Unfortunately, no one is immune to or safe from aggravating neighbors, who have the magic power to make the lives of those around them needlessly more difficult.
Forthis redditor, it was her “annoying frat boy” neighbor—who she referred to as Ty—blasting music that got on her nerves. The woman tried talking to her music-lovingneighbor, but he didn’t care much for it, which encouraged the OP to take a different approach with her petty revenge.
Few things are more aggravating on the day-to-day as dealing with troublesome neighbors

Being loud is one of the things people dislike most about their neighbors

The survey found that nearly three-in-four people dislike at least one of their neighbors; probably the one who makes the most noise. However, a similar number of people are actually friends with at least one of their neighbors, which shows that people next door can be a blessing or acurse, and unless you invited all your friends to move into the neighborhood, you can’t really be sure what you’re getting when someone new arrives.
While many people deal with noisy neighbors, not that many of them are eager to report it
Another survey, carried out onlineback in 2020, found that unfortunately, neighbors tend to be the loudest in the evening—a time that, for many people, is dedicated to relaxing and unwinding after a long day. But while 45% of noise-machine-like neighbors tend to be loud in the evenings, nearly one-in-four of them do in the middle of the night, making it arguably even more difficult to live with. (Roughly 20% tend to make noise in the afternoon, and 10% do it in the morning, arguably messing up people’s day before it even starts.)
But what might come as a surprise is that many people tend to suffer in silence (pun intended), with less than half of them complaining about the noise to anyone. For instance, only roughly a third of respondents have contacted their landlord about the problem vs. nearly roughly 47% of those who haven’t.
Similarly, only a small part of people—close to 30%, to be exact—have contacted local officials to make noise complaints, versus the remaining 70% of respondents who have taken no such action. The majority of people haven’t even gotten in touch with the person responsible for the cacophony, though quite a few of them have confronted the latter—55% versus 45%.
Some places are worse than others, when it comes to noisy people or streets
