I have a neighbor who frequently has something in their apt. that vibrates very loudly.
This often times goes on for hours. I want to be able to let my manager hear the sound. I tried recording it with my Samsung s5, but it's microphone is not much better than 2 cans connected with a string. Unless I can manually boost the sound in the sound file? Any other ideas? Thanks, Andy |

Have you tried talking with him/her? I had the same deal with a cute young thing in a San Diego apartment. Turns out the idiots that delivered her washer/dryer didn't take out the shipping blocks, so the thing transmitted the slightest vibration to the building instead of the isolating springs. I had another neighbor in the hinterlands of North Carolina with a loud Stereo. No amount of reason/pleading was getting through. I finally got a hatchet (Swedish steel and a work of art IMO) and chopped his 200 amp power line. I didn't suffer any recourse but there were a lot of threats from the police and power company - and I did some damage to my favorite axe. (and wear safety glasses!) Plan B: be twice as obnoxious. Stay at a motel. Keep the stereo on or just build a 8 hertz organ pipe to rattle the walls while you are gone. But, trust me, an ounce of palaver and empathy is much better than a lot of vengeance. But, in the last analysis, vengeance works, but you have to have balls and be committed.. I have no intention of vengeance. I am sympathetic with others. I may talk with them or put a note on their door. But I sometimes worry that they may retaliate. Andy |

Unfortunately there are people that take that for weakness and will use it as a license to do as they please. By all means talk it can be that they are just unaware of the problem they are causing. |
