I use to have a very noisy neighbor. He was my roommate. He always came back very late and then talk on phone loudly for a long time. After that, he turn on the TV with also a high volume. He could keep on watching TV until very very late. I have asked him to turn a bit down of the TV, he accepted, but just a few minutes later, he turn it back again. So finally, I can not bare this and moved away. Do you have the same experience, how do you with such guy?

Hi There. I know the feeling of having a very noisy neighbour. In fact, we have one until now They have been our neighbour for years now. Eversince I was a kid we were neighbors. They were all boys that is why they are so loud especially when they are having parties until the morning. I hate that because they always throw party every night which really bugs the whole community. Sometimes, it cause fights or rumble. There were times that at the middle of the night, you would hear them talking out loud and laughing on their rooftop. Oh well, it was annoying really but I got use to them since I have been their neighbour ever since I was a kid. Thank you for the discussion and Happy Mylotting! Have a great day! Cheers!

It is very nice of you could bare such neighbour for so many years. I hope you will enjoy more quiet environment in the future. Now my neighbours are all very quiet person.

We used to have a neighbor that would follow us into whatever room we went into and then talk crap. for example if you went to the bathroom she'd be like "why are they going to the bathroom again". Then she would come home and play her music ridiculously loud.

I know exactly how you feel! My college roommate freshman year was always very loud and inconsiderate of the fact that I was sleeping, trying to study, etc. She would talk on the phone, turn on lights and tv, and do whatever else she felt like all night long! It used to drive me crazy. We were actually pretty good friends and ended up being roommates sophomore year also because I talked to her about how I felt and she seemed to understand and was going to change. Well, all of sophomore year I had to suffer through the same things even though I reminded her repeatedly. When it came time to arrange housing for the following year, I had to tell her that I didn't want to live with her and I made arrangements to live with some of our other friends. Even though we continued to be friendly through the next two years, we don't keep in touch much now - just the occasional email - and I think that's the reason. Obviously any two roommates probably will have different schedules, but a little common courtesy goes a long way...

Yes, we have almost always had at least one noisy neighbor. People seem to get home late at night and make a lot of noise. Loud talking, loud music, loud cars or trucks, whatever the loud noise, you'll probably hear it. The thing that is really annoying though is the barking dogs. The dogs bark for no reason, and they bark for a long time. Little dogs are the most annoying with their high pitched barks. I don't know why their owners don't tell them to be quiet. The whole neighbor is very loud, and I don't like it.

I do have a noisy neighbor, but the case is different from yours. she is an old woman living in the building next to mine. but since the two building was very close so I can hear clearly when you 'make noise'. I thought that woman was kind of insane. she always yelled at a family living on the apartment on the upper floor of that building. I could hear yelling a few times every day and that family being yell did not 'talk back' any more. I guess that family has gotten use to her 'greeting'. she curse that family and said that that family always making noise. I could even hear her yelling at midnight.

It's pity that you have this problem. Unfortunately I have a roomate who does things very careless and always ignore the feeling of mine, like you say, I have told him many times, at least 10, but does litttle effect, so I have to leave him away and rent a house myself. Now everything has gone and I nearly forgot this bad thing.

I have a neighbor behind my house where it seems that they are always having parties. They have a terrace and pool and when it gets loud, I go upstairs and peek as they've usually had too much to drink and someone always falls in the pool. I don't really complain since most of the time their parties are on the weekends, and usually someone else will go do the complaining. I own my house so it's not like I could pick up and move so I guess I have to deal with it.

Many years back I have a very noisy neighborhood.They will turn their karaoke as loud as they can and sing as loud as they can till they get drunk.And sometimes they quarrel and fight just like in a movie scene.After three years I sold our house and move to a more quiet place where I can sleep comfortably at night.Right now it is still quiet and peaceful where I live.

My husband and I lived in an apartment before we were married. We were on the second floor and below us a bunch of young guys moved in. The complex had always been relatively quite until they came along! There would be music until early morning every night of the week and the worst thing was they attached a punching bag to their balcony which of course was directly below ours. When one of them used the punching bag the whole apartment would rattle and shake as if there was a small earthquake. The great thing was that they usually "trained" on the so called punching bag at about 2 o'clock in the morning on weekdays! My husband went downstairs and politely asked them to stop on several occasions to no avail so we had to eventually call the Police. We knew that either us or them had to go because the situation was intolerable and we thought it would be us because we were the ones with the problem. One day I spotted a moving van and, you guessed it, they were leaving! I cannot tell you how happy we were, we could finally catch up on sleep!

We don't have noisy neighbors per se but we have neighbors who let their dogs bark all day and part of the night. That is disturbing when we are trying to go to sleep or trying to sleep in the morning. We are thinking of moving soon. Why do people behave like this? Why can't neighbors just keep quiet during certain times and respect the fact that not everyone is awake very early in the morning or late at night?

Oh yeah! Right now, they are noisy. grrr! I transferred here because it is a subdivision and I though it won't be as noisy as I thought but I was wrong. My job needs a quiet environment but I am always thinking of how to lessen the noise around me. Sometimes, they have a party and rent a karaoke machine and sing up to the top of their lungs. I hate it and I sometimes swear because of it. On weekends, their kids are even noisier. I sleep late on weekends since I always stay up late on weekdays but I am forced to get up because of their noisy chit chats. When I watch movies or listen to music, their voices are louder than what I am listening to. So I am forced to turn it to it's loudest volume so they will experience how irritating to have a noisy neighborhood.

I do have a neighbor that are noisy like when they argue they shout which is very annoying. Not only that there dogs are very noisy as well. They cage it and the cage is made of stainless like a roof which is very noisy when they are moving and there is this one dog that growl any time. I thought i'm gonna have my peace when our tenant has gone because that's one of the thing that me pissed off because of the little boy that cries like hell and it was really destructing and really gives me headache but then again there's the noisy neighbor that has noisy dog. Grrrr...i am really at my wits end but i am just controlling my temper just to avoid confrontation.

We had before. They were renting rooms in our house. They were very loud even if it's already late like past 1am. The funny is they are talking closely to each other yet they talk like they are yelling. Such an insensitive people. By the way they are a family, a mother and 2 daughters with a very big mouth. And now we're very thankful that they have transfered to another place. Never mind the monthly rental they are paying to us, it can't compare to the peace and quite we have right now. =)

I would have done the same thing as you did. I would move away as this is the only way to deal with a person like that. They have no respect for the other person. Don't feel bad about this as your move was probably very good. Crocket.

well, you should be friends, and after that, you should tell him that he is not hearing too good :P No, seriously, you should talk with him. If you can`t resolve anything then you must move on, because you can`t live like that. I don`t have such a neighbor.
