Sinful Sunday: Noise complaints
When you play games then there's a good chance that people will have issues that, some just consider you a loser for playing games and others think it makes too much noise. Yes even when you turn down the volume and keep yourself quiet, because some people are just annoying douchebags with too much spare time and then everything seems to annoy them. So how do you deal with noise complaints and are games really that loud?
Neighbours aren't your friends?
That depends, you can have great neighbours and never have issues with them or you can have assholes that make your life a living hell just because they can. Of course there's a lot of in between types of neighbours but usually when they're not your friends things get can get ugly. Unless you have some type of arrangement that they don't bother you and you don't bother them, this doesn't even have to be said but it's sometimes an unwritten rule. Because why make trouble with the neighbours when you can just live in peace next to eachother?
How to deal with noise complaints?
Sometimes you make noise, wether you are fixing up your house or watching a cool movie you sometimes make more noise without realizing that. Then there are also moments where people just don't give a fuck and make a lot of noise and the neighbours will just have to deal with that. You can then be the guy or girl that calls the cops or the one who talks with the neighbours first. You see it doesn't have to be a bad thing, mistakes are made and sometimes people don't realize that they went too far. I mean as a gamer you probably make more noise then you realize, for example when you die in the game and it's complete bullshit (for example you got hit while you're in cover or an enemy spots you while you're hiding). I can imagine that you're not always going to be calm about that, especially if it happens a lot. So first you might want to think about your own actions before you start to complain, because it's better to have a good neighbour then a distant friend!
But what if you have annoying neighbours?
Unfortunately not everyone is nice and some people don't give a shit about what others think or what bothers them. Which often means loud music early in the morning, parties late at night, shouting, annoying kids (I'm talking about the type that can only make noise) and fireworks (yes some people keep fireworks so they can ignite that through the entire year). You can be nice and try to talk with these type of neighbours but there's a good chance that this won't have much effect, the worse case would be is that they'll be even louder just to annoy you. You can try to take legal actions but unfortunately that doesn't have as much effect as you'd hope, but you'd be stronger if you have others from the same neighbourhood that back you up and also have complaints about the same people. Then there's also the immature way of handling it and that means you fight fire with fire, but that would make you another annoying neighbour and I don't think you make a lot of friends that way. Of course you can also try to ignore it but how much can you ignore until you break? I wouldn't recommend that because that can get ugly! You could try to find another place to live, if it's really that bad, but that's not an option for everyone. So if you can't settle things peacefully then you might want to force it with some legal actions. I know this isn't the most ideal way of handling it but trying to adapt to some annoying assholes next to you won't make you happy and if you have a family of your own then it's better if you have some peace and quiet every now and then. You don't have to be friends with your neighbours but it's nice if you get along, if only for that little bit of peace and quiet you could use after a long day.
