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?

GOtta resp[ect your neighbors, right or wrong.

You sound like a prime candidate for a nice set of headphones! Less cost and headaches to achieve top notch sound to boot.

A nearfield setup with stand mounted monitors would be the other safer way to go to minimize impact to neighbors.
" Thats a bummer kick his ass!!"

Yeah, either be a good neighbor or do that. :-)

YOur choice....
ITs true that noise to some degree is inherent in many or even perhaps most apartment buildings.

So its a two way street. You can probably expect to get away with making as much noise as you hear associated with any particular neighbor. That's a fair exchange. It takes two to be good neighbors and decide what works best case by case.

Or just kick their ass as EBM suggests and be done with it.
