My neighbours dog barks constantly, they privately rent, what can I do about the noise?

Many municipalities have ordinances that regulate loud dogs. I would suggest that you check your local laws. It is very possible that your neighbor is in violation. Once you know it is against the law to have the dog barking all the time call the police to report the problem.

My dogs bark. He's only like thiry pounds but he has a set of lungs on him. he is so dramatic when he barks, and he has to bark everytime he gets a chance. He always has to let me know when their are kids playing out side, or some one gets home, etc. I have tons of thow pillows just for this reason. He is scaird of them so i just thow one toward him, and he shuts up.

I had this same problem a few years ago.  I would call the office and they would tell me what I wanted to hear and then do absolutely nothing about it.  I called the police on several occasions, but it would only stop the noise temporarily.  Finally, after a very long night of noise until 4 in the morning, and after calling the office night number, and after the office manager told me she would personally come over anytime night or day and then didn't, I called the office manager the next day and asked for the phone number for the corporate offices of the apartment complex.  This got her scared enough to take action.  She knew this had been an ongoing problem, over a year, and that she had not done a thing about it and if I called the corporate offices, ie her boss, she would be in serious trouble.  The people upstairs from me were gone by the end of the week!  Call the office of your complex, ask for the office manager and tell him or her you want the number to their corporate offices, or whoever is their immediate supervisor.  Don't ask for it, DEMAND IT!  There is no reason you should have to put up with that, you pay rent and live there, too.

WOW- where do YOU live? You should tell his parents that his has happened a bit too often and next time you see him on your property, you'll have him arrested for trespassing. Be sure to call the cops and file a complaint so that when it happens again, they'll know and be ready to arrest him.  It seems they've been warned enough times, and besides, already should know this is extremely inapprop[riate behavior.  As for your poor little pooch, maybe you can try a chastity belt?  LOL- seriouslt though, short of locking up the dog, I'm stumped on that one!

Without going into details over the argument itself, my advice to you is avoid direct confrontation with this person and seek a more civil way to address any issues you may be having with him, this would include up to contacting local authorities over his threats.\n\n  If both of you are under a common landlord, try directing a complaint toward him/her.

I would just keep no contact between you and her, also after 10pm in most cities the area is expected to be quieter than normal. Well the best way to help you out is to document the times and problems with her or the police coming to the apt. state what you are doing and think what she could get on you far as noise wise and/or any compliant. Also do not make any type of trouble or comments to her or your neighbors that could be friends with her or anything that can be used against you.i wish the best of luck

Seriously, call the cops. It's inconsiderate for them to be having parties on a TUESDAY so late and loud. File noise complaint with your leasing office, or perhaps you can go over and talk to them. State that if they don't keep the music down, you will be forced to call the cops. I live in a townhome too so I know that the noise level echos.

I had the same problem. My downstairs neighbour complained constantly about my cat (my cat!) walking around... she had my landlord come and check to make sure I didn't have a large dog in the apt. I became a nervous wreck trying to tiptoe around doing my normal activities and trying to keep my cat from running around too much.  The apartment mgr. knew that it wasn't my fault but there was nothing more she could do about this complaining tenant. Eventually, I just moved out.  \n\nI am sure your normal activities seem loud to them in the apartment below, because many apartments are not solidly-made enough to muffle noise.  That is why I never would live in a ground-floor apt. if noise bothered me (which it doesn't).  You should ask your landlord if you can move into another unit, preferably on the ground floor.  They may accommodate you because they are probably tired of these other people's complaint.  Of course, the one drawback is - if you move into a ground floor apartment, the tenants above may seem noisy to you.  But - you seem sane and probably wouldn't treat anyone above you the way your downstairs neighbours are treating you.  They sound crazy and there is absolutely no dealing with them - get out before the situation escalates... Good luck!

I would not begrudge you that, grab a b-ball bat and swing away.  I used to live in a godforsaken apartment building where the walls were paper-thin, and I could hear EVERYTHING my neighbors did...including having orgies at 4-5 in the morning, several times per week.  Every morning when I took a shower, I could hear them next door taking a dump.  I called the management, I called the police, and nothing happened.  Knocking on the ceiling will alert them to the fact that they are disturbing you, and if they have any decency at all, they will be a little more considerate.  If not, you are dealing with some real a$$holes, and you should ask them as politely but as firmly as possible to please shut it.

Yes, this is very juevenile on their part, and very disturbing. Not at all funny, very pathetic, they must be very unhappy and miserable human beings. I am sorry you are having to deal with them, however, greatful I don't have them as neighbors. I would contact my landlord and also make notes and take photos of their actions. This sounds very anal retentive, however, incase you have to take them to court. You will need the proof for the courts and also for the landlord. This hopefully, will be resolved by the landlord. Good luck to you! The world is full of all kinds and unfortunately you have got some of the most miserable individuals as your neighbors. God bless

get an airhorn: like the type for boats.  whenever they laugh, send a blast their way.  i trained my neighbor's dog (that barked 24/7) that way.  aversion therapy.

Call the police. Tell your neighbor what annoys you the most.

pour some ammonia around they don't like the smell and will associate the smell with your place and stay away. put some in a trail over to neighbours late at night and fed them regular there. make sure it is neighbour you don't like

She may not be aware of how loud it is and how thin the walls are.  I would knock on her door and in a friendly way, tell her the music is too loud and bothering you in your home.  Ask her to turn it down.\n\nIf this doesn't work and you do not get a positive response, call your local police department and ask what ordinances there are on noise and loud music.  If there are laws (be aware that this is going to piss off your neighbor), you can ask the police to speak with her.  Normally, they will warn her the first time.  \n\nIf she turns it up after they leave.... which inconsiderate people do, you can call them again.  If there is an ordinance, there is a consequence, such as a fine.\n\nBest Wishes,\n\nSue

Get a small pocket recorder and tape them for a few months.\n\nKeep meticulous records of when each sound occurred.\n\nEdit the sounds onto a CD that can be played for the council.\n\nDo not retaliate by making noise yourself.\n\nI'm going through the same thing with my new downstairs neighbor.  He loves that salsa music!

I suggest going to your local council offices and complain about the "stench" I'm sure they should be able to do something to stop this from happening.
