Living in CT, what are laws pertaining to neighbors, that play loud music all day long, and musical instruments all hours of the night, to the point where we can't hear the T.V. and the floor is vibrating. This has been a feud since he moved in. Cops were involved before, but nothing came about. Just, "stay out of his way and stay out of his way". "No Contact" rule. Anyway, just wondering if there's anything I can do before lawyers and such get involved.

Hi,
Now, do you live in an apartment? If so, contact the apartment manager.
Is this in a single dwelling home? And they are right next door to you? If so, call the Sheriff.
Best of luck.

There are certain noise bylaws. Check online for information relating to your area.

Example, where I live, you can't make any excessive noise after 11pm at night. Example, no playing music that can be heard on the street.

During the day, the restrictions are a lot less, but at night there are distubing the pease type laws everywhere fairly well.

If you live in city limits call the police department, if you live in county call the sheriff office.

Also you may be directed to go to court and file charges directly, but you would need evidence ( video taping with sound)

If the house is a retal house, also call the land lord who owns the property.

I assume you live in an apt with the loud guy below you. A shame and I feel your pain. Going to the law or etc is usually not productive as I have found .

If you know a techie, geek, tweek or what ever ask for some help. If you don't know one they make great friends so find one.

Fight fire with fire. You want noise ? I'll give you some noise right back. Have your new friend install a floor mounted tactile transducer.I made one for less the $20. When the bad guys turn up the volume show them what volume is plus about 100 DB of feedback.

When the landlord shows up tell them it's the guys below not me. It's real hard to pinpoint the sound source of the transducer.(sub woofer thingie)

Just my free advice which is worth just what you paid for it.

I have the same problem.Neighbor's wife passed away in Jan. He now has 6 people living there (they give him their ssr checks to stay there). Constant fighting, running in the streets swearing,fireworks,(damaged my wife's car).The police show up at his house between 7 and 10 times a week, but say they can't do anything. I'ts a shame, the gas and power company show up at our house looking for him, due to delinquint bills. They are afraid to shut off his utilities due to his DEAD WIFE being on oxygen. As I said before, I sympasize with you as it seems like Connecticut is the only state where the "good" people support the "bad"
