As a result, it is <a title=\"tenant rights noise\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/tenant.net\/Rights\/Noise\/noise4.html\" target=\"_blank\">not uncommon<\/a> to encounter the <g class=\"gr_ gr_22 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Punctuation only-ins replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"22\" data-gr-id=\"22\">occasional<\/g> noisy neighbor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have this issue you are not alone, many residents across the mycoop network have this issue and New York City even has an entire <a title=\"noise\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nyc.gov\/html\/dep\/html\/noise\/index.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">noise code<\/a> to try and keep the peace (and quiet).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Call or write 311 to report noise in your building, especially if it&#8217;s ongoing. The city defines non-emergency noise as &#8220;loud music or television, talking, and moving or dragging of furniture,&#8221; but it can also encompass noise from pets, a loud air conditioner, opera singers and <a title=\"noise from neighbor\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www1.nyc.gov\/nyc-resources\/service\/1197\/noise-from-neighbor\" target=\"_blank\">much more<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>311 won&#8217;t contact your landlord about noise complaints in your building, but if you don&#8217;t think he or she will be on your side, another option is to contact your super, building management, owner, or tenant association for help. You can even cut out the middleman of 311 and <a title=\"Tenant Noise Rights\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.tenant.net\/Rights\/Noise\/\" target=\"_blank\">encourage the police to crack down<\/a>. Want to know if you&#8217;re alone in your fight? Post a notice on your mycoop building wall or create a <a title=\"mycoop public discussion\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/mycoop.com\/product\" target=\"_blank\">public discussion<\/a> to see if others in your building are hearing the same thing. To that end, getting more of the community involved ensures that you&#8217;re not fighting the good fight alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, if calling in the big guns at 311 or within your building doesn&#8217;t get the job done the are other solutions. The New York Times reported <a title=\"The sounds of drummers from neighbors\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2011\/04\/19\/nyregion\/the-sounds-of-drummers-handled-gingerly-the-appraisal.html\" target=\"_blank\">one instance<\/a> in which some Fort Greene residents negotiated with their drummer neighbors to keep the volume down.
