Tell them you have a hearing disability and would like to get a subwoofer. Bring them in and go on line and see if they like Wilson or Magico. If you throw a whole bunch of confusion at micro managers they tend to go away. Once they find out they can't control you, they will learn to simply live next to you.
Apartment Drama
Hi- I recently moved from my house to a 2nd floor apt with 1 apt on each side and 1 below. 3pm today I turned my stereo on for the 1st time. Low volume IMO. Hard to describe but no problem having a conversation without even raising my voice. within 10 minutes my neighbor knocked on my door acting irratated demanding I turn the volume down. WTF? Now what. Do I have any rights or do I have to obey this jerk?
