Any tips on how to deal? .
I can't believe a Corleone is asking us how to deal with unruly neighbors !

Any tips on how to deal? .
If I have my doors and windows shut, and can still hear someone - that person is "invading" my space, which is a real issue for me and makes me totally and completely nuts.
It didn't occur to me until now to mention it but - I have tinnitus. I wonder if that's what's making me hyper-sensitive to noise that's not in my control. Maybe I should look into something that would mask the tinnitus noise and see if that makes things better.
Although, the lack of consideration of others is what really grates on my nerves. Especially since my wife and I were raised to be considerate people. <shrug>
Just thinking "out loud".
I notice there seems to be an assignment of reason as to why the noise, and it's not helpful, more likely it's upsetting.
Here we live in a house, and 2 backyards over, a large family has gatherings about every week or two.
I can easily hear them talking, these days folks have to sit 6-10 ft apart so they have to talk loud.
They also play music and it's not my type of music, and turn on floodlights when it gets dark.
They don't break any laws, and are minding their own business, so why should I complain, even if it bugged me the first time.
I notice when inside my home, with the radio or tv on, I cannot hear them.
For about 5 years we had the neighbor son playing basketball every day. Those bouncing balls really do carry the sound across the street and through a house. The kid grew up and moved away.

If noise starts to grate on my nerves, I either play some music to drown out the noise, use a fan to create some white noise, or wear noise-canceling headphones.
What did the toddler do with the golf ball? They don't really bounce, do they?
I'm the same way. A noise that is produced in an inconsiderate way is much more bothersome to me than a "legitimate" noise of similar volume.

Glad to see there are other people who get that.
I am loving this. All these years I thought i was the only one. Everybody else seems to live to make noise and is concomitantly oblivious to every manner of uncalled for audible intrusions impositions.
Considerate people everywhere - UNITE!
The Ahole renters across the road with two LOUD barking dogs just backed a large Uhaul truck down their driveway this morning.
I don't know whether to be ludicrous or ecstatic!
Yeah, I was using the ding, dong song substituting jerks for witch.The first 5 years I lived in my current apartment, back in the early 1990s, I had some noisy neighbors upstairs. They would come home at 11:30 PM every night, moments after I turned off my lights to go to sleep, and stomp around their apartment for about an hour. Losing that sleep every night was affecting my work performance because I'd get drowsy late in the day. I complained to my co-op board and did speak once to the husband. In the last year or so, the couple became 3 when they had a little kid who also stomped around. (I think I heard them the night the wife conceived LOL!) Why they kept coming home that late every night with a cranky kid was beyond me, too.
Then, one day in 1994, I learned they were moving out soon. Soon thereafter, I heard a lot of noise, like furniture being moved around. The wife came down to my apartment to tell me they were moving out and if I had any more complaints, don't tell them about it.
I went to my piano and played, "Happy Days Are Here Again" about 10 times!
