Thread Name: BS: Noise nuisance
Subject: RE: BS: Noise nuisance
I think that 90% of your problem is the noise, and 10% is your anger.

You hate this man, and you are letting that hate prey upon your soul.

But if he's mentally ill, you are simply wasting your energy. Hating him is as useless as hating a rock that fell on you. He's crazy and has no control over the fear and anger that make him do what he does.

Even if he's not actually mentally ill, he may have been abused by others. Abuse, especially of boys, often consists of blows to the head which cause brain damage. Brain damage often results in an angry, antisocial personality. Again, hating him is like hating a rock.

Now, what to do?

I like the idea of reporting a possible drug farm.

Go higher up the chain of authority than a police constable.

Move your daughter's room to another part of the house. He may especially like bugging someone young and female.

Get a pink noise machine or a fan and put it on a timer to mask the suddeness of the radio.

Locate a soundproofing firm and see what they have to offer.

Then, like Piglet, who threw a note in a bottle into the flood, you will know that you have done everything you can to save yourself.
