You get unreasonable neighbour every where in the world. But more in big city. But typically, definition of too noisy is party beyond reasonable time before the police will interfere. I have never heard any occasions of police interference on normal noise level.
I think it is important to try to be nice but also as important do not let them push you around. When there is a dispute, try to involve the land lord to resolve with other tenant. (some time they don't care, but those are typically poorly managed estate)
I don't think this is a case of US or China or UK or HK. There are always unreasonable neighbour.
note: from that unreasonable neighbour perspective, he would think that he is reasonable and you are unreasonable.作者: viart888 時間: 2012-3-16 09:33 PM

just another case of racism. these racists think our very existence pollutes their environment. they think they own the land, but forget how their ancestors invaded and robbed the indians of their rightful heritage.作者: 高尔特 時間: 2012-4-29 01:25 AM

There are good and bad people everywhere. People take advantage of you, if you do not defense yourself not matter where you are - in China, Hong Kong, Canada, or in your case LA. I am living in NYC for over 10 years, lucky I never have such problem.
My recommendation is to know your rights, in US its governing by law and regulations. In this case the tenant below does not have the rights to complain if the noises are consider normal behaviors and it should not affecting their normal life. Even the police does not able to take action against either one, unless the noise is excessive. Luckily polices that I encountered in NYC are mostly friendly from my experience.作者: jack006 時間: 2012-6-10 03:14 AM

最好的辦法便是以其人之道還以其人之身。他以投訴，你亦以投訴来控告他的不是。我支持樓主的做法。作者: dangfuyinwa 時間: 2012-6-11 07:01 AM

我們在北美生活，本應就要慢慢融入流社會，但當你主動想和他們溝通時，也不需要過分地去討好他們，因為權益是要用努力來換取的，如果我們覺得不公平時，不要因為自己是小數民族，而不敢據理力爭，凡事都要講清講楚，這樣才可以有效保障自己權益！作者: Leon99 時間: 2013-2-15 10:36 AM
美國的投訴文化是國際聞名的，最重要是据理力爭，不可畏縮，沒錯卻認錯是不智之舉。作者: jacinthlin 時間: 2013-2-16 01:42 AM
