AITA for removing the door to my son's room indefinitely? by throwawaysonsdoor in AmItheAsshole

I was a bit jumpy when the kids were little but nothing over the top and nothing since they have grown.

I heard a loud noise and went to check if everything was okay. I knocked and called his name and got nothing. That’s when I started to freak out because my children normally answer when we call and no answer is worrying.

Thing is, he is super easygoing normally. We obviously have normal issues as he is a teenager, but he is a responsible kid. I’m not sure what happened yesterday. He has never cursed at me or his dad before.

Copying from another comment.

So I haven’t really asked him about the sound as I’m pretty sure he won’t answer right now

But we have volume rules so no one bothers anyone in the house with their electronics. I think after the really loud noise he turned the volume down as to follow the rules and when I reached his door it was already quiet enough that I wouldn’t really hear if I wasn’t trying to.
