3:25 AM and they are stll as loud…
I need to sleep goddammit! No you bastards are not “fun”.
Edit: 4:43 AM and they are stll going…
Edit 2: 5:30 AM the music is finally off and there are a bunch of drunks screaming on the street…
Hopefully I’ll be able to get some sleep now. But I’m seriously done with Latin America…
Lol.
Also I am drinking.
And I’m severely sleep deprived as some assholes who live 3 bl9cks away decided to have a “party” from 8:00 PM to 5:20 AM…
While I’m not one of the drunks, I thonk that this is close enough…
I assume the police don’t enforce noise limits?
I don’t think those are a thing around here… And they should exit and be enforced…
Colombia was similar, but the police did enforce some pointless limits that were set too high. So it was basically the same thing with extra steps…
Interesting. Here there are limits imposed by local government (but local govt is so regulated by the state they have to follow “model laws” which set standards). Basically 10pm to 7am is quiet time every day except Sunday which is to 8am. They are not really enforced as no council officers work nights and while police can charge with an offence, they really don’t enforce council bylaws.
The State then allows police issue noise abatement directions. That can be imposed at officer discretion. They last 24 hours and of breached the source of the noise can be seized (like stereos etc). Directions can be given at any time. It’s also an offence to breach a police direction.
On top of that, as neighbours I would just go and say something. Pretty sure their would be other neighbours equally pissed off and willing to support me.
I know Germany and similar areas have actual offences for noise abuse. We don’t until after you get a warning and breach it.
Clearly you live in a very different world. I seriously can’t comprehend how you put up with this.
I honestly cannot remember the last time I was annoyed by noise. Maybe 20 years ago when the young fellow next door brought his first car and blared his music at about 2pm. We had a new born and my wife went and ripped him a new one and he stopped…
And that was 2pm in the afternoon…!
I had no idea what the hell this was.. you’re welcome.
Yeah. I would have burnt down their house for that shit. And every neighbour would have agreed it was a lightning strike, ebike battery or something similar!
And if you speak Spanish, you’ll realize that all the songs in that genre are about one night stands, prostitutes, and objectifying women…
I thought about that TBH…
Me neither… I don’t fit culturally in this place, and I’m thinking about moving elsewhere:
Anyways, I’ve managed to sleep for 2 hours and will try to go back to bed.
Ever tried white noise, like one of those big box fans set to high?
I got used to sleeping with it years ago and haven’t had noise or parties prevent a night’s rest since.
Here are some other examples:

Not really a fan of the genre… But I speak Spanish and dgaf about trends.
Thankfully, I managed to sleep all day…
Where are / were you?
The skydeck of the new Star Casino in Brisbane.
I even won $120 on roulette and had the brains to stop.
I assumed it was Brisbane, but I couldn’t work out where the view was from
Clearly not drunk enough
Lol. I changed that rapidly afterwards, fear not!
