The last 3 places we have lived we have had problems with noisy neighbors.  It is the music penetrating the walls that leaves us climbing the walls.  It started in Santa Barbara where we tried, ever so politely, to ask the neighbor to turn down the music.  Then we had to ask them to turn off the sub woofer.  The guy refused.  The plates continued to rattle off our walls.  We repeatedly asked him to lower the volume and it never was resolved until we moved.  When we moved to Santa Maria, we had some really nice guys living above us that liked to watch movies at high volume.  Not fully recovered from the horrible experience in Santa Barbara, I really wanted to be extra nice to these guys before making my request for a quieter evening.  I made Chocolate Chip Cookies and took Jeff with me to deliver them.  The guys willingly and easily obliged our request.  What single guy could refuse Chocolate Chip Cookies?  This brings us to our current situation.

We occasionally hear our neighbors next door, but not with any frequency and not with annoying beats or rhythms.  Last night at 10:00 I heard Enya blaring through Isaac’s wall, and then again this morning.  While the music is soothing, it is still too loud for my taste.  It is at a level in Isaac’s room that I would be comfortable listening to on my own stereo.   Isaac can sleep well to it being that it is Enya, but that is not the point.  I am trying to figure out what my next peace offering should be before asking for a quieter condo.

This is one of the reasons I am growing tired of condo/apartment living.
