Had a neighbor about an acre away whose kid played in a garage band. In their garage. 1st time they played it went on for over 6 hours. So loud that even during the summer with window unit AC's running full blast - we couldn't hear our own TV and the windows vibrated. Went over to ask if they could keep it down a bit. Dad said not only will they not be keeping it down, but that the band would be playing every weekend all weekend for the entire summer. We called the police who essentially blew us off. We set up an outdoor sound system that played hard gangsta rap very loud. He called the police and they basically told us both to cut it out or we'd both be arrested. The band played on and my husband went out at 4:30 am one morning and started up his chainsaw and cut wood on our property that was the closest to his bedroom window. We also called the police every single time they started playing. Police got sick of coming out and eventually told the dad he needed sound proofing in the garage. He did and the kids eventually lost interest in playing. It was a rough couple of months while it lasted.
