Today, the kid who who lives next door and shares a bedroom wall with me got a drum set for Christmas. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
SHUT UP
Today, the neighbors' kid got a new airhorn. FML
Today, my neighbor's kid started learning the violin. FML
Today, it appears that my upstairs neighbour has decided to learn how to play the trombone. FML
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
SHUT UP
Today, my extremely loud and nocturnal flatmate phoned me to tell me excitedly that he got an accordion for his birthday. FML
Helter Skelter
Today, I found out my upstairs neighbor is a drummer. He's actually quite good, so I didn't have the heart to report a noise complaint. That is, until he screamed Ringo Starr's infamous line, "I got blisters on my fingers!" at the top of his lungs after playing them too long. I would have laughed if it wasn't 2AM. FML
Today, the family in the apartment next to me decided to give their 4-year-old kid a recorder. It's been three hours. Kill me. FML
Play 4'33"
Today, my switch to night shifts has coincided nicely with my neighbour buying her twin juvenile delinquent crotch goblins a drum set and a guitar. Now during the daylight hours, when I’m supposed to be asleep, all I can hear is their racket on the other side of the wall, mere feet from my head FML
Cats are the same
Today, my son was playing with a piece of plastic wrapping and trying not to let it fall to the floor as if it were a balloon. This is after he got some kick ass gifts for Christmas. Kids. FML
Whoomp whoomp
Today, my neighbor's daughter started learning how to play the trombone. FML

Buy huge speakers and make his noise seem like a mouse is making it!

Give it a month or two, he'll probably get bored easily if he's not taking lessons. If he is, then hopefully soon he'll sound good and it'll be pretty chill. If all else fails, soundproof the room with cushions and what nots, look up what's best for soundproofing. Pillows and other cushion like materials muffle sound, it's why theaters and some schools have that kind of material on the walls. You can probably find a cheap way of doing this.

I never took lessons, I've been playing drums for seven years and have never once gotten bored. In fact I would have been more bored and much worse if I had taken lessons. I'm much better at learning things on my own.

I feel bad for anyone who lives in their mediate facility.

# 1 all OP needs then is a really big amp. ;) OP, I am a drummer and know the boundaries on them, talk to your landlord? ?

I was going to say something along the lines of that. Well, I was going to say, get an electric guitar and jam with him

Soundproof the room. Problem solved.

That's way easier said than done. And if OP is sharing a wall with another person, they're almost definitely in an apartment building, so OP would likely have to get permission from a landlord to even consider taking on such a project.

Pillows and blankets. Anything soft or some kind of cushion works for sound proofing.

Yeah I think not. You obviously haven't lived in loud apartments before.

Most kids who start an instrument fizzle out and lose interest after a couple of weeks. Trust me, it won't be too bad after all. In the meantime, invest in some earplugs for the terrible affliction that has been imposed upon you.

Unless of course they actually enjoy the instrument and it becomes a hobby

Then they'll get really good because of all the practice they're getting and it'll be enjoyable to listen to it. Only problem is if they're playing them when someone's trying to sleep/do homework etc.

I'm pretty sure it's not up to her to stop his drumming. Committing a chargeable offence doesn't seem like a bright idea.

I was joking

Wow, that sucks. Hopefully he'll be respectful enough about the time of day that he plays it.
