Noisy neighbor blasts rap music at 7 a.m., so man parks truck on property line and drowns them out with heavy metal music on full volume: 'I have been enjoying my silence ever since'

When this man traded the noise of city life for the peace of the countryside, he thought he was signing up for quiet mornings, not bass battles. His new property sits several hundred feet from the nearest house. It's the kind of distance where you should only hear frogs, birds, and maybe the occasional truck on the dirt road. But one family next door had other plans.

He'd already had a rocky start with them when their kids used to ride dirt bikes all over his lot during construction, even trashing the unfinished home once. So when he woke up one morning to pounding Spanish rap bass echoing across the acres, he'd officially had enough.

  • He politely tried knocking on their door, but they just ignored him. That’s when he decided to take things into his own hands (or rather, his sound system). He pulled his truck to the property line, turned the volume up, and let Slayer’s “Raining Bl**d” scream through the swamp for a full fifteen minutes.

    When the metal stopped, so did their music. Sometimes, peace and quiet just takes a little… volume adjustment.

    Agent_Dutchess https://www.reddit.com/r/pettyrevenge/comments/1o92bln/petty_neighbor_pretends_i_dont_exist_blasts_loud/ - I just moved from a very densely- populated suburb to the rural swamp lands where everyone has 3+ acre plots.

  • Agent_Dutchess https://www.reddit.com/r/pettyrevenge/comments/1o92bln/petty_neighbor_pretends_i_dont_exist_blasts_loud/ - This is important to establish the physical distance between myself and the issue. The issue: The family to one side of my land has a plot roughly half my size.

  • Agent_Dutchess https://www.reddit.com/r/pettyrevenge/comments/1o92bln/petty_neighbor_pretends_i_dont_exist_blasts_loud/ - My house is at the back left corner of my lot while theirs is curbside on the front right.

  • Agent_Dutchess https://www.reddit.com/r/pettyrevenge/comments/1o92bln/petty_neighbor_pretends_i_dont_exist_blasts_loud/ - I was woken up this morning by a loud banging. I thought someone was knocking HARD on my door because it was relentless and loud af.

  • Agent_Dutchess https://www.reddit.com/r/pettyrevenge/comments/1o92bln/petty_neighbor_pretends_i_dont_exist_blasts_loud/ - I get up, get dressed and walk outside. Nothing. Then I hear the obnoxiously loud bass line of Spanish rap music - the amateur-skill-level beat that 10,000,000 of those songs all share, 1234 BOOM boom boom boom BOOM boom boom boom.

  • Agent_Dutchess https://www.reddit.com/r/pettyrevenge/comments/1o92bln/petty_neighbor_pretends_i_dont_exist_blasts_loud/ - Again, our houses are several hundred feet away. There is no excuse for me to be hearing anything from his lot and vice versa.

  • Agent_Dutchess https://www.reddit.com/r/pettyrevenge/comments/1o92bln/petty_neighbor_pretends_i_dont_exist_blasts_loud/ - I had previously tried to introduce myself to these neighbors. The father was mowing the lawn a few days ago and i tried to go over to say hi to him.

This family already disliked me because my builder had to kick his kids off my land - they had been using it to ride dirt bikes and did not stop even when my home construction began.

  • Agent_Dutchess https://www.reddit.com/r/pettyrevenge/comments/1o92bln/petty_neighbor_pretends_i_dont_exist_blasts_loud/ - At one point they "trashed" (threw garbage and toilet paper'd) the house when it was still being framed, the construction crew lost a days work to it.

  • Agent_Dutchess https://www.reddit.com/r/pettyrevenge/comments/1o92bln/petty_neighbor_pretends_i_dont_exist_blasts_loud/ - There are still clear paths from their property to mine where they rode. This morning, I went to his door and knocked on it to ask him to turn it down.

  • Agent_Dutchess https://www.reddit.com/r/pettyrevenge/comments/1o92bln/petty_neighbor_pretends_i_dont_exist_blasts_loud/ - They ignored me. So, I took my truck (with an upgraded sound system+sub), parked it on our property line, and proceeded to blast Raining Blood by Slayer for 15 minutes.

  • Agent_Dutchess https://www.reddit.com/r/pettyrevenge/comments/1o92bln/petty_neighbor_pretends_i_dont_exist_blasts_loud/ - I turned it off 15 minutes ago and have been enjoying my silence ever since. Guess he doesn't like my music either?

  • sbrown 100 Solid song choice for your retaliation. If there is a next time, play some Lamb of God or Meshuggah perhaps?

  • RobZagnut2 Condo neighbors used to watch TV until 1:00-2:00 am. So, after a week of that when I got up at 6:30 am for work, I started blasting sports radio before I hopped in the shower. It stopped.

  • phillybhatesme Haha well done. My neighbors got introduced to Necrophagist the last time. their music was too loud on Sunday morning.

  • OkieBobbie Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture. is always a good attention- getter.

  • Fluffy_Job7367 That worked for me once too. Had a neighbor that was blasting Whitney Huston. I put my speaker in the window and stated blasting led zeppelin Kashmir. She got the message.

  • Dollah_Short Try some dub step along with the metal. Maybe some bag pipe music or William Hung's version of She Bang on repeat.
