That... that was my advice. The cheek of it.

Yeah, so here's the rest of the story.

My roommate, who is really my apartment-mate and lives in the room next to me, also heard the music. And was PISSED OFF. So she starts screaming out her window "TURN THE FUCKING MUSIC OFF!" Then in retaliation she starts blasting opera.

Let me tell you, a mix of classic rock and opera might be cool, but not in the sense that two completely different songs are playing and not supposed to mesh.

Eventually the music cut off abruptly at about 3am and I was finally able to curl up and sleep so I could get up for class this morning.

The moral of the story is: music wars are horrible and harm innocent bystanders more than the fighters.

after about 10 minutes I would have called the cops anonymously.

It's nice not liveing close to neigbors.

A dude that does live one house over, does have a drum set. but you have to go outside to hear him.

I should one day walk over there with my guitar, and be like, hey! Lets jam!
Random jamming. YEA..

Living next to the biggest area of student apartments in town for most of my life, moving progressively closer (though, I've yet to actually move into the area itself).

Of course there is a traditional hang out/party building (Herrgårn, or HG (translates roughtly to "the mansion")).

It is very popular with the foreign students, particularly the germans but also other nationalities and particularly extrovert Swedes.

Concerts/parties tend to get rather loud, though fortunately the really loud ones are far apart.
You get used to it.

I love surround sound. When the neighbor kids decided to play....so did we and usually the corniest songs we could think of.

Ghetto music and "Cotton Eye Joe" don't mix.

In such a competition, I fear my brother would always be the victor.

Where he got a heavy metal version of "I en rosa helikopter" (Swedish kiddie pop song, title translates to "In a pink helicopter", it's as bad as it sounds), I do not even want to know.

Our previous neighbor had a Harley Davidson and he would leave for work every morning at 4 am. And, yes, his driveway was right next to our bedroom window. Strange thing about Harley's apparently they start cold and need to be reved up for several minutes to get them ready.

A guy in my friend's dorm played Lollipop (It's a song by Aqua--the lyric, "whoooaoaooa! I am the candyman!" might be more recognizable) on repeat for like 3 hours. Apparently, the guy was trying to run a club inside his room, except nobody else was around. We could just imagine him jumpin' around, bouncing off the walls all by himself all like, "yeah! Great party!" It was pretty funny, especially since I could leave whenever I wanted.

But then, my bastard neighbor plays crappy rap music at 1 in the morning sometimes, too (No offense to people that like that sort of thing, it's just not my deal is all), and then lets his alarm clock go off for a few hours without turning it off (or at least he DID, I think his roommate kicked his ass a few times over it).

Sorry your roommate sucks Tellurider.

My neighbor kid has a drum set. Plays it occasionally, always seems like the same song though, and he hasn't improved in the two years he's been playing. Blech.

Though truly, the noise pollution I've always had to suffer through is noisy dogs. One of the next-door neighbors at all times, apparently, must have dogs that howl on a daily basis. The old neighbors had rotweilers that would howl for hours. The new ones have dobermans. But I haven't heard much of the dobermans in awhile. I think our crazy neighbor lady has been drugging them to keep them quiet...

I'm that guy that everyone in the neighborhood can hear playing loud, obnoxious punk music through huge amplifiers. And I DO have a drumset!

I'm not the only one though. There is a band right next door to me. But at least we don't play after the sun goes down like they do.

And there's a soul food restaurant situated right next to my apartment, who most likely got more than they bargained for. So far, no police have been called, but sooner or later it will happen.

Oh, and I had a neighbor kid with a drumset once. All he did was bash cymbals and the snare as hard as he could without even attempting to play anything. This same family had a rooster in a cage for a few months that crowed once every 10 seconds. I now largely hate roosters...grrr..

I have a drumset. I play really quiet though. I likes me the finesse.

I also have a marching snare with a kevlar drumhead. That'll pierce your eardrums.

at three in the morning, just go out to the middle of town and bang that thing once. it'll set off every dog in town

Heh yeah. Rimshots sound like guns when done outside.

Is it a vented snare? Those things are freaking loud.

We need to get a wicked mellophone line to do some runs.
