View Full Version : Loud Mouth Redneck Trash
theGinsue

Before I start, yeah, I'd LOVE to move out of suburbia and out in the middle-of-nowhere so that my closest neighbors are 10+ acres away, but I just can't afford to move to the mtn's and I have no desire to live out on the prairies.
I have these neighbors who live behind me and one house over.
They have a hottub in their backyard sitting right next to a nice picture window where they can watch their television through the window while in the hottub. Since sound won't travel as well through the window/walls, they've mounted loud speakers to the outside of their home so they don't miss a thing (and neither will any neighbor within a 5 home radius). The speakers are also linked to their stereo.
I've endured the explosions and car chases of the action movies they watch @ 1AM. I've listened to their blaring music @ 2AM, and I've listened to their sports games late into the evening/night (like tonight).
Tonight I decided I've had enough of their inconsideration for their neighbors and I called the police. This is just the start of the football season and I'm not going to go through another year of this cr@p. Of course, the game ended tonight and the police never showed - even though I told them that I was willing to sign an official complaint against these people. So once the trash went back into their home I called the police back and cancelled the call. But, the next time I hear them hootin' & hollerin' like a bunch of inbred hillbillies, I'll call again, and again, and again - each time until these people start abiding by some level of civility and showing some consideration for their neighbors. I'd just like to sit in my own home - with my windows closed without having MY television drowned out by these people.

Ever considered... ya know... talking to them?
Well, just keep them out of the hot tub. Go buy a couple chlorine tablets and thrown them in the tub. They will not like the water then (it won't hurt them... too much...). Anyway, it's not life threatening at all, mainly just annoying. Or, get a silencer or wrist rocket and take out the speakers!

Been there, done that. Not only myself, but other neighbors as well. They are offended by the fact that I'm offended by their excessive noice. They instantly get offended and aggressive. Too much potential for a situation to go from bad to worse to try it again.

Fair nuff. Having tried and failed, and them becoming aggressive, definitely time for the law to get involved (I'm sure you're thinking "no shit Sherlock" as you read that).
Or you could, of course, try some "other" means... [Muaha]
About how many yards are they from your house? Door to door?

The follow up suggestion to the answer to this question should be classic.
Not gonna lie, but that setup they have sounds pretty badass...
The easiest way to 'fix' your neighbors is to pitch in for a set of wireless headphones. :D
I have tinnitus, so I sleep with a fan on anyway. If any of my neighbors are making noise I just throw in some ear plugs, or I use my iPod.

Dude, you have no idea how many different scenario's I've run through my head to do to them - but they all end up with me getting arrested so I don't do any of them (notice my reluctance has nothing to do with having a bleeding heart towards these jerks - just my own skin that concerns me). But, I can still dream![Coffee]

Hmmm. My back door to their back door I'd say ~20-25 yards - max.

Sure, I agree and wouldn't mind at all if they showed a little restraint and courtesy. Now their setup is the bane of my existence.

I wasn't in bed yet (shold have been since I have to gt up @ 0430). I was on my computer in my dining room - with the tv on in the next room [wife was watching it] that was honestly getting drowned out with the neighbors noise often enough that had I been trying to pay attention to teh program I wouldn't have been able to.

while i have disgust for the next mention group do you have one, The HOA ? If not a neighborhood petition with a lot of signatures will have the neighbors classified as a nuisance.
Every time a call is placed to local LE it is logged. After 1/2 doz or so calls i would meet with the head of the dept and ask why nothing has been done to stop this issue. I ended up meeting with the mayor and clown manager many years ago, to deal with the town atty who told us we have no rights. OOPS that did not fare so well for the atty.

Keep a video record of their shenanigans. Keep calling the police. If they finally show up, maybe you could file multiple complaints.
They've already been jerks, so don't confront them again. Last week a guy in his 60's walked over to his neighbor's to ask them to tone down the noise and bon fire at around 2am. His next stop was in my ER with 3 bullet holes in his back.

I'm pretty sure you have a right to "quiet enjoyment" of your property in the State of Colorado! Maybe film them with a video camera for evidence. A judge can order them to cool it. If they violate a court order they go to jail or are fined.
Might see if some other neighbors feel the same as you. A "cease and desist" order can be pretty effective to limiting the decibel level of noise emanating from their property. I usually prevail in court...

I'm sure you have an extra power supply laying around that would be in the right power range and you could then hard wire the TV-B-Gone causing it to constantly send the signal.
EDIT
TV-B-Gone site says it uses two CR2032 batteries, they're 3V each so that would mean you'd need a 6V power supply ... if you don't have one laying around they're cheap at Radio Shack (http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2049709&CAWELAID=107599302). (based on the link in EDIT 2, I'm thinking maybe they aren't wiring the batteries in series so just 3V adapter would work).
Although I think you're going to need to hack together something since the IR emitter on the TV-B-Gone is probably not powerful enough to reach that distance.
EDIT 2
Ok, maybe this kit (http://www.ladyada.net/make/tvbgone/)would work. I bet if you contacted the maker and discussed what you were trying to do (long distance, through glass) he could let you know if it'll work and maybe what you'd need to do to get it to work.

A kiddie pool and Epsom salt is not a hot tub.
Go offer them a peace offering. A nice George Forman electric grill, to sit next to the hot tub. One little oopsy and the problem is solved. [Muaha]

Next time when you call the police, tell them you have a noise complaint (of course) but also that it sounds like a party over there and you "think there maybe underage drinking" going on. They will show up and even if they don't find any kids drinking the police will make the noise stop while they're there.
I have called noise complaints twice. The first they didn't show up. The second, I knew there was underage drinking and thought it was going to get out of control, told the police that and they showed.

I've done that before. Although the experiences I've had- cops called 1st time just gave a warning to pipe down. Noise went back up after they left. 2nd visit the police issued a noise ticket ($135). Noise went back up again. 3rd time, cops threatened to make a mandatory disturbing the peace court summons. Enough times and you can even get the rest of the neighborhood in on a civil suit and then hillybilly hot tub folks won't be able to afford their mortgage.

Thanks for the offer. Was your hillbilly hottub a 55 gallon drum cut open on it's side and held over a fire pit like ours was? (found out the wheelbarrel was too small and just didn't work well).
The think about this whole deal is that I can understand some degree of noise, but these folks clearly have no interest in showing consideration to their neighbors (even in my hillbilly days we respected our neighbors).

We have a similar, but not as severe, problem with neighbors behind us. My wife and I have discussed the possibility of partnering with the other surrounding neighbors, installing and directing speakers toward the offensive neighbors. We are thinking about all of us playing the same opera CD, at the highest level possible (maybe even 11) just to see how long it takes for them to get the idea. I like Ride of the Valkyrie (really anything by Wagner) but my wife thinks that rednecks might actually like that too much. Come to think of it, I think my wife just called me a redneck... [ROFL1]
Video recording with the time/date stamp. Keep a log of when you call the cops, if they show up, how long it takes them to respond, and how long it takes before the loud noises stop. Eventually, when you go to court, the side with the most documentation tends to win these types of disputes.

I've avoided calling the police on these inconsiderate pricks for more than 2 years due to some misplaced idea of properly neighborly behavior. What I came to realize last night is that THESE jerks don't share any similar sort of idea of neighborly decency so out the window with that from me to them.
Once thing I won't do is any sort of full fledged vandalism of their property nor will I discharge a firearm within the city limits as an act of vengence versus self-defense (discharging a pellet gun in COS is the same as discharging my AR by city statute).
I will not subject myself or my family to criminal or civil charges because of my reaction to the fact that these asshats choose to break the law. For once, I will do it the smart and legal way.
ETA:
It would not end there and people like that are not worth going to Jail over, in some cities discharging a Pellet gun within city limits can be the same charge as using a real firearm, and if they are anywere near were you are shooting you are liable to end up with a charge like Negligent use of a deadly weapon, not sure what city you are in or if the laws are even the same either way just not a good idea. From what it sounds like he has gone over and talked with them and they just flat out dont care, not much more he can do except for keep doing what he is doing, some of the idea's were definitely funny.
You think like I do. I guess if I had just read further before responding I wouldn't have had to respond since you covered it better than I did! Right on. I really did try speaking with these clowns on a couple of occassions - won't try that again.

True.
While I have no problem dealing with the consequences of my actions, I don't want to cause my other neighbors any problems or discomfort. Many of the possible solutions given would see ths result and that wouldn't make me any better than the neighbors I'm having issues with.
I can be evil and conniving - and have in the past, but I really want to take the high road and do it right this time. (I've got to take a polygraph for work often enough that I'm not going to screw it up on things like this).

While I have no problem dealing with the consequences of my actions, I don't want to cause my other neighbors any problems or discomfort. Many of the possible solutions given would see ths result and that wouldn't make me any better than the neighbors I'm having issues with.
I can be evil and conniving - and have in the past, but I really want to take the high road and do it right this time. (I've got to take a polygraph for work often enough that I'm not going to screw it up on things like this).
This doesn't sound like theGinsue we all know and love. [Poke]
I've had friends with issues of bad neighbors. And one funny occurrence. I was over at their house for a party years ago during the final game of the stanley cup finals (can't remember the teams playing since it wasn't the Avs) and it was maybe 6PM when the cops came citing that we were being too loud. Really? At 6 in the evening? We knew who it was because these were the same neighbors who would play NSync (or some other crap music I'm not familiar with) at like 1AM and party. Revenge? We would all get on our phones and tell Dominos we were having a party and order about three dozen pizzas to that address. Granted between five of us it was only about 4 pizzas each, but blocking our numbers and giving them their home number did warrant a nice visit from Lakewood PD for harassment. I think this was a one time deal, but looking over the fence to see three cops at their door was pretty funny!

Next time when you call the police, tell them you have a noise complaint (of course) but also that it sounds like a party over there and you "think there maybe underage drinking" going on. They will show up and even if they don't find any kids drinking the police will make the noise stop while they're there. .
No, next time an action movie is on call 911 and say "I hear gun shots down the street at 123 Main Street. Sounds like full auto!!"
Wanna trade? My neighbors play Mexican music as loud as they can until 1am. Then get into fights and tag the place up when the party is over. Don't get me started on May 5 a-holes honking horns and flying some third world countries flag. I'd take some rednecks over them anyday.
...is no BS. I had neighbors like that. Called the police on them once and told the officer, if a single one of them can speak clear English or produce a valid CO driver's license, I won't sign the complaint. Otherwise I expect to see you in about 5 miutes. <complaint was signed - imagine that>
On a side note, I love the way you guys think. Everything from ninjas to squirrels to "woopsies". At least I know where to go when I have a nuisance problem. [Beer]
