More Apartment Drama

Dear Kyle,

We have received noise complaints in reference to your apartment.

We have received a complaint that music is excessively loud with heavy metal and bass sometimes up to 2-3am and then again at 8am to 9am.

Please note that the noise policy in your lease states that quiet hours are from 10pm to 8am and any excessive noise at any time is in violation of your lease.

I understand that this was unintentional and appreciate your future efforts to moderate your music.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Management

I'm responding to your letter of alleged noise complaints, and will do so in list format.

1. If I am playing music "again at 8am to 9am", and the "lease states that quiet hours are from 10pm to 8am", there is no problem.  I am following the same legal document as you, and therefore there any such complaint is laughable, as I am abiding by the binding contract between us.


2. "Excessively loud" is very subjective, can this be quantified?  Decibels (dB) are the preferred logarithmic sound measurement scale.


3. You have not provided any dates, which once again leaves these alleged complaints in murky legal territory.  If you recall, I was away for a week this past June, and a noise complaint was filed against me.  And I was 3000 miles away.  There have also been a number of times that I have received the blame due someone else in this regard, thanks in large part to the prejudice of a certain short-tempered female that lives adjacent to me.


4. "Sometimes up to 2-3am"?  I am usually asleep at this time, like most people.  In the future, I would like this dated and quantified for further clarity of any alleged "heavy metal and bass" parties occurring in my apartment that I don't know about.  While I'm sleeping.

Additionally, there is a certain group of residents in the building on the third floor that are considerably louder, and infinitely more destructive, than I have ever been or will be, and yet I have filed no complaints against them.

Please consider that, by order of magnitude comparison, you should address and resolve the pre-existing situations before reprimanding me for vaguely defined, and nonexistent, behaviors.

Sincerely,

Kyle Brady
