Wondering if anyone has advice on dealing with extremely loud neighbors. Our neighbor has a drum set in his basement, which is not soundproofed. When he plays, it sounds like he is in our apartment! Its very disturbing and sporadic – it would almost be better if he had some sort of schedule so we could at least expect it. He once began playing at 9:00am on a weekend morning–there is little regard for neighbors, and my boyfriend and I have frequently knocked on the walls and even his front door to let him know the noise is intrusive and excessive. Do we have any recourse? Is it appropriate to ask him to soundproof his basement?
