It looks like some decent headphones might be the answer, either that of continue to just play Aphex Twin Avril 14th on replay. There's one glimmer of hope, she has her house up for sale so hopefully she'll sell it soon and I'll get some fellow noisy neighbours who like playing their tunes loud but have the consideration to turn it off at a reasonable hour :)

the human nature is sometimes incomprehensible ,,,,,,,,,,,, my first flat with the missus and the neibour came down one night , very very angry , he wasnt wanting tae say too much incase the thing escalated intae a barny ,,, the next day i went up and said tae him , how long has this been geting on your tits (tbh , my missus said tae me after it , what fucking music , and i stand by her judgement ) ,, he said , a while ,, ,,,,, here man , see the first/second time it got on your tits you should have said , rather than it getting on your tits that long that you had tae come down tae me angry and shit
IF YOU WANT A PICTURE OF THE FUTURE, IMAGINE A BOOT STAMPING ON A HUMAN FACE ---FOREVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
20 years ago I used to run the odd club night an put raves on, I cringe when I look back at what I put my neighbours through with a custom made club capacity 'turbo' sound system full whack in a terraced house. what a c'unt.
Would never do that now and have been on the receiving end of noise from neighbours and it is very wearing
Been through lots of this before....even had a letter from the council regarding noise pollution and possible prosecution....it was my flat mate who was playing his music loud and all this was happening whilst I was at work.
simple solution is buy a good set of headphones and don't be so selfish.

i was going to post a thread about this but im looking for some practical advice.
I live in a flat in Edinburgh on the third floor. Neighbours above me are okay, dont tend to be too bad. occasionally hear them at it but its kind of expected in a flat.
My neigbours below are 3 hench as fuck Northen Irish 'Rugby Lads'. they go out pretty much every single night and get baked the others. proper knobs who walk past you in the corridor and shy into the corner to avoid you. but when they are out on a night out (ive seen them), they totally large it - intentionally bumping into smaller people to scare them and start shouting stuff like 'FUCKING WATCH IT'. i think the general term for them is bullies. and i despise the cunts.
anyhow, as you can imagine their music taste is appauling and their 'sound systems' mainly consists of an over size subwoofer. this causes great annoyance to my flatmate and i as it actually makes our floor shake and keeps us up at all hours.
We have been down and told them to turn it down a good few times. they appologise straight away and run back into thier flat as quick as they can to turn it down. im not a hard man or anything, i generally think they have never been confronted before by anyone due to their massive arms and bullying attitudes. normally the noise is kept down for about 10-15 before its back again.
Ive been left with a few options; keep going down to tell them off with the same results, threaten them, start playing my own music (annoying other neighbours), pull some kind of prank on them like sticking glue in their lock, actually fight them (which id probably get battered) or tell the coppers/council.
the most sensible would be the later, but the only people that could issue a complaint would be from us as they live above a shop which is closed at music time. i dont really want to be branded a grass or whatever, and i genuinely dont think a letter from the council would make them stop.
has anyone else been in this position before and could offer some advice? sorry for the life story!
Only sensible option is to move but as there are no women involved get a load of mates get masked up kick their door in, batter them and trash everything. Job done.

trouble is were will it stop... i ended up on the front lawn with my nextdoor after i told them to keep it down when they were having a party pulled one of them in the cold light of day hands around his throat and the big lump who was a guest 19 stone job melted like fuck when i stopped the car a few weeks later and pulled him they have been ok since (2 years back now) but it could have gone wrong
vandalisms for kids knock in the day time and tell them how you feel and are contacting the council if they keep it up squirt a tin of CS through the letter box and watch them running round crying

Agreed. My old housemate was a bit of a nightmare for our neighbours, used to whack UKG tracks on at about 2am. Luckily I was on the ground floor and he was in the attic but all it took was one letter from the council for him to turn it down. nice guy but weed/alcohol clouded his judgement far too often.
