Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Nature of living in a shared environment. You expect others to tolerate your "typical" noises but have little tolerance for theirs? Having kids doesn't give you a pass, learn to coexist or find a place that better suits your mindset.

Yes you're right, a 2 year old and a 4 year old boy should be kept in check. No noise, no playing, nothing but contemplative study of War and Peace and the WSJ.
You're an ass.
You are also an ass. How would you like me to move in next door to you and play music so loud that the bass shook your walls for hours on end?
Geez people, do you guys really hate kids THAT much that you're advice is "Shut your stupid kids up or move the hell away?" I mean damn...these are LITLLE BOYS. Little boys make noise sometimes. The OP even says when they start to make noise...they TRY AND CORRECT IT IMMEDIATELY SO AS TO NOT BOTHER THE NEIGHBORS. The OP sounds like he's doing his job...and he has a neighbor that seems extremely similar to you two.
Makes me blood boil...

Dealing with a noisy neighbor
You're coming to the net for advice. You're going to get it all... When I was in an apt I'd turn up the tv as to not hear my neighbors kids... Maybe it's his choice.
If it bothers you call the cops. You're not going to work out a peaceful solution till he gets a notice... Then continue to do it. Then contact the hoa

Re: Dealing with a noisy neighbor
And my music happens to make noise.... that's what music does.
Kids don't get a free pass on the noise thing. Neither do animals.
Nature of the beast. Deal with it.

Never said kids did. So you think 45 minutes to 2 hours of music with wall shaking bass is fair to do in exchange for a minute or two of children laughing and playing loudly?

Neighbors and parents have different definitions of "loud" kids. I would bet, if you ask the neighbor, that the kids are constantly loud when they are home and I sometimes I have to play my music for a little bit so I don't hear them.
Glad you acknowledge it. You want your kids to act like shits, move somewhere they don't impose on their neighbors. If the kids weren't making noise, I suppose the neighbor wouldn't turn his music up. Pretty simple cause and effect.
Start documenting it. That's the most important thing for whatever your next step is.
Turn on the video camera preferably. Show how loud it is. Show you going over and knocking on the door and him not answering. Let it run, make sure you show a clock from time to time to document the time - preferably a cell phone clock (not that they can't be changed, but are far more likely to be accepted as accurate).
Get recordings of multiple instances. Dates, times, all recorded.
AFTER you have at least two, preferably three incidents recorded, you can either go to the HOA, and/or go to the cops, and/or come back here with the data for another pass through groupthink to get a second opinion. But no matter what, start by getting it recorded. Otherwise it's your word against his.
