Question by PleaseHelp!: I need serious help!!! How do you block a neighbor from muting your television?
I have lived in a complex that has NO installation for several years now. A little over a year ago, new loud neighbors have moved in the apartment above me and the couple do NOT sleep regular hours. I NEED 7-8hrs and they sleep about 3hrs EVERY night! I work. They do not. Because there is NO installation between our units. I hear EVERYTHING they do, if my unit is quiet. So I have started sleeping with the TV on since my body became soooo drained trying to deal with lack of sleep and I even started missing work, because I was too tired to go. Since then, I started sleeping with the TV on. I was able to get enough sleep to take care of most of my daily activities, like work for weeks. However, my neighbors HATE that I sleep with it on all night, because they want it quiet when they’re trying to sleep. I’ve tried talking to them politely, then humorously, then yelling at them and banging on my walls etc. They have told me, I just need to learn to deal with it. Well, my way of dealing with it, is trying to block them out with my tv. It’s not blaring out. I keep it on a medium level when sleeping. But they can still hear it.
Anyway, they now have figured out a way to mute my tv at night when I’m sleeping and they still wake me up. Because I snore..lol…yesss, I snore…but not so loud I sound like a train..lol. Anyway, when they hear me stop snoring, they turn the sound back on. This goes on numerous times a night and for weeks now. I am miserable, but can’t afford to sell my unit and move. So can someone…anyone…pleaseeee tell me how to stop them from doing this??? I use a comcast cable box and believe they do too, if that helps. I have also noticed that when I turn my box off and leave the tv on, the picture goes away but the sound remains for a few more seconds before cutting off.
What device to they have and how do I stop them??? I am so very very tired and NEED sleep!!!!
Signed,
Really Miserable

Buy yourself a nice set of headphones that cover your ears, plug into to your cd player or radio, turn the volume where it is comfy, then snooze on. Been there, done that. Neighbors suck.
