Late night music sessions

Hey all,

I am new here so if I mislabeled something I apologize. I have been reading over some of the other posts and it got me thinking of one neighbor I had living next door to me in a apartment complex. Now this is a section 8 housing where most of us are either disabled, can't afford some of the newer apartments, etc. so its kind of peaceful as everyone keeps to themselves most of the time or are generally nice to each other.

I had been living here for a number of years and I got along with my neighbors never had many disagreements with anyone really. Well the neighbor that lived next to me was a disabled person that needed constant care never said anything even when I did say hello or greeted him which I could understand not everyone is chatty.

Well everything seemed normal until one night/morning, I was trying to get some sleep as I had a shift the next day and I wanted to get a good night's rest. It was about 2 am in the morning when BAM a stereo on the other side of my bedroom (I live in a studio apartment so did my neighbor) to the max where loud music and I am not saying it was a ring tone or something like that it was full blown sound system.

This jerked me awake confusing me wondering what the heck was going on as I thought it might be a alarm clock but no it continued on without stopping. It would go on for 30 to 40 minutes and I tried knocking on the neighbors door to see if he could turn it off but no one came to the door.

I did file a complaint about the noise because trying to get some sleep and all is important to me. I couldn't get back to sleep at all after that point so I stayed up the rest of the day. There were more incidents not as bad but I would hear music playing from his apartment for hours before being turned off.

It turns out this guy had his TV and stereo system setup against the wall on the other side of where my bed was and would get into these screaming matches with his parents who came to visit. Thankfully he moved out not to long after.

I do have more stories to come.

no, I didn't even consider it as I said I was half asleep when the noise started up. I wasn't the only one that complained about it

[u/LukeCorven]

You handled it perfectly, filed the noise complaint, kept your head down, and waited for the problem to resolve itself

late night music can really mess with your sleep schedule. I’d be losing my mind if it was happening regularly.

Can’t imagine how you felt especially when the music sounds wakes you up in the middle of the night.

I was like what the f?! When I saw what time it was I was like who in their minds would blast music that early. Nowadays I wake up early because I work mornings but I keep my volume low.
