Its 5 o clock in the afternoon on a Wednesday. I live in a condo and on the second floor with a neighbor right behind where my speakers are with phat bass playing. Ive been listening to music on moderate volume since 2 pm.

They come over an ask me to stop playing music so loudly.. wtf are you talking about its FIVE IN THE AFTERNOON... are you trying to sleep or something at 5 oclock? If you live in an apartment or condo you should ALREADY know things like this are going to happen. I see no point in complaining about these type of issues.

So im here to ask random people on the interenet a few questions.
1- would you complain about a neighbors music volume at 5 oclock in the afternoon?
2- am I doing something wrong by enjoying my day off in the past 5 days by listening to some music?

I should add that they are no perfect neighbors, they are noisey at times and this is the FIRST time we have ever been loud like this. I can hear their kids through the walls, they also too play music, are constantly making loud moving and dropping sounds and they have even parked in my roomies reserved parking spot before.. But guess what noise comes along with living like this so if you dont like it then rent a home? Ive never complained about them before (until now I guess) because guess what, thats life.. people make noise get over it. Maybe im too laid back for this but whatever.

I agree your neighbors are only separated by a 4" wall.. I could see it being annoying if it's been going for endless hours but that's just input

ive had this problem quite a few times.

i dont complain because well people make noises and everyone has different work schedules so no matter what someones always going to be trying sleep at anytime.

i live on a bottom floor and people above me have kids who stomp and jump and scream at all hours of the day and night.

i had one noise complaint from them for music, and i told them exactly where to stick it.

I would definitely complain if it was disturbing me, you should have more respect for your neighbours. They aren't the problem, you are. You can always get good headphones like beats instead of using your speakers.

I'd be upset, but I'd let it happen if it doesn't go on for too long or if it doesn't happen often. That doesn't negate how annoying it is though, I know how loud bass setups can get. Some people are trying to enjoy their day as well as you, but that doesn't seem to matter to you since it's your day off and you couldn't care less about anyone else

It's the name of the game, if you're gonna blast your speakers, people will complain. Pray that they don't start doing the same out of spite.

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo there loud ass **** kids are ok to be screaming and crying at 3 in the morning but I cant enjoy some music at 5 in the afternoon? A reasonable time to be playing music. So its ok for them to make loud noise that sounds like they are moving furniture around at 11 at night? Its ok for them to have parties and then ALSO play loud music AT NIGHT AND take my roommates reserved parking spots? I should have probably added context, but these are no shinning examples of neighbors.

I think I should be able to use my paid space for what I want on my day off.
