Oh the propaganda value of Sound of Music I guess.....

Unfortunately, when the music stopped this time, it came to a screeching halt.We spent so much of our time in 2007 - 2009 plugging the leaks in our proverbial dam.

Barking dogs, loud music, slamming doors- we got a phone call.

Every older generation has found issue with the fads, fashion and musical choices of the youth, but this particular fad is somewhat obsene and offensive.

I listen to the radio and have vinyl and cds for any music that I can't hear elsewhere (old blues, minor Scottish folk singers).My foreign language is Spanish and I keep in touch by watching telenovelas on telemundo.Mandarin Chinese?

Most of it was loud music by some DJ from their organization.

Walking, moving things, dropping things, phone vibration, tv, music, etc I hear it all.

Glad you got the message @Matt Hanson , and sorry we didn't see you or @Chris Music at the meetup, @Denise Alberto .

Last two times I was there, the music drowned out everything.

You could also set up loudspeakers outside of the shed and blast Wesley Willis music as loud as it will go.
