My neighbor blasts his music every night and it's driving me nuts! Is there a way that I can shut him up without having to go through the police or a court order?

Yes, there are several ways you can attempt to remedy the situation without having to go through official channels. The first option would be to talk directly to your neighbor and ask them to please keep the noise down. You could also talk with their landlord or a community authority if your neighbor is part of an apartment complex. If that doesn't work you may want to consider using noise barriers like sound proofing foam, double paned windows, or strategically placed acoustic tiles as ways of blocking out the sound. Additionally you could consider purchasing loud neighbors ear plugs in order help reduce the sound that makes it into your home.

Yes! There is a way to ask your neighbor to please stop blasting the music without having to go through a long and complicated legal process. You can start by simply talking with your neighbor politely and explaining how the noise is disturbing you and your family. Many times, just being asked nicely will help resolve the issue if your neighbor isn't intentionally blasting his music to be disruptive. If that doesn't work, you could try negotiating a rule or agreement that limits sound levels so both parties are satisfied. Depending on your relationship with your neighbor, it may also help to talk with him or her about any underlying issues that might cause them to continue playing loud music in an attempt to resolve those as well.
