I find it unreasonable to for a young man and woman with a small baby to be yelling an argument and slamming doors at 4:45 many mornings with a baby crying it's head off. This almost daily disturbance of my immediate neighbors is waking everyone up who in turn also yell and slam doors as they make their way out the door for work at various times such as 5:50, 6:00 and 6:30. I've got ear plugs, but it's just so much of a disturbance rattling my brain. I am tired of not getting my sleep where I feel tired, grumpy, and sluggish. It makes me want to go to bed at 7pm which I do many nights. I told my school today I need to move, but they just said, "Oh, that's too bad." Anything they bring up to me in the future? Well you guessed it. "Oh, that's too bad." And then smile and nod.

Scream out your window 야! 입닥쳐! It means: "Hey! Shutup!" 입다물어줄래요. More polite version - be quite. If that doesn't work. Call 119. If your school really ticks you off and you don't plan on renewing, call your school and ask them to call the police for you at 4 am. Bet they stop saying: "Too bad" soon enough. Depends on how angry you are. But try not to do that unless you're really desperate.

I was stuck in a building with idiot foriegners who would make racket until 2 or 3 am. I had to get up at 6:30 am. I was always tired. I eventually changed education offices because they didn't seem to want to do much about my complaints. Maybe you should ask your school for a letter of release.

My neighbor is quite loud. He's the only offender in my building.
He played TV really loudly late at night and had drunken chats with his friends at 6am once or twice a week.

He sitill kinda does these things but turned the TV down after I complained to him several times. He flat out refused to change anything at first . Presumably becuase he didn't believe that his TV was so loud. After the 4th time complaining to him, he finally came in my room and listened to the TV volume from my room. He was shocked that it was so loud. He apologized and i haven't had a problem with the TV since, although his loud drunken conversations of which I can hear eveyr word are still a problem sometimes. But I just suck that up

Go buy an apartment in a quiet neighbor hood.

Summer is coming, and with summer, a pack of losers that hang out on the 1st floor of my building. You see, the 1st floor is a small convenience store whose owner happens to be the landlord's brother, so complaining won't do a thing.

Loserboy and his friends sit on the street all day at plastic picnic tables, smoking, drinking, chatting, and basically wasting their pathetic ajosshi lives away. I was glad for the winter last year. I don't think I've ever been glad for the winter.

Heavens. I wouldn't give your troubles to a monkey on a rock.

American soldiers make much more noise.

Close the door between your kitchen and the room where you sleep. Trust me, you will hear nothing. Unless your ears are much more sensitive than mine.

Back in '98 when I went back home from Korea the first time, I rented an apt and all three of my next door neighbors were partying till 4-5am, but these girls and guys would whoop And holler (rednecks) out on their porch. It was NOT good times that year.

Since the weather warmed, people just can't stop monkeying around all night with whatever it is that goes bump, thump, roll, crash and scream. They are doing some all night work like rearranging furniture, refinishin furniture, or some kind of working on parts crapola right above me. Another neighbor on my side that just gets up so early with a screaming baby and the couple argueing around 4:45 many mornings. Freeking people were quiet when the weather was cold, but now that it's warm, they can't calm the F down to actually get some sleep. I'm getting cranky. Getting woke up every few minutes all night long leaves me painfully exhausted. I suspect I was woken about 100 times last night/early this morning. It was a long night/early morning of clock watching to see if it was time for work ever time I woke up.

I've got a neighbour who practices bass each night directly below my bed. Work starts at 7 am, so it's not an ideal scene. I can sleep through nearly anything, but I have trouble getting to sleep in a noisy setting. A good set of in ear earphones with some quiet music made my problem manageable- perhaps a good set of earplugs would help you.
