I'll try this approach. I just don't want to be out of line, I guess.

If their music is that ridiculous, then they are out of line.

I think if there is alot of the "F" word then people shouldn't blast their music..Not everyone wants to hear that lol. I love my music and I love it loud but, when I stop at a stop light or am washing my car, I keep it at a level where not everyone can hear it, unless your in my yard kinda deal. Then again I live on a farm lol

I think it is noise violation after 11pm? Also, if you are driving it cannot be heard more than 50 feet from the car? Atleast thats what I have "heard" then again, laws change all the time, so I might be out of the loop on that one?

Call the Sheriffs dept. and report it. Tell them you don't want to be contacted.

Before you go bothering the Sheriff's Department, check the noise ordinances. Unless they are in violation (there are certain hours that are restricted) there is not much the deputies can do other then waste their time talking to the people. It might be quicked if you first try asking nice.

Yeah, cause you wouldn't want to "bother" the Sheriff's Department.

 

[baileydog]

She did not say Da Hood. She said a "hood", meaning a neighborhood.

Thank you Socki. You are totally correct. Although I would not want to live in Da Hood either.

Guess so. After living on a farm for awhile then moving to a neighborhood, I'll never live in a neighborhood again. I want atleast 3 acres of quietness surrounding me.

Green acres is the place to be
Farm living is the life for me
Land spreading out,
so far and wide
Keep Manhattan,
just give me that countryside.

New York
is where I'd rather stay
I get allergic smelling hay
I just adore a penthouse view
Darling, I love you,
but give me Park Avenue

The Chores

The Stores

Fresh air

Times Square

You are my wife. Goodbye city life.

Green Acres, we are there!

Bother them? Why not? If they are too busy they won't respond. If there doing nothing then they'll come out. If there is nothing they can do they'll tell you, Pretty simple, no?

Maryland Noise Statues C. "Day-night average sound level (Ldn)" means in decibels, the energy average sound level for a 24-hour day with a 10 decibel penalty applied to noise occurring during the nighttime period; i.e., noise levels occurring during the period from 10 p.m. one day until 7 a.m. the next are treated as though they were 10 dBA higher than they actually are.

Oh, forget calling the cops, etc... either go with the "yard watering" idea, "3am music blast" idea or shoot at them with bb's.

 

[mudpuddle]

I have the same problem with a neighbor. We are surrounded by trees and there is some room between our houses, but the "base" noise, actually makes our floors vibrate and our windows as well. We have called the police numerous times, and still they play their music....We have just given up! To make matters more complicated, it is not the owners of the house who play the music, it happens when a nephew of theirs visit...

have a great day all!

I would suggest that you administer small doses of lead at high velocity

 

[SuzieKerill]

Have you tried contacting the home owners association. We pay them plenty and they can fine them.

I had this happen once in CRE. I finally went over and asked nicely if they could stop doing it. They hated me and my family from that day forward. Eventually we moved to saint mary's.
