Ok, I'll start this off by saying I KNOW I have a loud stereo. It is loud, and I use it to its potential.

This said, I have talked to 3 of my 4 neighbors(all different apartments directly connected to mine). I have been living here 3 months. My neighbor just came up here and FLIPPED out, he said he never gets any sleep, blah blah blah, I basically told him, listen man, I'm not inconsiderate, but I've talked to all the other neighbors and they all said it wasn't a problem or they couldn't hear it, if you'd said something 3 months ago, I wouldn't play music nightly.

I seriously thought he was gonna cry. I actually think he's pissed cuz Friday night I had a party at my place which I'm sure was noisy, but come on its the first party I'd had all year, he lives on a college campus, our other neighbors have them weekly, its not like its an uncommon thing around here.

In short, I'm not an asshole, but if no one tells me its a problem, I don't know its a problem, don't bitch at me.
 
Wow. I am not sure how anyone can read your post and *not* think you are inconsiderate, but you just dismiss it.

How am I not? He specifically said, and I quote, "After being here, I see you aren't blasting it or anything, it just happens to travel very well". Its not like I'm playing excessively loud music at 3am with no qualms to anyones feelings. Its a reasonable volume, from a good stereo, and I've specifically asked all the other neighbors, "Is my stereo a problem", they said no...I'd have asked him too if he didn't hibernate 24/7.
 
So why are you telling us this? You should always turn down the volume when you live in an apt, I don't care if you have permission from neighbors or not.
 
I hate pricks like that. My next door neighbor will b1tch at me if I play bass past 9 o'clock, so between 9-10, the last hour of noise curfew, I turn it up even louder. I mean seriously, he's complaining and I have it turned up 1/8 of the way, he needs to get a life.
 
You're the prick. Turn your bass down. You may think that you're cool, but wait until he does the same thing to you.

 
<---doesn't go to Deeko's college anymore for that same reason......

Engineering+living in the actual hosue where the parties are = :thumbsdown:

You're missing the point. Its *not* that loud, the sub is only at half volume on top of it, I've talked to all the other neighbors, and I had no idea it was bothering him, considering it wasn't bothering the other 3/4. If *every* night I've been keeping him up, why didn't he say something?

The thing that annoys me even more is he bitched about me coming home late. Sorry bud, you've at least got a case when you talk about music, but I can come and go whenever the hell I want. If me walking up the stairs wakes you up....
 
As long as you cut out the music after hours, then it's all good. Maybe he didn't complain before but he is complaining now.

I have no problems with turning it down, that's the thing. He is acting like he's been saying something to me on a daily basis over the last 3 months...when really I've only seen him period maybe twice.
 
Be careful Deek, there have been instances where sh!t like this has spun out of control and violence resulted, sometimes deadly.
 
I dont think people realize how well bass travels. I've had my computer playing music so softly that I could barely hear it when I was sitting AT the computer, yet my wife can still hear it while she's watching TV a floor and 3 rooms away. Be considerate Deeko, turn that bass down.
 
Your wrong! If it bothers him you need to stop it. Bass resonates through buildings and doesn't have to be particularly loud to do it. My boys 20 watt Bass practice Amp carries through 2 floors all the way down to my basement clear as a bell at 1/4 volume. He sounds like one of those non confrontational introvert types and probably didn't say anything til now hoping you would figure it out on your own. If you have to play it use headphones. You do not have any right at all to inflict your noise on even 1 of your neighbors. I would also say you owe him points for not going to the building management about it. He came to you first to give you an opportunity to do the right thing. If you decide to take the "screw him" attitude then I would complain to the building management everytime you turned it on.
 
If you need to go around asking people if it bothers them, then it's at a problem level. The reality is that you live in an apt building. You don't have the freedom you desire. If even one person has a problem with it (and they're not just being a PITA), then you have to lower it. Common courtesy, no matter how long it has been.

I have a couple of old ladies next door to me (we have houses at least 20 feet apart) and I don't blast my MetallicA at full throttle. That would be inconsiderate. How would you like it if some punk kid moves into your neighborhood after you being there for 60+ years and starts playing noise ? Lack of respect. I don't need them coming over here to tell me that.

Basically, if you live in an apartment, suck it up and turn it down. It is obvious its a problem and you are being inconsiderate by not doing anything about it and just saying "its not too loud."

Explain to us how you are in the right ? You shouldn't have it that high to begin with if you live among other people who *could* be bothered by it. Bottom line is - you're turning it down, right ?
 
Ok, so read the thread and tell me where I said I shouldn't turn it down and should be allowed to blast it. Come on, do it, find it, I dare you. Its not like I said I'd turn it down now that I know its a problem, and I was annoyed by his approach and the fact that he bitches that I come home late at night. No, its not that at all, I MUST have said it was ok to blast it.

You didn't. And I didn't say it either. Bottom line - you're turning it down right ? You should've known to in the first place - read the thread to find out why. That coulda saved you some b!tching. Actually it coulda saved us all some b!tching.
 
ok whats the point of this thread? well besides to show how big a prick the OP is? you live in a APARTMENT have some respect.

man this is why i like having a house in the country. i can play a stero as loud as it goes and nobody complains. Though we did have the guy next door say that he heard the music from a party i had once. heh wich was amazing since he lives about 1/4 mile away heh.
