lungs, without any music playing mind you, especially when his singing voice sounds like a cat being forced through a meat grinder. FML

Today, my new neighbours moved in. I had always thought my bedroom wall was soundproof, because my old neighbours never complained about my loud night terrors. Turns out they were just stone deaf. The new ones can hear everything. FML

If it's so loud that you can hear from the next house, maybe you can call the police for a noise violation...? That's a thing, right?

America - such a lawsuit happy country. Wouldn't it just be easier to file a noise complaint with the police?

You can try to sue, but you won't win. You will be laughed out of court

I know that feel. There was a kid down my street who practiced 24/7 and it was horrid

10 pm is standard ordinance for noise complaints. don't warn them just call in and have the police surprise them. and you can't sue for noise unless it some how is causing damage in a monetary since. which it seems to not be.

Ah but there could be money involved. If the noise is disrupting OP's sleep so they are tired and unproductive at work the following morning and it persists to the point that they lose their job then they could sue for lost wages. They could also sue for emotional damages.

I had a neighbour that would sing 24/7. Sometimes until 3 or 4 am. I started booing her after every song and she shut up eventually. Not my proudest moment. But at least I didn't have to put on pants. Maybe try something less passive aggressive than that though.
