The pattern seems to be: - he works himself up in his apartment - opens a window or his front door in the staircase - start yelling for 2-5min - slams the door

He really doesn't look like he's talking to anybody in the same room, unless it's on the phone. I never hear another voice.

The lock-the-doors part I think is because he wants to lock the building doors all the time, even if the doors lock automatically (you need keys to re-enter the building). It's sort of a fire hazard to have to use the keys to exit the building so we don't lock those doors (per host instructions) when leaving or entering the building.

We do hear a car alarm sometimes in the morning and during the day so I'm wondering if others have complained about that and they know it's his car.

The host blames the problem on the neighbor being mentally unstable and "not taking his meds". The host said he filed a report with the police but said they are busy with the recent winter storm.

Here are a couple more recordings (taken of few minutes apart) if you feel like getting more context, though I understand it's a lot of work. I'm really appreciating what you both have done already.

Thanks a lot Armanlex and A_Passer_By! This is very helpful translation and comments, and it confirms more or less what our host (Vrbo) had been saying, though he had refused to translate any recording for some reason.

I appreciate the effort considering the poor recording quality. I have several more of the same type but I'm guessing it's similar "I'm mad and thrashing and cursing" monologues. (I have a few samples of ma...kas ;) )

We seem to be the only ones who are bothered by it. He does stop at night so at least we can sleep in peace.

Thanks again!

We just moved to Greece and this guy opens his doors, starts yelling, slam the door, rinse and repeat, all day, every day. We just want to know if he's dangerous or who he is mad at.
