If you were to receive a noise complaint, what would it be for?

Hypothetically, if you received a noise complaint this week at home from a neighbor, what would it be for? Loud music? Trips to Pound Town? Tuning the M5 Competition at 10pm? Letting that precious home theater flex it's decibels?

Last night I had a handful of people over for the UFC fight and it overflowed into the backyard. The next-door neighbor kindly turned in porch lights on as a reminder. It was 11pm. (great win by Dustin, by the way!)

For those with acres of space...just pretend someone can hear you!

I got a complaint from my neighbors once to the association about me playing music too loud-- On a Friday at 7pm...

Lo and behold, they had a few straight raves the middle of weeknights until 3 AM... you have no idea the type of revenge i got with this one lol... the association literally can't say anything to me anymore.

Cold Start on my M6 at 5:30 in the morning. Tubi Rumore Exhaust and X-Pipe. It's usually good for 2 or 3 car alarms going off. Yes. I'm that neighbor.

Nothing legendary... I just made it known that it appears the rules are very selectively enforced... and if this happens again, my landlord will immediately be notified and I am out of my condo within days as I have a month to month... conveniently enough... the landlord is also part owner / developer of the building and has a massive influence on the association... lol... please remember, the rental market around here is now shattered and losing a tenant to them is an immediate loss of money for at least a few months.

I live in a marginal neighborhood so nobody complains about anything. Like, a couple of weeks ago at 10 am some rando let off four quick gun shots down the street. My neighbor and I stepped out on the balcony and looked around but didn’t see any blood, so went back inside.

I wouldn't because I don't make noise. I would rather a neighbor do or not do just about anything than to be noisy... Noisy neighbors are likely just bad neighbors in general. A bit of noise during reasonable hours and not often, fine. Party gets loud for one hour on a Friday night? Fine. Any instances that are drawn out or recurring, though--not fine.

Cars, I won't complain about. 5:30 is early, though!

Not anymore, but back at the turn of this century I was the guy with a loud as fuck car. I had a 1995 Saleen with a Supercharged 408ci Stroker, long tube headers, and 3" straight pipes back to a Borla muffler. It would shake my townhouse on start up. Kids down the block would get pissed because I used to go out early on the weekends. I got tons of complaints, but I didn't give a fuck.

Nowadays, I probably would have done something to make it a little more quiet.

Even with a suppressor, it's still loud as shit. At least the one on my stepdad's AR-15 is loud. It basically only covers the muzzle flash. It may reduce some noise, but that shit can still be heard from acres away.

Which silencer do you have?

Air compressor kicking on and the lovely sound of a bit enlarging a metal hole. As my side entry garage aims right at my neighbor's living room, I have to imagine it gets pretty loud.

If we decided to get rid of it down the road, I’d just put it at the curb for trash / scavengers. I don’t foresee ever needing to disassemble it.

Agreed, and I would too. However, I think that this does not invalidate my point in general terms.

I never get reported for noise complaints by my neighbors because they think I’m a psycho and are worried about retaliation
