Neighbours have no grounds to complain if you don't play music after 2300.

You live somewhere with party wall you have to expect a bit of noise. Music is better than a barking dogs or someone's screaming children.

I had neighbours once who were always fighting. I mean chucking crockery about and screaming at the top of their lungs. Fine by me, they can hardly complain about my music when they make that much racket themselves. Never felt guilty about blasting it out there.

One place I lives there were four of us in there all working at the same company. One youth liked to crank up Pink Floyd and play along on his guitar.

The neighbour would come round with his boxer dog to complain. He looked exactly like the boxer dog, just standing on his hind legs. None of the others would answer the door to him, it was always me who had to try and placate him.
