Radio noise at 7:00 AM

[peeonme]

This morning at 7 o'clock this strange sound woke me up. It's almost spooky to hear a loud muffled voice thru a wall at that hour. I had to get dressed and go outside and ask my neighbor to kill the noise.
I was polite about it, but I was pissed off. Wtf is wrong with people?

I'm a bit confused. Was he outside warming up his car? Or, was the noise coming from inside his house? Not that either is acceptable, just a blank I'd like filled in to understand the scenario.

Side note; 70 years ago it would have been perfectly fine, maybe even expected, for you to punch him in the nose.

Loud noises carry farther when it is otherwise quit. I noticed that the new double pane windows keep more noise out than the old single pane ones. We still have the single pane windows in our bedrooms and I can hear my neighbor talking in his driveway when he has guests or is on the phone in the drive. I hear him start his car as well. As long as he doesn't raise his voice I consider it part of life. I have spoken to my brother in our driveway in normal tones before 8:00 AM and consider it part of life. Of course if he had the volume turned up he was being inconsiderate.

Noise/sounds travel even farther in the winter when there is little moisture in the air, and there are no leaves on the trees and shrubs to muffle them. Farther yet when the grass is covered by snow or the ground is frozen.

Thank goodness our nearest neighbours are about 500 yards away.

What used to jar me awake was hearing the radio blare at about 4am and then to come downstairs to find that the cat had slept on top of the controls on the kitchen radio and had triggered the alarm setting while cranking up the volume.

On those cold calm winter mornings when the sound of snow crunching beneath my feet echoes off the outbuildings, I can often hear the cows rattling chains and metal gates, and then, the low hum of the milking parlour pumps from a farm about a half mile from my house.

This too shall pass.

I live in a residential area of the city where the houses are 15 feet apart if not closer, driveways in between...there's noise 24/7. I got used to having a fan going during summer and an air purifier going in winter, for white noise. It's rare that I'm disturbed by my noisy neighbors.

This guy was cleaning out his truck with the radio blasting. I don't care for the 'boom, boom bada boom' crap, but I generally wouldn't say anything between 9 am and 10 pm, we all have different tastes in 'music'.

 

[jaysizzles]

The boom boom boom bass ...yes! That you can't cover up. There's one in my neighborhood, late evening in the summertime mostly...the house rattles as he goes by. I can hear him 1/2 mile away and then he has to stop at the corner and wait for traffic. Annoying as all get-out!

Get the shotgun out Pa!

I do the same, and I sleep with earplugs.

At first I thought you meant the radio was making noises on it's own. I had a Philips clock radio that would randomly make a static like noise all on it's own. Even when turned off. I finally figured out it was picking up the noise from the WfFi router.

I have night sweats so i sleep with the fan and tv on so it does a good job keeping the noise away.
