Had a neighbor like this once. Played Nintendo racing games at 3 am with the volume up to 50: rattled the common wall so badly that a 75 million year old fish fossil, a prized posession, fell off the wall and broke in 3 pieces (I was, ahem, ticked off…). The convo association finally evicted him when the condo association president’s mom who lived in the next building over complained that she could hear him. Yet this touchhole would complain when the lawn service started at 8 am (end of quiet hours) and the noise was disturbing his sleep. Got out of that neighborhood PDQ.
When I moved into my first home people who lived down the street wondered what trouble I was going to make. Now it creeps them out that I don’t have visitors, don’t play loud music, of have loud cars. They even suspected that I would hit on their ‘younger than 18’ daughter when all I said was hello. Apparently habits from suburbia did not translate well in the city.
It’s so true, loud music will affect hearing later in life. Loud music coming through a headset did it for me. But you couldn’t tell me that when I was young.
that’s nothing I live next to the train tracks and sometimes they rattle so hard my head rattles also but when they slam there brakes after running some poor smuck over man what a noise after 33 yrs here I am still not use to it but the rents ok

I haven’t seen speakers that big since the 70s. Every teen I know prefers to blow their ears out with headphones.
