till,
My only reason to shut the doors and windows is so that the sound does not get out of the house and have my neighbors complained that my music is too loud. So far, I have not got any complain yet but you never know.

Apartment or condo are bad, you can not play loud and you can not build anything (I mean, using your brand new saw table or router). When you can affort it, buy a house with a garage (I did that but now I have less time for my hobby).

My situation is very similar to yours. I have a pretty good system in my small office where I can get my daily ration. I play the main system loud when nobody else is home. The small system in a small room is almost as satisfying.

1: Let them think you're crazy, and more than a little dangerous.
2: Invite your biker mates over.
They've always worked for me.

this is actually the best suggestion by far 🙂
they wont even want to mess with me if they just think im a little bit "off". hehe. maybe i am, but still. wouldnt hurt to try.
im glad to hear so many other people were having this problem. (well, just so i wasnt the only poor miserable soul who couldnt even turn up the music a little bit).
on a side note, my roommate and i talked last night, and SHE thought the complaint was ridiculous. she was like "did you have a party this weekend or something?" she didnt even have a clue what the complaint was on. shows how anal the guy really is.

1- Just play Death Metal flat out all the time and they'll think the devil lives at your place and they'll keep away.
2 - Leave Burl Ives on repeat at medium level when you go to work.
3 - Get some blackmarket Prozac and give it to your neighbour somehow.
4 - Get a better stereo - my neighbours used to tell me to turn it up !.

Who was the noise complaint from?
The City? Building super? or from the tennant in question?
If its from the city , go and look up your noise ordinances, they are usually pretty specific.
If from the super then check your lease to see if it mentions anything.
Above all, talk to your neighbors to see what the complaint was about. Who knows maybe your neighbor works the night shift and is a light sleeper.

yeah, i just gotta get over there and talk to them.
its from my super, not from the city, gonna review the lease and see what the deal is.
hehe, the death metal idea is a good one. my last roommate did that, and we left him alone 🙂
and the thing is, i have a great stereo.... its really damn nice, not bassy at all. its really clean and sounds good. hehe, its amazing how much response this threat has gotten!

You could also go and talk to the super and see what policies are in place in your building. What is considered a reasonable level of noise etc.
Maybe have the super come up and listen to see what level you listen at.

My freshman year at college is remembered as dualing stereos. 😱 Several of my 🤐 wingmates had dual 12 MTXs and cheap Yamaha recievers
and LOVED to "share" their "music." 😡 They tried some of these tricks just to erk me off after I started complaining about the excessively loud "music" (I didn't have a meter, but I'd say that at times, it was at least 90dB in my room with the door CLOSED). In the end, it only got them written up once or twice, and I moved to a more subdued wing (on the first floor 😀 ).Remember that having your neighbor or super pounding on your door demanding it be turned down is better than having the police banging on your door....
That happened to my former neighbors here in my apartment during a BIG party 
they threw Thanksgiving weekend last year. I was out of town, so I can't claim resposibility. 
They left in a hurry in April, right after the building came under new owners and management. One of the new managers indicated they had been evicted 
, but didn't say directly....In the end, you basically have three choices:
1: turn it down until your neighbor (or you) moves out.
2: talk to him and find a happy medium.
3: Keep annoying your neighbor until he calls the cops and/or you recieve an eviction notice.
I'd strongly urge you to do what you already plan - talk to him and find a happy medium.
These new emoticons are just too much 😉
Good luck

Ummm, if I understood your initial post, your speakers are on the outside wall facing in??
Can you reverse the room so that the speakers are facing out? In the direction of the outside wall??
not sure if I read it right, but it's a thought

Ken L,
cant reverse the room, but i can shift it so the speakers are perpendicular to him... maybe that would help out...

probably worth a try, seems like the simplest, quickest fix if it works.
While you may have thought it a joke, the next best bet is to let them think you're crazy 😉
after some BS from neighbors a few years ago, I made it a point to let them see me carrying my match guns in and out - went the extra mile of bagging and unbagging the pistols and checking the chamber in plain view - they built a nice fence and haven't f'd with me since 🙄
moving is such a hassle 😀

i acutally wasnt kidding about the crazy idea... i think it would totally work... unfortunately, its an apartment complex, and i dont really see him. actually, i NEVER see him. so, wouldnt really work out. but hell yeah, if we had any interaction, acting a little "off" would TOTALLY work. he wouldnt want to mess with me at all. hehe.
maybe ill try moving my room around. i think its just the walls are a little thing, and act like huge speakers, carrying the sound...
i still cant believe how much attention this thread has gotten
