Should it be law?

[LiiLoSNK]

Yes nobody should be allowed to make noise in their own house.

@Katie N It could be worse, at least it is music! What we get are maniacs with dull drills trying to grind through 18 or more inches of brick with a dull bit (and I'm not altogether sure they know if the drill is actually set correctly to drill *in* to something).

I am used to construction sounds, engine sounds, kids making noise and honking but not music that makes the building shake because of bass and drown any other sounds out.

Noise is one thing, playing music so loud with so much bass that the building shakes and you can't hear anything else is another thing.

Uh, no. Make a noise complaint to the police or your landlord if your neighbors music is too loud. Or you could, you know, ask them to turn it down.

I have, they don't care.

[Dispraise]

What? No. Of course it shouldn't be against the law to listen to music in your own home without headphones.

Please list such places existing in civilised part of world for us all.

Read the OP ? They said they were alone in the house.

Then what makes you think making the music specifically illegal is going to accomplish anything? Looks like your problem is the laws surround this issue but the lack of enforcement.

You are never completely isolated from the surroundings, even in own house.

Call police then lol

What a weird thread

[cuafpr]

If its so high you can hear it in your on home there are likely already noise laws in place. Though sometimes those are weak, for example around where i live not much can be done till 11pm.

[whywhatwhowhenhow]

I guess your neighbours are pissing you off with loud music. If it was me I'd just put up with it if it was just 1 night. It is new years eve afterall. If it more often I'd go have a word with them and tell them to turn it down. If it's often and step one failed, then call the council and report it, keep logs etc. Calling the police doesn't work here. They just tell you it's not there problem lol. Maybe different where you live.

Its a non-starter to say "The OP is lying, so I'm gonna answer a different question!"

I have no idea what you are talking about now.

[Cruor]

wow... a lot of people here have never lived in an apartment, or don't have a job that they have to get up for (Common on MMO Champion)

Yes, it should be against the law to listen to music/TV/make any noise your neighbor can hear. I use a good pair of wireless headphones all the time for my PC and listen to the TV at low-medium volume. I have never had a complaint against me. I have had to threaten people more then once for being too loud in my life. First I ask nicely, then I ask sternly, then its a threat.... depends on the person. Threat of violence worked on one guy, for another guy a few years later I was night shift, he kept making noise during the day. I asked him to stop and he refused, so I just rang his doorbell multiple times a night every night until he couldn't take it and agreed to be quiet if I stopped. Just have a stern threatening presence AND back it up, you can usually get people to stop and do whats right.

[Lochton]

Do you think it should be law to have to use headphones if listening to music instead of blasting on high volume on speakers if you are just alone in your home?

Shouldn't be law but if the music is too loud from your neighbours, file a complaint. People have to be considerate about other people around.

[Daymanmb]

Absurd. There are noise level laws.

[Deleted]

No, it should not be a law.

[Nami]

Unless it's the middle of the night and it's loud enough to bother the neighbours, then no.

[Halicia]

I have no idea what you are talking about now.

The OP said they were alone, your answer is predicated on the assumption that people are never alone.

Those are mutually exclusive.

Alone in their home. Others live around you.

No, they don't.
