Ear plugs are painful. I find earmuffs made for shooting work well without causing major pain when you sleep.

Are you gonna call the cops for your neighbor playing loud music at 4pm?

Well in my city you can, because the ordinance forbids you from making excessive noise that leaves your property line. So if you can hear your neighbor from your property, you can call the cops on them at any time of day.

Are you gonna call the cops for the groundskeeper mowing the lawn?

In my city there is an exception made for any activity considered necessary for normal life. So lawnmowers, construction crews, garbage trucks, etc... all get a free pass on noise as long as it's kept within certain hours.

I learned real quick in college to never, ever rent an apartment that's a wooden building. It only took 12 months of listening to the fat lardass upstairs creak, creak, creak to his bathroom FLUUUUSH eleven times every night for me to figure this out.

After that I only rented concrete/brick buildings, with cement balconies upstairs so I knew the whole floors were solid.

Can confirm. Live in a 100 year old converted factory building. 12 foot ceilings & 2 foot thick cement floors, ceilings. Don't hear a thing from neighbors.

Well, legally correct and morally correct are not the same thing.

Here if you really wanted to bitch about it about your neighbors, you could. Although, maybe it doesn't count since it's technically the same "property".

Where i live there was an asshole with subwoofers that cost more than his car, that would play rap loud enough to shake an entire street of single family homes.

Just stepping outside risked hearing damage.
