AngryBMW Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Be happy you don't live in Powell! Most of my neighbors hate us! Too many cars taking all the parking spots in our cul de sac, several units are too loud ie Marcs Cark etc. We worked it out though - we JUST DON'T TALK TO ONE ANOTHER, WAVE OR ANYTHING. Seriously we have tried to be good neighbors, but just could never get to common ground ----- we've had issues with dogs, actually you name it, I've probably dealt with it in one form or another. Best you can do = continue attempting to be a good neighbor, but remember you live there too. If someone can't take ya as a neighbor, no worries, they'll move - It's funny because it's true. Luckily, now we have cool neighbors to both sides...it's just the ones across the street and a little further down... -Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billiumss Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 They are probably the stupid azz parents that are SO quite in their own house and never make any noise around their kid. Doctors and other professional people say to just do your thing and go on with your life, they (babies) will get use to the noise. When I was tuning a 99 Camaro SS with a 383 and big 240+ cam last week, I took my 4 year old son for a ride and he fell asleep while I was cruising around! The car had true duals that dumped under the car. Who ever says that you can't make any noise around babies and kids are full of it, life is full of noises, live with it....

I know if i was tired i'd fall asleep anywhere. just wait till this guy's kid goes to college, that'll be a rude awakening.

Nitrousbird Posted October 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Best you can do = continue attempting to be a good neighbor, but remember you live there too. If someone can't take ya as a neighbor, no worries, they'll move - That's true. Besides, they rent that house anyway, but have been for years. I own my house (well, the bank really does), so I guess that means I outrank them. I'm just parking on the street in front of my house. That's adding a good amount of distance from their house. If that doesn't work, then they need to feed the kid some booze before bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron_ Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 don't know the details of your joint...but... if there's another car in your driveway, park on the other side of it put that car between yours and the problem house - help reflect some of the noise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest powers Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Go over and tell you truely understand the situation and you are willing towork with them to solve it. You have to drive the mustang to work and there is something that could be done to quiet it down. You have spent the money on other things and that if they are willing to buy the catted h pipe you will put it on. Other than that you can think of nothing else to do. Their response will let you know if they are truely wanting to resolve the issue or if they are whiners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron_ Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 calling them whiners is a bit premature i'd complain too, if i was woken up daily at 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Maker Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 calling them whiners is a bit premature i'd complain too, if i was woken up daily at 7 And if I were him and it were you being woken up at 7am by a very slightly louder than stock 5.0 mustang I'd call you a whiner too. You could call me immature all you want but you'd be the one getting woken up at 7am because you sleep too light. It's the fact that it's his child he is concerned about that really matters.

Billiumss Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Ever since we built our house over 6 years ago, the airplanes fly right over top of us. At first we 'thought" it was loud, but we got use to it really quick, on the inside of the house you can barely hear them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Exactly right Bill. Joe starts the car and pulls off. Total time for the loudness in front of the house is 30 seconds tops. Yeah it wakes you up, but you fall back to sleep. Thats life. The neighbor is using the kid as a cop out. I wish I could complain about the goddam lawncrew running around with leafblowers at 8am at our apartment. Joe makes an effort by parking farther away, thats more than enough.

baron_ Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 eh, depends making a 'good faith effort' isn't always enough There's several statutes in ohio that you would technically be violating with your muffler. Technically, the modification in any way of a stock muffler to make the car louder is a minor misdemeanor which is punishable by a fine (however, i doubt they'd be mean enough to file an action against you) but if push came to shove...you'd have to oblige them and no, trouble maker...i wasn't calling you immature however, i would have the right to not be woken up by a slightly modified car at 7 am....

baron_ Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 "Saying I called them whiners" where do i say that? telling a lawyer that he can't read is quite entertaining Haven't been on this site much, but it gives me a headache to read...seems like the smallest comment is attacked such that the original post is quickly obscured Does noone here have anything better to do than pick on the other members? I was merely agreeing with you as the general trend had been that the members here thought of them as whiners, and thought that your post was prudent. hence...me agreeing with your sentiments as to what their motives were maybe i should have said "i think..." so that you wouldn't have read an implied knock on you in the future, i'll try to be more clear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mensan Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 I guess lawyers don't necessarily begin their sentences with capital letters, or end their sentences with any sort of punctuation marks.

martindc1 Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Probably what is waking the baby up is when the engine first starts and it kind of "roars" on its own before it settles back down to idle. Maybe you could try backing up to your garage door when you park so the sound hits that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
