or get loud speakers, attach a wave generator and play a 1400hz sawtooth wave at him all day.

If he asks you why you're doing it, tell him it's for relaxation

592214 2007-09-18 07:21:00 Doesn't sound like a Metla answer to me - is it for real?

I used to live in a flat in Wellington. Through the wall I could hear the neighbours screaming and shouting etc. I could hear every word.

I hooked up a microphone to my Foutain 9 track deck. Recorded the whole issue.

Played it back to them on full volume while I went to work.

Really quiet after that.

592216 2007-09-18 08:34:00 Yes your local council noise control is the answer. Worked for me even in the middle of the day.

592217 2007-09-18 14:34:00 You are buggered with the noise control act he can play it resonably loud until 10pm.

wrong.........as far as I'm aware the act now allows you to complain about noise at anytime if it's considered annoying.....

as for your issue.......good luck i dont believe a 'friendly' visit to ask nicely will work......of course he'll be well aware how loud it is he most likely just doesn't give a damn......if he has a meter box outside go there and pull out the main fuse and throw it away......that'll slow down the noise for a while...

592218 2007-09-18 19:26:00 If you intend staying there for a while, go talk to him
If he is uncooperative, go to the landlord
If talking to the landlord does nothing, move (making sure to advise the landlord of your main reason for moving). Landlords hate looking for tenants, no tenant, no money coming in. If one flat keeps going through tenants, he will sort the problem before it becomes too much of a burden on his own pocket

You can complain as much as you want but the noise control act allows for reasonable noise till 10pm. There is absolutely nothing, zero, zilch, zip, bugger all the noise control inspector can do about it. In this case you have to think out of the box and teach this plonker there is going to be a penalty for his actions.
