Noisy Neighbours

Recommended Posts

For the first time in about 7 years I'm back in a flat with people above me. They're probably as noisy as I was 15-20 years ago, god awful trace blasting down, people bouncing about like my roof its a trampoline, sometimes day and night, spoiling my viewing pleasure and because I'm at that nicely pissed point at the moment they're also being proper buzz kills.

 

So, my answer to their nasty Eastern European trance shite is proper dirty detroit techno, full blast through my 450 watt sound system. I'm not usually one for loud music at silly o'clock anymore but sometimes needs must... I also do quite love this base!

 

My question is, how do/did you deal with yours?

Call the cops and tell them you heard gunshots coming from their house/flat.

 

The response time is usually pretty good.

Thing is in Detroit you get a couple of cops round, here its SO19.

 

No thanks.

 

Also, while these days there is nothing to hide having the polis running round my building would still have me slightly edgy just incase there was something left over from the old days that I havent found but some mutt might ;)

Trick is not to let it get to tit for tat nonsense. Make veiled threats about music, banging doors, parties etc when you first move in, ideally you visiting them to say "hello", takes it to them. Never say please more than once, politeness cost nothing but you're not a charity. Be persistent. Be prepared to be as aggressive as they are are unreasonable. Newton's third law.

 

If you can't sort out the old fashioned way, man up and buy a house.

I went tit for tat. They played dance music all night, so I laid my speakers on their back ontop of my tall bookcase, aimed them at the roof and treated them to slipknotts 1st album full blast. Then closed the door and went to the other side of the house. Was never a fan of slipknott, just wanted wait and bleed.

 

Not saying this was a direct result but they moved out after a few weeks. Guessing they were going already but in my mind, slipknott were my horsemen of the apocalypse.
