Hi,

I'm having a serious problem, and I was wondering if anyone can help
with it. I live in an apartment building. My neighbour below me
always invites friends over, plays loud music, etc. I hear him till
the wee hours DAILY!!! It's seriously driving me insane! Even after I
warn him, he keeps going. My landlord sent him a letter, but as I am
writing this e-mail, I can still hear his TV on (he's watching Star
Wars). Is there anything I can do to add some sound insulation. My
apartment is not very big, the floors are made of wood. Someone please
help me!!!

Most creative solution I ever saw to this problem. I had a nutty
friend who somehow acquired an X-Ray machine. In his apartment, he
was able to position it directly above the neighbors stereo. One Zap
and the neighbor never knew what hit him. Every transistor in his
stereo was burned out!

More likely in your case though. Good tenants are hard to find. If
your landlord thinks you are a good tenant, he may take some action on
your behalf. Otherwise leave and let him know exactly why you are
going. When it's not your property, your options are limited...

Where I live, the kids play there stereos loud in the street.
Neighbors call the cops. The cops come and talk to the kids. The
stereos are turned down. When the cops leave, the kids turn up the
stereos again.
