Noisey Neighbours

[Chris James]

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

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.

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.

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.

Try Googling for:

<your city name> "noise nuisance"

Visit the local health department in your area, and file a complaint. State
that your health is being effected by the noise. They will be forced to do
an investigation.

I had such a problem some years ago, and the offenders were legally forced
to stop with their loud noise. They were playing music so loud, that my
walls were vibrating!

How they are allowed to enforce the law for noise pollution, is depended on
the laws in your area. In some areas, people are allowed to make very loud
noise at certain times of the day.

As for the method of blocking electronic noise, as per how your were
describing it, this is just bar talk. If you make any type of interference
that disrupts communications, then you may be the one ending up in trouble,
and not the noise maker.

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.
