Noise complaint [View all]

In the warmer months, my neighbors across the street blast their music from about noon until 1:00AM or later.

It doesn't bother me in daylight, not even up to 11:00 or midnight, but I start to lose patience after that.

With an early appointment tomorrow, I finally got fed up and called a non-emergency noise complaint, stressing to the dispatcher that there was no violence or visible illegal activity.

Dispatcher was cool, said they'd send someone over.

At that moment, after 10+ hours of uninterrupted booming bass, they shut everything down and drove off.

The cop arrived about two minutes later, walked the site and left.

About five minutes later the neighbors returned from what was clearly a bottle run and went back to partying.
