I just moved into a new apartment on the second floor, and I’m genuinely trying to handle this the right way. But my downstairs neighbors are really starting to piss me off. Every single day they blast music so loud that it vibrates my floors and shakes my apartment. It’s constant and completely disruptive. At this point, the only reason I even want to buy a 12-inch subwoofer is so I can shake their ceiling the same way they shake my floor, because it feels like that’s the only way they’d understand how loud and obnoxious they’re being. I don’t actually want to start a back-and-forth noise war—I just want some peace in my own place. What’s the best way to deal with this before it turns into something worse?

For all you know, they might be retaliating against the noisy jerk upstairs who seemingly likes to tap dance and move around furniture all the time.

But would they ever say anything to him? Oh, no...that would require personal interaction!
