Thread Starter | Kill My Neighbors Heh, you always know that a thread title that gets the moderator's attention will at least get a few reads. Now the sonic matter that I'm dealing with isn't exactly musical. The recording medium is my bedroom. The amplifier is my window. I've got obscene, masochistic, homo-erotic slander yelling through it, a baby that screams bloody murder (as if this neighborhood is that bad), and a car that sounds like The Lawnmower Man combined with Schindler's List every time it leaves in the morning around 7am. My first thought was packing blankets or something, but the kicker is I have a fiance' that doesn't care for gaudy packing blankets in the window. Honestly, as a blunt male, my first thought is sleep. To hell with aesthetics since we leave the blinds closed all the time anyway. However, that is something I need to consider. Anyway, it could be called music. I don't think so, but I still thought the predicament a bit forum worthy and was wondering what one might do to bring this sonic euphoria to a, well, a screeching halt. If anybody has any ideas, I'm down. Thanks for your time, -soupking

 | You're gonna hate this answer, but the most effective, easiest, least expensive thing you could do would be to move. Double-pane glass would help to some degree, but I seriously doubt your land lord would reimburse you for it...he's certainly not legally required to. The only other means to address it would be to plug the windows...build sheet rock walls over the windows essentially. If your fiance isn't grooving with the packing blankets, I don't think she'll be on board with removing the only natural light. Women and natural light...what can you do? Is any of it at least entertaining? Frank
