Haven't you learned to fight fire with fire? I have a cd of bagpipe music. I happen to like bagpipe music.
My last studio was above the "African Ancestor Village". Sunday mornings was a 'men's group". It was nothing more than a 2 hour lecture on the evils of what the white man as done to us and that we need to hate them and are entitled to $$$ and so on. It was nauseating. Complaining that they were a bunch of racist pricks would have done nothing but get me laughed at..
Soooo I would turn the speakers facedown and played bagpipe music LOUD.
Some days it was Merle Haggard, or Khalid singing Rai music.
Then there was the really bad African drumming class. It was horrible.. and they did it till 1am on Wed nights. I got them to move to another part of the 'village away from being directly under me by the same trick.
Speakers face down. Uncle Mufofo or Hossam Ramzy drumming cd's...
So then they moved under my GF's studio.. she thanked me for that profusely and borrowed my bagpipe cd's.
I lived in the 'hood for the better part of 3 yrs. I always found the cars that I swear I could see the windows breathing in and out from the bass booms. Sometimes they would be so loud, with the windows up even. I could hear the car 3 stories up, with the windows closed over my music/tv. Geez
