Piano Playing Noise Daily from Neighbors
Recently bought an attached brick house and now we are going crazy on a daily basis listening to our neighbors learning how to play piano. The noise level in intolerable and they play right at the time when we come home. We tried to reason with them many many times, asking to move the piano…
Recently bought an attached brick house and now we are going crazy on a daily basis listening to our neighbors learning how to play piano. The noise level in intolerable and they play right at the time when we come home. We tried to reason with them many many times, asking to move the piano away from the common wall or to play at different times, to no avail. My husband gets soo upset that he called police once and it did not lead to anything. When can we do, our house is turning into a nightmare as we can’t even relax after difficult day at work. We are even considering selling. Any advice on how possibly to resolve this situation? The neighbors are very stubborn and are not willing to compromise even a little bit. Any advice will be appreciated.
Thank you!
Soundproofing will help you. However, this is brownstone life. You have to work with others. Do your best to work with this family. The two of you will live side by side for a long time. You can bet that when the piano playing is over, something else will come up. If you meet them with anger, that’s what you will get in return.
Maybe they are trying to get you to sell by annoying you with their piano playing. Don’t play into their hands! LOL!!!
guest 8:51 go wash your mout out
I know your hell. If you’re serious about selling, do it. You spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to attempt to live like a human in this god forsakened cesspool of a city only to be held hostage by inconsiderate fucks who refuse to admit that they don’t live in the suburbs. There are different rules that should be applied when you live on top of eachother and people don’t get it. Spare yourself from the tumor. You’ll have no peace until you leave that town,
where’s Mom Vidalia?
If quiet time is so important to you, you should consider purchasing a detached house with a large lot away from any major road and air plane flight routes.
“She can practice whenever she wants because she is a stay at home mom”??? WTF, you don’t have children obviously. I’m guessing you paid a lot of money for your house and you feel you have some extra rights that other people don’t. What an asshole you are for calling the police. you should move to another asshole neighborhood so you feel at home.
I believe that if you ask someone nicely to compromise or try to reach a solution satisfying to all and they dont want to cooperate, there is only one thing left to do. Its war baby. I would play my music ,preferably rap or rock n roll really loud when they are playing the piano.Get a drum set and play along. You know what they say? If you cant beat em …join em.An eye for an eye. Do unto others….and on and on.
You should chill out. Ever heard about property rights? Not only do you have them but so does your neighbors. And if they ain’t breaking any laws you shouldn’t call the police. You are just harrassing them. You have options. Soundproofing is one. Moving to a deserted island is another. Trying to get in touch with other people on this planet may take too long if you go the traditional therapy route. But there are meds that can probably speed things up for you.
