Or, as she is doing tonight (and the past few nights), she is with a bunch of women on her lanai, and they are all talking, laughing, screaming, howling to the point I can't go on our lanai. We can hear them in the street, in our attic, in our bedroom -- everywhere. Last night it was well past eleven PM (I went to bed with earplugs).

Any Ideas?

Sometimes I find the way the houses are situated to other houses it tends to amplify talking. Just saying. Does your neighbor know How loud she is?
