Noisey Neighbours

My 'neighbours' play that crappy boom-boom music when I am trying to rest . Years ago , a friend told me that he solved the problem of an electric guitarist next door . His solution was a broadcasting device which passed loud clicks into the guitarist's signal path . He used the expression ' capacitor discharge ' . Could such a broadcasting machine work against my modern menace ? Or was the whole thing ' bar talk ' maybe .

Thanks Chris

Maybe, but a signal powerful enough to do so would interfere with lots of other electrical devices in your area. This could result in you getting into a lot of trouble.

I would suggest that you look up the relevant laws in your area, and, if applicable, make a complaint to your local authority. For example, in England it is an offence under the "Environmental Protection Act 1990" to cause a "statutory noise nuisance".

Regular loud music from a neighbour would be considered a statutory noise nuisance.

Call the police and have them arrested. In California it's called "creating a disturbance"; other places it's called "disturbing the peace". When they have to take a day off from work to go to court then pay a fine, attitudes change.

Reminds of the noisy neighbor that lived upstairs in CA, she was a nurse and worked from 3-11, then went out and found a friend for the evening, she was L O U D, but interesting. Finally at a apartment party both her and I were talking and I started talking about the loud person upstairs, I knew it was her but pretended otherwise, she was busted quickly and the noise settled down.

In my case the problem was a barking dog. Get several neighbors to also complain to the police. This way, the noise maker will realize your complaint is just one crabby neighbor.

If you mean a Restraining Order, yeah, if you go down to the courthouse on your own, you can get one of those issued; they cost some bucks.

The way to do it is to get him arrested and in court and while the judge is issuing the fine, have the judge issue the order from the bench. The equivalent of *go and sin no more*.

If the jerk does it again, now he's in defiance of a court order (contempt of court) and it's an automatic trip to the pokey (like violating probation) and he doesn't get out until he appears before THAT judge and apologizes and says he'll straighten up. If the judge is on vacation, the jerk sits in jail until the judge gets back.

I couldn't afford the "fees" the cops wanted to charge to maintain the peace, so I finally had to move. Glad I did in the long run; those bastards were bleeding me dry.
