Couple plague their neighbor with texts asking him to be silent EVERY time their baby has a nap - even when he's being quiet. So who's in the right?
每次女儿睡觉，夫妇皆短信轰炸邻居要他保持安静，即便他不出声时也不例外。谁是谁非呢？

Drums in an apartment/condo? NO! Don't even think about it. Baby or not, it's too loud and others do not need to listen to it.DanReply toDan
Rockabillyrebel - Doesn't change what I said. Drums in an apartment - no way. Get your own house and then you can make as much noise as you want. When you share walls with others, you need to keep sound down to a normal level. Pounding on drums is not a normal level of noise. Read this again, just so you understand. Being a Hillbilly, maybe you should find someone to read it TO you!Polymath
Having been plagued with a noisy neighbour, I can tell you, you become hypersensitive. Now I don't give a fig about his so called being nice. You are not nice in the slightest if you have a drum kit in an apartment. End of.PolymathReply toPolymath
Maedusa, the electric drum kit is not silent is triggered by impact. It is designed to respond to force and act like a drum would. So prat tell, how is it not going to make noise? Why don't you toodle off down to a music store and give an electirc drum kit some smacks and then see if it makes noise. The imagine not about the noise of day, but the noise of twilight and then think, would I mind? If you say no I wouldn't, I hope you get the opportunity to virtue signal your tolerance.BEX
baby or not I wouldn't want to live below someone playing the drums! until you have lived in a ground floor flat you can't even have an opinion! I lived below some drug dealers once, just people going up and down the stairs and playing drums on the x box was enough, you can hear everything! I think the parents have been quite calm considering!Kinga
I don't think you should be able to drum or any loud instrument in a house unless it's sound proofed. If I just managed to get my baby down and was exhausted then to be met with some fool banging away I would peeved too !!!!Ann Newing
Drumming in an apartment block is inconsiderate, rude and around plain unacceptable. Surprised the management took so long to ban it. They were probably giving him a chance to work that out for himself. The neighbours should not have ever needed to text him about it. If you make noise that disturbs your neighbours, just wrong.YeahRightSure
If you can't afford a house then you can't afford a baby. Babies should not be allowed in appartments.ZosoReply toYeahRightSure
What are you talking about? Lots of people raise perfectly happy, healthy, well-adjusted children in apartments. Some people would rather raise their kid in the city than some boring suburb. And depending on the real estate market in your city, it costs considerably more to own a two bedroom apartment in NYC than some mcmansion in some other state.Ann Newing
See the messages are just from his point of view, and they don't flow. Have to wonder about the messages he's deleted, don't think he's as congenial as he's making out. When my kid was a baby my neighbour used to rev his motorbike in the street outside her window. For hours. He was completely oblivious to our predicament, and she was an unwell baby with narrowing of the ear canals causing painful burst ear drums, and struggling for sleep. The people who moan about parents choosing to have kids which shouldn't affect other people, remember it's the generations below you whose taxes pay your pension, and even trumpet players have quiet practice mouth pieces. No excuse for drumming in an apartment.kittiwakeReply toilovelavalamps
My instinctive reply was that it's a shame your parents didn't feel the same and decided not to have any. Some of them are a pain in the backside, of course but remember you'll be glad of them in times to come to sort out your pension, serve you in shops, keep your communication system going etc.etc.etc.ilovelavalampsReply toilovelavalamps
oh I am SO sick to death of the 'you'll be glad when you're old and they're wiping your a$$ bull$hit.' Seeing as a single taxpayer I've never sucked a dime from the system, unlike the VIP breeders. Some of us live life to the fullest, not the the longest, I'll be dead and buried long before I'm any VIP childs problem. And I'd rather have quiet shopping, no dings in my car doors, and be able to buy vegetables that some snot nose child HASN'T been handling cause Mum couldn't care less, and I'd like that NOW not later. Todays parents are a$$holes, breeding a$$holes.UltraAnglais
Our apartment block has a simple rule in the lease. If you're doing something in your flat that can be heard anywhere outside of it, that's classed as nuisance. A drum kit? Come on that would be awful. I can't believe how stupid people are in thinking drilling, hammering, loud music, parties won't be heard in anyone else's apartment. Or maybe they just don't care. I get it with screaming kids, and with mine I was always conscious neighbours could be disturbed, but I'm afraid that's nature and pretty much unavoidable. It's no fun for patents either by the way! Most other noise is man made (or should it be person made) and is utterly avoidable and selfish.UltraAnglaisReply toUltraAnglais
Yes you can there's a big difference with children crying, which if you read what I said is nature, pretty much unavoidable and you certainly did it, to man made noise like a drum kit which can be stopped in an instant. I'm amazed you can't see that. Also a baby will grow out of crying after a few months, idiot noisy neighbours never grow up or move.saysitlikeitisReply toenglandfree
englandfree - it is a multinational paper, not just British it is published in Australia & Asia as well as the US too. And fyi, American english is considered to be a different language to British english. That's why the Americans spell differently, they have different meanings to a lot of their words and different grammatical structure.Marisol
The neighbours have my sympathy. For a while we lived in a flat in a timber framed building, where every sound could be heard. Neighbour below us snored like a bull every night so we used an electric fan to deaden the noise. We couldn't understand why the flat beneath hers changed hands so often but realised one night that her snoring was keeping them awake as well, as they were banging on the ceiling with a broom handle. If you live in a flat general advice is, not to use the washing machine after 7pm and keep the TV/sound system volume at a reasonable level or use wireless headphones. You will get on a whole lot better with your neighbours. I'm not sure how Anyone in their right mind could consider it reasonable to play the drums in a flat!null
I hate people who inflict noise on others especially in their own homes. Your home in supposed to be where you can relax and have time to yourself, not on edge waiting for the inevitable noise.评论
