Set speakers facing the neighbor and play some infrasonic sounds, around 5Hz. Make them nauseous. TheBlackAdder May 2018 #8

Most of those speaker manufacturer specs are bullshit, that the company puts out to sell their gear. TheBlackAdder May 2018 #38

Still, requires a lot more amplification at lower frequencies... Dr Hobbitstein May 2018 #87

Almost every subwoofer will reach it with little effort. TheBlackAdder May 2018 #88

I'm not disagreeing with you meadowlander May 2018 #17

Its Chapel Hill. If the Pope was coming through and had a choir someone would complain about noise Lee-Lee May 2018 #20

If you don't open the door, what are the cops to do? MrScorpio May 2018 #11

she didn't have to open the door or provide ID. He would have left Demovictory9 May 2018 #16

I have got that knock many a times for playing music askyagerz May 2018 #13

That's really messed up RainCaster May 2018 #14

So her entire complaint is that someone called about her loud music? Lee-Lee May 2018 #18

Most cops on a noise ordinance call won't have a gun drawn woodsprite May 2018 #19

Gun drawn? Where do you get that from? Lee-Lee May 2018 #23

There were no guns drawn. Tipperary May 2018 #40

Oh no couldn't possibly be racism...just noise really Demsrule86 May 2018 #22

I didn't say it could be, I said it mostly likely wasn't Lee-Lee May 2018 #24

re: "...no more than fifty (50) decibels during the day." discntnt_irny_srcsm May 2018 #68

Yeah, that's an insane noise ordinance as I said before Lee-Lee May 2018 #75

Seems like it was too loud. I had the cops come to my door once for that. Honeycombe8 May 2018 #102

At 3:00 PM? Demsrule86 May 2018 #21

Welcome to Chapel Hill Lee-Lee May 2018 #25

It has been my experience that when cops arrive for a minor complaint with guns drawn it is Demsrule86 May 2018 #28

She got a violation or it was 'reported' whatever...at 3:00 in the afternoon...yeah I worked Demsrule86 May 2018 #81

She didn't get a "violation", that claim is nonsense Lee-Lee May 2018 #83

ID was required so it could be reported...in my book that is a violation. Demsrule86 May 2018 #85

"Your book" is nonsense you are making up Lee-Lee May 2018 #92

Obviously, it is in the system...which is why he demanded her ID. Demsrule86 May 2018 #100

It shows how much you were manipulated by the way the story was presented Lee-Lee May 2018 #37

Oh and to your last part Lee-Lee May 2018 #39

She was told if she had another violation...so she got a violation...and so much passion and anger Demsrule86 May 2018 #73

No, she got a warning Lee-Lee May 2018 #74

No she didn't . He 'reported' the incident...not a warning. Demsrule86 May 2018 #80

A report is not a citation. She got a warning Lee-Lee May 2018 #82

Well, the cop is clearly in the wrong profession if he could tell the race of the person Vinca May 2018 #64

Maybe he did maybe he didn't, but she still got a violation Demsrule86 May 2018 #69

It's unknowable unless you want to go to the police department and audit their files. Vinca May 2018 #70

When they came to my door late at night once.... Honeycombe8 May 2018 #103

Which would be even slightly relevant if the cop had arrived with a drawn gun mythology May 2018 #33

All the comments acting like people would have called the cops just as quickly on Peter Paul & Mary. gollygee May 2018 #79

reality is that people are much less likely to blast PP&M loud enough to make the walls shake. nt TheFrenchRazor May 2018 #96

Assuming at the same volume, people would call on PP&M much less often. nt gollygee May 2018 #97

Would you actually call the police about loud music? dawg day May 2018 #101
