Salam Aleikum.

In the States, what is the time past which music cannot be played loudly if you live in an apartment complex?
(I'm WA-state).

>_<

as salaamu alaikum,

if it's disturbing you, then the time of day is irrelevant. you can complain to the management and tell them to handle it.

I think the cut off is 10 pm but, like was posted above, the time is irrelevent if its really loud.

Try talking to the neighbors kindly first though. Sometimes homes just have really thin walls. In my apartment here, we hear EVERYHING going on next door (and our neighbor is a drummer...so....)

10pm in our complex. Try talking to the neighbors first, then talk to the apartment manager, and when all else fails you can call the police to break up extra noisy parties.

Its funny cuz in my building there's 4 apartments, three of them have muslims in them. The one that doesn't is the trouble maker and actually I wanted to talk to them in person, but the guy in that apartment has a criminal record so it might be safer-well actually the apartment manager was contacted by someone in our building regarding their noise. I also told them that it was noisy but I've heard music being played past midnight...I need sleep. I don't get it...it seems like there's no regard for other people sometimes. I hate that. One time, they brought their musician buddies and decided to have a mini-concert right by my door..at that point I had it, and asked them to take it inside.

I totally get that and its completely rude. My neighbors are pretty good because even though on the weekends they will have a party, they are always quiet past 10. My other neighbor who is the drummer will usually start drumming super loud in his garage around 10 in the morning. As long as its after im awake, I dont really mind. I also dont mind because, to be honest, hes a very good drummer. hahaha. If he totally sucked I might mind a little more But hes always playing drums along with 80s hair band cds so....I cut him some slack.

I am living in a flat on the middle floor of a mid rise block. we get road noise as we are on a main road but its not really that bad as we have double glazing installed and have learnt to live with it, however a couple of months ago a new resident moved into the flat below mine. for 2 months I have had to put up with slamming doors (front and internal doors, cupboard doors and draws etc) on a daily basis, and singing at the loudest possible level, children hanging out of the windows shouting to their friends the other side of the main road, hammering and drilling etc... this noise happens every day between the hours of 6am and 11pm.

I am at a loss at what I can do, I suffer with a nervous disorder, stress, anxiety and depression and the noise situation is making my condition worse.

I have spoken to my landlord and have been advised by them that the tenant below me has learning difficulties and has a carer attend the flat twice weekly, so it cant be helped, and there is nothing they can do.

coming from a family with mental illness I am aware of the strains that people with disability go through to live a normal life however, surely if someone is knowingly going to make that much noise they shouldn't be housed in a block of flats on a middle floor, through consideration for the other residents.

In addition to the noise there is someone in the block of flats smoking cannabis, every weekend the smell comes through the vent in our bathroom, my husband and I both suffer with asthma and have to have our extra inhalers guaranteed every weekend due to the strong smell. Again we have spoken to our landlord and without proof of who it is they cannot do anything.
