4X4:Oga, sorry to say, but your ideas are a bit messed up. So you're saying I deliberately want to tarnish his image on the forum because I mentioned his name and his surname in my post? Don't worry, whatever action I choose to follow in the end, I'd sure come to post a feedback on the thread. Until then, I believe it is in your own interest to passively follow the thread. 5 Likes |

I have a similar experience with a mechanic akwa ibom guy when i was in portharcourt surprisingly the landlord was a young man who love noisemaking and they thought I was jealous , I tried to reason with him but others were not cooperating until i decided and bought a system more louder that can almost pull out the house and I loud it to its peak I did that for only 3 days they all came to beg me and that was the end of that nonsense it's annoying my advice is if you have enough look for a better apartment or take my own way I was younger then 2 Likes |

It is funny how everyone is taking side based on one sided-story. In the past I had neighbors on both sides that put on their generators just about the time I get home from work and only turn it off around 5:30 am which was the time I usually get ready to leave for work. Both neighbors have shops in Yaba and had to sleep in in the morning and watch movies all night. The way the compound was structured the noise and fumes from their gen sets get to me more than any other tenant. Did I go crying to them? Because I knew it wont solve anything moreover I usually get home late and I would rather relax than going to the neighbors to reason with them on how to be humane. What I did was simple, I knew they stay up all nights and sleep in in the morning, I am already used to waking up 5:30 so once it is 6:00 Saturday and Sunday mornings I turn up my sound system until they are forced out of their apartments. When am sure they have left for the shop I turn it down and take a nice nap. Same thing on Sunday. By Sunday nighty they are tired and we all go to bed early no gen all night and by Monday night they start their cycle while I wait till weekend. Another funny thing is that if there is power they cant put on their gen but no matter what I owe them over the weekends. So before we go judging op neighbor we have to be sure that op and others are not in any way the reason the guy is doing what he is doing. |

Sanchez01, what seperates men from women is tact. I'm sensitive too but you learn to avoid conflict, especially with neighbors. I've taken shitt you wouldn't believe but in the end I'm happy that I didn't hit the roof( or call a meeting) because those same neighbors have become my biggest fans( in the house). Tl;dr : Time flies. Y'all will get used to the noise and it'll become background. And if you're feeling particularly egregrious, get very friendly with this guy and he'll be the one to ask "bros, hope my stereo no disturb una. make I reduce am?" 2 Likes 1 Share |

woodcook:You're right, but then again, you're wrong. His apartment is semi-detached from mine. Of all persons in the compound, I only know a particular family, without a Television set and a sound system. Every other person owns one. And truth is, I'm barely at home, save for weekends. Unlike yours, we have no issues with our generating sets, because we unconsciously agreed to take it far away from the ears. I'm talking well over 30 yards from the closest room. And just so you know, his sound is so loud that the day i walked to his apartment to tell him, he couldn't hear me. All he could was try to read my lips. Eventually, he left me on the spot, went inside and turned down the volume of his sound system before coming out again. Without measuring, I'd like to believe his average sound stands at 80dB. I'm talking about someone who steps out while his noise rents the air. My generator could be on on weekends for over twelve hours but you would never hear such coming from my place as I am super conscious. I can't even remember the last time I used mine. So where could I possibly go wrong? 1 Like |

Sanchez01:I had almost same issue. But mine was with a roommate. He doesn't care if I'm asleep or reading. He just puts on his laptop and turn up the volume, watching movies or playing music. Sometimes middle of the night. I tried talking to him but he wouldn't listen. So one day i was fed up. I wanted to sleep and he was watching movie,i asked him to turn it down a little or go to the living room. But this guy told me that i should go to the other room and sleep with the other guys since there's an extra bed. I was like, me and my room? Initially i went but then i thought this madness has to stop. So i returned to the room, brought out my laptop and put a movie, also turned up the volume to max and went out of the room, living the laptop on and running inside... i could feel it, i knew his body was weak from that. When he wanted to sleep, he turned down my volume.. i returned and turned it back up and was laughing loudly and annoyingly.... Anyways. Long story short: after trying to be civil with him to no avail, I resulted to tit for tat. And it has been happily ever after 3 Likes |

If speaking with him doesn't work, and you know there are other neighbours who are disturbed by him, try disturbing them as well. Not with music but with very loud sounds of gunfire from a movie on a quiet night. That would draw everyone's attention to how anyone can be a pain in the asz if they so choose. |

BoboYekini:Apart from Ishilove, who knows me quite well, I think you are just about the third on the thread who understands me. I'm super sensitive and I could sacrifice anything for peace, just that I'm so lost on this. I'm not sure I or other neighbours could get used to this, trust me. The guy in question is a natural life of the party. Sundays are now scary because one could almost think the compound is a club premises. 1 Like |

Morning my brother and sorry for your experience. Well, what you can do is very limited because some neighbour can be satanic, you even said he is a driver. Pls be careful and let the devil be. Pls manage it till your rent expired and look for another place, devil will always be devil.he can not change, who are you to change an habit? Just my advice. God will bless you look for another. Place or manage the situation. |

I know how it feels,believe me I've been in your shoes before. The guy no let me read for my exams,so i solved the puzzle by buying a bigger music system with woofer & all. When ever he turned up his,I never fail to respond in kind. On the third day he came complaining to me about how his ceiling was vibrating whenever i played my gbedu & how his own was being drowned by mine. Bottom line: he begged me for us to reach a compromise. After that day if u pass him domot na only whisper you go hear. Na so me & my compound people take get peace. 3 Likes |

Sanchez01:Yes, you're peace loving, but that love for peace will not help you when it begins to affect your health. This is a shared space and if one person can't respect that then sorry, there won't be peace. Personally I can't abide in a noisy environment because it will make me cranky. I can ignore if is intermittent, but when it's consistent then it's a big problem. You can sacrifice anything for the sake of peace, you say? Then sacrifice your hatred for trouble, for the sake of your peace |

I earlier suggested a legal option after all peaceful moves have failed. However, If i were in your shoes I would have done something more drastic. Shebi he travels and leaves the music blaring? Unknown robbers would have invaded his house and carted everything away before he comes back from his trip with a note advising him to never come back to the house at the risk of his life. |

Just go and buy a grinding machine whenever he is around and playing his music. On your grinding machine and lose the head. After 3 days he will call for settlement. |
