    Font - Drunkenly gossiping beneath my window? Enjoy hearing it played back to you! Edit: I realise now that "port" is not right and is actually just in my language haha. What I mean is an outside area that houses. surround and you all share it. You can have your little "garden area" there but it's an open plan. Like a "behind" area for our apartments but all of our apartments form a wall around it. It's common in Nordic countries. There are probably 14-20 apartments around this "port". Edit 2: A

    Font - I live in an apartment downtown of a capital. It's still fairly quiet as the bedroom side of it faces the little port we share with our neighbours instead of the street. Well.. it WAS quiet until our s neighbours moved in. They own a dog that barks desperately all the time, and two annoying little girls that literally scream bloy murder outside in the port in the

I can't say I blame them, seeing how their parents don't seem to be able to raise them nor their dog, so trying to get attention by any means seems to be the thing. I honestly feel really sorry for the kids.

    Font - The parents also loooove parties. And they loooove to take the party outside when the weather is nice, snOng, scream-laughing, droly singing and so on. And the port has a lot of echo so it's loud as fa. Point is they're just inconsiderate aes, but I don't feel like facing them directly as I am not confrontational and they seem dodgy and unstable.

    Font - The new thing seems to be not just keeping to the outside of their door, but rather use "my" side of the port as an extension of their party. They or their guests from the party would come and gossip drunkenly, underneath my window which I always keep open lest I drown in my own sweat. The first time I ignored it as I could, as it was only after midnight and a weekend. They stayed for like an hour talking shabout some people as I tried to shove my pillow deep into my ear canals.

    Font - Not much later they do it again. THE SAME PEOPLE, wt. I open the window as far as I can and slam it back. I almost saw their souls leave their body as they scurried away. There is peace beneath my window for some weeks, if you exclude screaming children, a barking dog and their inside parties. Then good weather rolls around (it's not super common at night in my country)

    Font - ac and garden party ensues. The gossip les roll around once everyone is po dok at 3am, and they start blabbing loudly beneath my window again, bi about some people. FO. That. But this time I was prepared. I grabbed my phone and immediately started voice recording. After a few minutes of their mean rants I fetch my Bluetooth speaker, place it in the window and start playing their sQ talk back at them, loudly enough for it to echo within the port and reach the outside party. They shut up ve

    Font - After I've played their stalking for a bit I am peaking behind my curtains and see them panicking, trying to see where the noise is coming from, but in their drunken state and with the echo they're not entirely sure where their voices are coming from. Giving up and going back to the party, I hear them speaking to the party guests in desperate voices, and it is clear to me now that they must have been stalking about their friends as the voices answering back are getting angry. It turns int

    Font - m1sterwr1te We had downstairs neighbors exactly like this. Loud parties,, scream-laighing, smoking the worst-smelling win existence. My wife finally recorded two of them (one a neighbor and the other a party guest) drunkenly flirting, then their drunken phone conversation a week later, with her trying to get back together with the guest. Of course, her roommate was also her girlfriend, who had no idea about the other woman. Cue my wife loudly playing back both conversations as they sat on

    Font - Maleficent_Link1755 Decades ago at university a friend of a friend had a noise issue with his next door neighbour's loud sOnoises coming through a shared wall. He took the same approach, recorded a performance, and played it back through the wall using a massive stereo once they had finished. The problem stopped. Reply Share 378

    Font - PistolPetunia Not that I'm in any way like these selfish as s...but I know if I was at a house party drinking and laughing it up, then suddenly I hear the conversation I just had booming back in surround sound where I couldn't figure out where it was coming from, echoing all around me, that would probably scare the ever living s out of me Ł 116 Reply Share

    Font - Introvert Protagonist It turns into a full blown shouting argument (lots of alcohol involved so no wonder), but this time I do not mind the noise and I cuddle my pillow satisfied. Peak chaotic good energy. 43 Reply Share
