[ Friends ] Open Question : Neighbour thinks we were having a go at them?
Our new neighbor installed 2 large air conditioning units right beside our main living area and kitchen. They pump them on and off during the day and then always before they go to bed. I can handle the day part, but when we are trying to relax at night it is really hard. We have told them they are really loud, and they said they will not run them much, but their unit seems to have acquired a loud vibration over time and the noise is unbelievable. Tonight my husband approached them about putting a sound box over them or mounting them higher on the wall. The wife was there and said that she doesn’t hear them and that we must have a different tolerance level to noise. She said she has children and needs to put them on (we don’t have kids). I was really offended at her excuse and her defence, loking for reasons why they should do nothing about it. They put them in cheaply without consulting us, unlike our neighbours on the other side who were so nice and discussed it with us first. Our units are underr the house and disturb nobody. What would you do? The units are the right distance away but the noise is getting worse.
