Noise War
As a nursing student, Reddit user flecka22 knows how important sleep is, which is why she fought fire with fire when her neighbor refused to lower his TV at night.
“My neighbor watches TV at night loudly. I’ve asked nicely for him to lower it (I’m a nursing student, so I need what little sleep I get). Long story short, he wouldn’t lower it, and my apartment complex says it’s not loud enough to be considered a disturbance.
I now play heavy metal music during the day and put the speaker right by the neighbor’s wall, so he’s not able to sleep during the day. The music is a disturbance, but it’s not loud enough for the complex to consider it a disturbance, so they can’t do anything about it.”
