most annoying neighbor?

Just wondering if this topic has ever sprung up on the Gon. I have next door to me, most likley the most annoying neighbor I have ever been accustomed to. Almost all day at low volumes "Thank God" he plays some kind of tom tom music almost ritual in nature even at 5:30am. At the moment as I am typing I can hear, it very faint but it is there like dripping water from a faucet. I have yet to hear anything else from him in terms of identifiable music such as we know just the same over and over and over. I was wondering any fellow Goners ever have the displeasure LOL?

I shared a townhouse in DC with a guy who was a "writer" who "worked" from 2am (after the bars closed) until 5:30 (just before I had to get up for work). We lived directly above him and while he was "working" he played what sounded like a continuous loop of some kind of "techo" music--a simple, repetitive, droning beat. Visits to his door in my PJ's elicited no appreciation for our situation. He simply repeated "I'm a writer and I'm working". Never did see his name in print....

Thank you for the suggestion. But the truth is I really don't hear that much it's very very faint. I am afraid to tell him that I hear or that I like the artist he might turn it up thinking I like it. I am going to let it ride for now because the volume is so low, but I just find it so unusual that a person can listen to this over and over and over.

I lived downstairs from a bartender in New York. He would get off at closing (4AM) come home and start partying with his other bar "friends". Turned his music to 11 and danced the morning away. Never finished until about 9 am. I finally gave up asking nicely and would leave my radio on turned to 12 as I went to work at 7:30. Eventually he got the point.

When I lived in my last apartment, a couple of extreme girth moved-in above. It was hard to concentrate on the music when they would tromp-n-stomp up the stairs and even worse when they would have sex(which I don't see how that was possible without some type of marital aid).

Years ago in college I went had a dorm neighbor who was mostly deaf but did have partial hearing (we shared a campus with an excellent school for the deaf, which was otherwise a very rewarding experience). My neighbor was a big fan of Hendrix and cranked it so loud the concrete walls between the rooms would vibrate. Lots of pounding on walls and doors and yelling matches would often ensue (I was not the only one bothered as it would pretty much resonate through the halls of the dorm). Totally ruined Hendrix for me to this day.
