They thought it was a real joke when I asked them nicely to turn down their music.
The next morning, when they thought they were going to sleep off their drunkenness, I turned on a local gospel radio channel at full blast with the speakers up against the apartment wall, pounded on the wall while yelling "WAKE UP M-F-ERS!" I left for work with the gospel music still playing, and only turned it off when I got home at 5:00. Never heard a peep out of that white trash again.
Bravo! I did that with apartment neighbors. A 60+ year old hippie who thinks he’s a rock star, has a constant procession of ‘roomates’( other barfly types) and does karaoke till 4 am. Soooo, I amped up some Andrea Bocelli at 8am and turned my massive B&W apeakers against the wall. Nothing like Hi C to clear your drunken head! As ‘dessert’ I add some Celine Dion( which I love, so the volume is fine with me). It’s fun to see him stagger outside and give me the stinkeye. No noise violations in the daytime, Axl!! lol
For sheer torture it’s hard to beat Classic Chinese music. Howling and yowling, grating stuff-but I’d crack before he did.
