"There are no finger prints under water."
Reading this horrible vindictive thread on the first 3-4 pages was sad........................ but good point Irving.
There are those that have never been parents /yet, who sit back and say; "I hope my kids wont be like that some day ,friggin brats." (this is the part that will cursed them guaranteed.) Sometime you dont truly understand unless you ARE a parent.
Kids as soon as they start talking to 7 or 8 years old will be noisy period, specially boys.
As parents you constantly stress to keep the noise level down. Not once, not twice, times it by hundreds of times throughout a week. They will learn, but it takes time. My boys have gotten much better at not being so loud in doors.
I live in an apartment now since Nov last year. We went to our neighbors when we first moved in and broke the ice and ask them to lets us know if they are too loud so we know. Worked like a charm, specially since my boys have earned the nickname of "little Terrorists" for a reason. We have had not one complaint, even followed up with them. We are lucky though sounds like the OP is not, a neighbor who does not have/like kids.
The original post didn't sound like they were rowdy for hours on end. kids do no resonate low frequency noise that vibrates through the floors and the walls. Sounds like his neighbor is just being an ass, unwilling to communicate. As everyone said, document, continue to try and communicate. If other neighbors hear it to get them involved, more than one against is better than he said she said. Not easy to just go find another house to rent. Think there is no easy solutions.
Maybe the link about the sound dampening the shared wall will work. Might be cheaper than moving.![]()

"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles. --Jeff Cooper"
