You're damn right. Do you know how bad a ban hammer hurts? I know how bad....
I liked it so much I took it 3 times.
For the record tho, my son was planned....

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"
My feedback
I actually am very aware of the noise my boy makes. I am also very aware of people who have no tolerance for children in any capacity (i.e. you). It doesn't matter if my boy is shrieking at the top of his lungs, or if he's quietly talking to me about something he sees...my boy is going to annoy you. Is that my problem? Nope. If he's being too loud, I will handle it. If his mere presence annoys you...then I guess that's just some shit you're going to have to deal with on your own.
And you don't have to keep your opinions to yourself...that was merely a suggestion. It still doesn't mean that your opinions on children aren't just plain stupid though

OP you must also consider how you are perceiving the noise that you hear. It is very clear that this issue is beyond the noise, and likely both neighbors are so sensitive to anything produced by the other, that what would have been a normal/acceptable noise level before this all started, is probably infuriating now.
Sit down and actually ask yourself f being able to hear the bass is an issue because hearing it bothers you, or because you perceive it as a sleight? I remember being bothered by a basketball being dribbled 100 yards away across the street. Sounds ridiculous, but it was 2am on a Wednesday and while I was laying there trying to sleep it was all I could hear. Each bounce sounded louder and louder in my head as I became more angry.
Same thing with my neighbors drinking outside at 11pm the other night. I love having neighbors that aren't total trash for once, but it was a Monday night and I could hear them over our fan. I went outside and confronted them. They shriveled up like cowards and pretended the guy in the next yard, shinning a spot light in their faces and asking how long they planned to be up screaming wasn't there. Now they think I am a dick. I've been meaning to go talk to them and explain I only cared because it was a week night and my kid was sleeping. I haven't gotten around to it.
Anyway, before you go running off to the police, try to consider the ACTUAL noise levels, and how it may be perceived by each side. If you leave each other alone for long enough, you'll both probably grow numb and forget why you were upset in the first place. That is unless one, or both, of you can't see the situation for what it is and continues to be a passive aggressive dickhole.
Good luck.

No sir... I live in a detached house.
Oh believe me, I am...Rock on JM.
Come on now... A little ban never hurt anyone...
Nailed it I'm definitely an ass but your clueless indignation touches me so I'll take a moment to explain;
I didn't say a word about not liking kids or shutting them up, what I said was it's the nature of living in a shared environment. The OP didn't say he was rocking the block @ 2am, he's listening to his stereo for "up to" a couple hours in the middle of the day is what I gleaned from the OP. Bass tends to be omni-directional and low frequencies carry better than higher ones. It's possible the man is simply listening to his music at a moderate volume and the acoustics of the construction setup a harmonic that causes the walls to rattle. Maybe the speakers are against the shared wall. It's entirely possible the "revenge" is only in the mind of the OP, he didn't indicate the neighbor had complained about his kids. I did say having kids doesn't give you a pass - they make noise, he makes noise... they share a wall, it happens and people living in that environment need to learn to coexist or find a place that suits them better. Whining and blaming the other guy because you think his noise is worse than your noise is petty. Cops, document, record, HOA... jeez! If it bothers you that much go talk to the man. Boil away...
You still claiming it was a hammer used on you?

"when you're happy you enjoy the melody but, when you're broken you understand the lyrics".
All I can say is WOW..... there is a lot of bitching and whining here when no one other than the OP has any idea what the situation actually is.
I say the OP should have a BBQ and several of us show up to actually judge the noise level; either that or the OP should borrow a 2000W sub and play a continual test tone about 15 hours a day. Either way sounds like fun to me.
No no no..... If you're gonna go to war with the guy you go to war the right way.....
LOL, I like where you're going but if he actually had some bass in his voice you could hear it in another room. Where's the techno dance remix?
