> Have tried the civil route, but it's not working and it's not illegal to be a rude neighbor. If it's loud enough or during certain hours, it definitely is. And even if it isn't illegally loud, you can try and complain anyways. From my experience the police usually don't care about the specifics and side with the complaint maker by default. My high school punk band's practices were shut down way too many times by police, even though we would practice in a closed garage during daylight hours at a legal level. Because even if you're allowed to do it, what else can you do when cops are banging at your door saying you're not? Unless you have a Decibel meter and print-outs of local noise ordinances on hand, the response is generally "Doesn't matter, sounds too loud to me. Turn it off."
