I'm an ***, but my neighbour is a bigger ***.

[Alex2507]

the husband knocks on the door yelling all sorts of crap

Now that's a problem and explains why the wife never said anything to him. She's probably afraid of him. Some people just can't be reasoned with and I don't think I would have made it past that point without somebody calling the cops and maybe an ambulance. I think you did well. Good luck.

Since a DBT would be ... unlikely, how about some pic's?

You really make me very curious now Alex

How do you DBT wives?

 

[cerwinmad]

I suggest you tell that neigbour to watch the movie "Grumpy old men"....
And then ask if he could recognize any resemblence?

Perhaps those people should get a life... like what we have
I thought Kiwi's didn't behave like that ?

ha ha we have allsorts here, but ive moved now and my neighbours are great.

Good to hear
I never had a complaint here, living in a detached house with neighbours not very close, so I can really crank up, whenever I want

Ask Jamie.

 

[MatthewB.]

Next time he complains, just tell him that you never beyatch to him that when he's at work, his wife is screaming "Pedro, Oh Pedro, your more man that my hubby ever is." and that the bedsprings squeaking for hours keeps you from taking your afternoon naps and that no way is your system louder than his wifes moaning.

But that would just be me.

Ask Jamie.

Well its like this see...................




There are a ton of girls who like to be with each other and a guy........sometimes you get lucky sometimes you don't....

I lived in an apt. for a while. What I did was:

-- Use headphones when it's only me
-- Run the subwoofer "cool" [or off]
-- Have a "silly-high" crossover point [like 200Hz]
-- Keep the overall volume relatively low
-- Use "midnight" modes so there's not a ton of dynamic range in volume

Some combination of the above should work for all but the most cruddy neighbors ....

Of course my final solution was to get a house. Now I run things properly calibrated and at reasonable volumes and all is good

If you have to ask...

He has encased one of my sprinkler heads in cement than buried it...

Your sprinkler deserves justice. Do the same thing to him (no, I don't mean one of his sprinklers).

J/K!

Move to an apartment with lots of kids. Parents won't even notice your screaming amongst the shrills of the kids.

I have at this moment turned my sub off untill I figure out what to do.

I plan to do some changes, like bring the mains down and keep the center as it is. This way I wouldnt have to worry about not hearing dialogues but still have some surround sound.

One question for those with kids. How do you run your system? I mean most movies with great surround are action movies.

Does it mean you watch these movies alone or with your wives.

Would you say having kids has changed your use of your HT sound?

 

[mike c]

yes, having a new baby or a new kid cuts down your HT watching time by 95.91%.

and i have two nannies to cover for me.

if you and your wife share the load - say goodbye to your HT.

if you let your wife do all the chores - rock on!

Mike c its nice to know your view point on this. I mean you probably have more subs in your HT than anybody on this forum.

Hence I understand you having two nannies. I mean your HT room has to have safety hazard signs on the for kids

Anyway in a sense if its not your neighbour banging on your door you have to atleast compromise for the kids. DAMN!

A couple of months after we moved to our new apartment, I met the wife of my neighbour outside and I asked her that do they here us when we watch movies (and this is after doing several speaker test and watching movies at night), she says no they do not hear anything. And I told her please if you do hear lets us know so we are aware of reaching the limit.

Several months later the husband knocks on the door yelling all sorts of crap that they cant stand the noise anymore. Here I'm surprised. I went to them the next day to apologise with my wife, this guy just bangs the door.

Yesterday he comes to tell me that he does want to hear bangs during day time. I have an 8 hour day job so I definately do not play music during the day. And when I return from work for a while I just sit behind my computer before I start playing music just to relax me. So either this guy has a supersonic hearing or my hearing is impaired.

Hell I listen to music mostly in pure direct mode so I dont know what his deal is. Yeah I might have broken the rule but what ever happened to communication between adults.

Anyway I just needed to vent.

I think you should do the neighborly thing and buy he and his wife a gift. You can gift wrap it and tape it to their door.

Attach a note...... "a gift from your friendly neighbor"

I think I have a better suggestiion, rather sth like:

Attach a note...... "a gift from your friendly neighbor, and thanks for last night "

Kids... ugh...

There is a child care center right next door to my house... I'm awoken each day, promptly - at 10AM... they just let those kids loose in the play area and all you hear is yelling and laughing and stuff.

It sucks.

Yet, some would argue that sleeping until 10AM is a luxury
