surround sound in an apartment!?

9 years ago

I would never have a subwoofer and surround sound system in an apartment solely out of COURTESY for my neighbors. The ONLY time I ever play loud music is when I know all of my neighbors are not home. My new neighbors above me are apparently into video games and play late into the night with a surround sound system. My third night here and I got NO sleep listening to to explosions, gunfire and bass riffs all night. Too pissed off to go knocking on their door I was able to dig up a pair of ear plugs but then i was afraid I wouldn't hear my alarm go off for work!!!!!!! Why would anyone be so careless??? Does anyone think of other people anymore or are they all just out for themselves!?!?

Your not alone, I thought I had inconsiderate neighbors above me,but the surround sound beats my idiots and if you say something it only makes it worse on you, I've tried that and all I did was hurt myself. Oh, and my building manager is useless.

Why do they have no respect for their neighbors? Because their ill mannered, self indulgent twits.

At one point I hooked my TV up through the stereo and used headphones being considerate of my neighbors (because my mommy didn't tell me I was the most important person on the planet). What I found amazing was everything I was missing at normal volume levels through the TV speakers.
