    Default Re: Neighbor Complains a Lot About Noise

    Quoted from the Hartford Municipal Code Chapter 23:
    (c)In the absence of a sound level meter, any noise plainly audible pursuant to subsection 23-2(b) constitutes prima facie evidence of a violation of this section
    Which means that the burden is on the defendant to prove that his noise level did not exceed 45db in the neighbor's apartment.

    There are many decibel level charts on the internet and almost all rate conversational speech at 3' at 60 db.

    I do not see 9-10 people as necessarily indicating any particular level of sound. The fact it is more noticeable when it is the only source of sound does not equate to it exceeding the states limits.
    Imagine 9 people in an apartment, likely all in the living room, having several conversations, each speaking louder than normal just to be heard over the din of the other conversations and you can easily exceed 45db if measured in the neighbor's apartment and maybe 70 to 80 in the OP's apartment.

    And just to point something else out, the fact that you consider this harassment is just....mind boggling to me. Are you honestly that ignorant to believe 9 people in a single apartment at 10PM talking, doesn't warrant them to make a complaint? Being a "foreigner" who "doesn't know the rules" is no excuse for completely lacking the common sense of being a decent neighbor.

    Honestly, you should be thanking the complex's security for not calling the police right away.
    Ditto.
