72 Hours of Bagpipes - Wellness Check? (4 Viewers)

Alright! He's alive!


Walked around to the front and the siren was being played out of a huge speaker in their backyard pointed towards another house with mine at a 45° angle. Banged on the door over the noise and BOOM THE HUSBAND CAME TO THE DOOR! "Helps him sleep", in the flesh! Big greyish unkempt beard down to his chest.

Took ear plugs out, and asked what I wanted. Said hey I lived in the area and wanted to make sure the siren wasn't an emergency, just checking in. He then reveals the whole plot: the -insert racist term here- behind his house blast rap, so he counters with all kinds of annoying shit. He's tried talking to them and gets laughed at, he's tried cops and they cant do anything (all this is filtered, very colorful language), and he's finally broken.

Took a few steps back at the broken comment but he then says he's sorry it has to be this way but its his way of countering the rap. I don't hear it as much but I definitely hear it some nights.. Just stinks that now we have feuding neighbors, BUT good news everyone is alive. I said I understand that can be frustrating but this is a little crazy. He says sure, but he's feeling a little crazy.

Glad I finally have a face to the music, but I don't like that I have to face the music. I now have feuding neighbors like dueling banjos.

Oh well, smoke if you got em. I'd prefer the bagpipes at this point.

You seem way more patient than I.
Call the cops tell them there is a siren blaring and some kind of confrontation going on but you aren't sure. Need to get authorities to visit a few times, start building a history.
 
Yeah, I think a siren blaring outside nonstop is a step too far. Surely your town has some sort of noise and/or nuisance ordinances that this violates.
 
(The racist language… Well, probably nothing illegal in that, but it’s ugly and unfortunate.)

Did you mention that the loud music and sirens are audible at your place, too, and that it is kind of a problem for neighbors other than his targets?

Several houses have called, nothing done. Savannah seems too busy on weekends to come check out little nuisances. This is if they pick up the nonemergency line at all.

Mentioned the collateral damage and he did say he was sorry. This was the first time I've heard the siren which was especially bad, and he turned it off about an hour after I spoke to him, hoping the siren is done now. He did seem pissed when I first talked to him but just sounded sad at the end. Thats three different neighbors that have called the police for noise complaints on 2 different houses.

You and the neighbors might want to consider filing a written complaint. Possibly to both the police and local code enforcement officer.

Once there is a written record it is sometimes harder to ignore or dismiss, and must be dealt with at least administratively.

Even if it just results in a single letter, call or visit to the house by the ZEO or cops, that might be enough to deter the neighbor.

But you must be a much more patient and tolerant man than me… I’d have gone to war after 24 hours of bagpipes let alone many months!

Ill be sittin at the head of the table like Don Barzini, and the heads of the 5 houses will come for a sit down.

I can picture siren man now: " I will not be the one to break this noise truce....but Im a superstitious man. if anything were to happen to my sleep; if perchance an ambulance were to pass by, or a cookout happens to turn into a rager, then I'm going to blame some of the neighbors in this room. And that I will not forgive."

Cant make this up, the bagpiper/siren guy mowed his lawn at 6:45 in the morning. GOOD. GREAT.

Mowing the lawn again, 7:05am. Sensing a pattern. Doesn't bother us, we're up anyways but the partiers sure aren't!



Believe this is a better strategy than fighting noise with noise, flank them in the early morning hours when their heads hurt.

BUT, strategies aside:

There is no instance of a nation benefitting from prolonged warfare.
