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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
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
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, after months of peace and quiet since January, a new family moved into the apartment below me ten minutes before I was about to go to sleep. They've been here for 30 minutes and already they're stomping and banging doors all over the place. 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
Today, I discovered that my neighbors had held a secret "meeting" to discuss how annoying my "constant singing" as I go about my days in my apartment. They even made a petition, with over ten signatures, asking me to "cease and desist." FML
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
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
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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?

Most towns have noise ordinances. If they are still above a certain volume after 10pm, call the police. I know this. I was in a band, and had the cops called on me a few times. Learned my lesson when they threatened a fine.

Full disclosure laws are only about the home and property itself. They do not apply to the neighbors. He was under no obligation to tell you about it and you have no legal recourse because he didn't.

Are you sure? I read something recently that if you and your neighbours have issues then that has to be stated as well. Though that may only cover areas such as harassment/ bullying.

It's your own fault for not asking around on how your future would be like

Can't you call the cops? They are disturbing the peace

Not really something you can sue for. It's not your house. If it was something wrong with your new house you could sue, but not if it's something to do with the neighbour's.

That really sucks, I hope you can talk to them and come to a solution.

If they continue to make loud noise after 10 or 11pm, you're fully within your rights to call the police. Especially if it's an ongoing problem and in a residential area, but I'd try talking to them first and see if they'd tone it down.

You can't there is no evidence to prove the previous occupant knew of the band, plus it isn't worth a lawsuit
