Presume it's house music? :pac:

I neither know, nor care, about the specifics of what it is, it's a racket, and it's late.

I remember when I used to live in Union Place, Sligo, it was the Haight Ashbury area for its time in the early 1990s. Anyway I had a neighbour who lived above me who played relentless techno all day and all night. At one point in the early hours of the morning I snapped and went out to the hallway and flipped his electricity off, he was crashed out with his stereo blazing the numpty. Next morning he was fuming as I ended up killing all his fish in the aquarium when I switched his leccy off.

Just wait till the morning when hes sober and say in a nice way "hear <insert gobbos name> go easy on the bleedin techno at all hours will ye,
Say it in a jokey sort of manner, not in pencil neck angry sort of way.
It is better to get on with your neighbours and complaining usually just leads to anger and a big **** you hire up the volume whenever hes drunk .

Is it a regular occurance or is this just out of the blue? , might it be a party.........and your pi$$ed off you weren't invited/couldn't attend :pac:

There tends to be a lot of noise coming from his apartment all the time, like he is moving furniture, or hacking up bodies, but this is really bad tonight.
Don't think it's a party, there are no voices, just racket.

Would love to do that, but pretty sure I can't get access to his power supply.

If all else fails you can always retaliate with Rick Astley too...

I'm sensing this thread might keep you up longer than his music.

You could always grab a rolling pin or some such other device and go round and give him some repetative beats of your own!

That'd be "racquet", so no.

Order a few pizzas to his house. He'll turn it down when he sees the delivery heavies on his doorstep looking to get paid.

That would work, and be rather interesting to watch, but no one round here delivers this late.

No that's too refined. Six big booms, eight short bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-booms just like that, ad nauseum. Over and over and over. I got a neighbour who gets about twenty to forty mates round and plays that stuff while they all wig out on speed, from about 8pm til around 4pm the next day. But that's once or twice a year so I live with it. I get invited but I can't stand the noise for more than 2 minutes. It's a windup. Think boy racer and boombox.

Honestly, the shyte they're listening to today, it's just woeful , any decent dance music fan will tell you it should be 4 big booms, a bass drop followed by 4 smaller bo-bo-bo-bo's and intermitant de der's throughout, ffs where has the class gone from dance music these days...... 4 to the floor ya know or atleast a decent 2x2 :rolleyes:

In fairness we've not ascertained the genre here, the OP has by their own admission said they've no idea what style of music it is! Unless we can catagorically state he's playing Acid House or Breakbeat hardcore circa 88-92 then we shouldn't be calling it 'Rave'

For all we know this guy is blaring out some Tiesto muck which quite frankly is disgraceful at any hour!

Are the important facts in this situation not the time of night and the volume of the music, rather than what genre the music actually is?

Not sure I am any the wiser, but thanks anyway.

cloptrop · 13-02-2012 02:28AM

I have no time for dance music . Maybe the old stuff , here comes mongo sounds like its been done like 5000 times. Is there a beginner Dj set out there that you can buy .
Anyway has the music stopped yet? Drill a hole in his wall and just stand there staring through it.

LH Pathe · 13-02-2012 02:29AM

Obvious mongo is obvious

that metronome should not be permitted low frequencies.

Eh... Yeah.. Like that.

I hear ya.
Nah it's not the volume, it's the tempo.
I'd rather more easygoing laidback stuff and you can play that as loud as ya like.

Nope, music is on going, have banged on the floor, but not sure he would have been able to hear anything with the noise.
Maybe I should return the favour one morning at 6am when I am up for work, or better still set the timer on my stereo to start blaring in the wee hours when I'm not home.

You really are in a tricky situation. If you pick up the courage to ask someone who weirds you out to turn down the music, he will probably do the opposite. But I do think that maybe you should just casually ask if you see him.

I know. Fortunately I rarely actually see him.
