Dear neighbours downstairs, while I understand your desire to have parties on Friday and Saturday nights and play your dance music at excessive levels until 3 am, I would really appreciate it if you didn’t start up again at 8 am Saturday morning, or play on Monday nights, or Tuesday at lunchtime, or the entire day Sunday. I’m not sure what you do with your time but some of us like to be able to hear ourselves think and you are making my bedroom sound like the inside of a club which is something that nobody wants. You suck. —One Rihanna Song Away from Calling the Cops

Blaring music on Sunday? Oh-oh, Grace, was that you? 😉
OB – refer to HRM noise by-laws.
play some heavy metal rly loud to drown out their shit taste in music. which reminds me, i have that gwen stefani song stuck in my head
*this shit is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S*
ugh!
Unfortunately, your neighbour isn’t breaking by laws during their sunday, saturday or tuesday listening of “music” (and I use that term very loosely). Monday night might be ok too depending on what time they’re playing it.
Any other time, just call the cops. For now, print a copy of the noise by laws, highlight the relevant parts and shove it under their door.
Speak with your neighbours regarding their excessive noise. Novel idea ain’t it!
If you make a complaint during the daytime or on the weekend, the landlord/police will still have to tell the tenants to shut up.
Koda. I would think confronting your loud neighbours could make things worse since it appears they have no repect for others around them and they could be assholes about it.
Go directly to the super, OP.
actually it’s disturbing ‘the peace and tranquility’ and says nothing of hours for that. if you are disturbed by the loud noise you can call the police. will they do anything? depends on the constable – call your landlord, call your superintendent, call police non emergency 490-5020, and call bylaw if you get no assistance (490-4000). Call police at the time it’s happening and by-law after the fact – they don’t roll right away so keep track of the times etc and be prepared in either case to make a sworn statement and be prepared to swear to it in court.
Are you sure they weren’t in heat….because that Beyonce shit sounds like a cat in a meat grinder.
i take that back. blast some dolly parton!
bray-once is always making my nerves tick. the are only a few other things that send me in shivers of disgust and vile.
the bear has perfected the scream from “invasion of the body snatchers” highly effective, especially on all hallows eve http://movieclips.com/4onpF-invasion-of-th…
if you want to really drive them nuts o.p., get hold of some christian music, turn about half way, and if they complain, say it is religious, and you are practicing your religion. cops can’t do much about it either. and after awhile, they will get the idea. just don’t be a piece of shit like them, stick to times, that you know are not gonna get you booted out.
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it, op.
I loves me some RiRi too. SSSSandMM S sss and MM LOL
OB, do you live on the commons by any chance? If you do we have the same neighbour and I am also at the end of my rope.
Did you go talk to them and ask them to not do that? Remind them that you’re doing them a favour by coming to them directly instead of pussing out and going to the fuzz. If they persist after you talk to them, then call the cops I guess.
Ahh OP I have a solution!
Buy a glock, find a posse of black friends and blast this song from your window:

If they protest, slap them with your pimp hand (kept strong by your hoards of women) hmm I shoulda mentioned that you’d need to appropriate some hos to acquire the required strength. Yup. If they still protest, get your gang to hold them buy their ankles, a la Vanilla Ice style. Problem solved.
That or file a damn report.
