Noisy Block Party
 

Just wondering if anyone heard the noisy block party going on last night til after 1 in the morning. We live in a village about a mile south of Sumter Landing, and were kept awake with loud rap music blasting late at night. Apparently it was coming from the apartment complex near Morse and Route 466. The second week in a row this has happened. Neighbors said the police were called, but no resolution.....sleepless in Seattle.

I use a Sound Machine on a night stand next to the bed. Can't hear anything. Try one, you'll no longer be sleepless.

Your south of Sumter landing and you heard it from 466? Long way for noise to travel and be so loud. One loud party apparently

Rappers Lives Matter!

It was extremely loud! Although sound carries pretty well depending on wind direction. And my husband is extremely hard of hearing and it woke him up!

I heard it over my sound machine. I finally put on my ear buds and played white noise. Hope this doesn’t keep happening.

The Police should take care of this but you have to provide an address for them to go to.

Crazy youth, they can stay up past 8:30.

Hope it was not a villager violating the 9 pm curfew

If it was that loud a simple drive by would allow them to know where it is coming from and take appropriate action

The police know EXACTLY where that damn rap music is coming from. Hubby and I drove around last night at 12:30 trying to find the offenders and get an address.We came across a couple of other folks trying to find out where the music was coming from just like we were.

I can tell you the rap music does not come from the apartment complex on 466. It is a block or two south of that apartment complex. How do I know? Hubby and I drove on the road just beyond the apartment complex and came across seven sheriff squad cars in that little church parking lot. We spoke to one of the deputies and he told us that they were "handling it". He said he had seven deputies working on it and were there where the music was coming from. He also explicitly told us (at least three times) "DO NOT GO DOWN THERE!!!". We didn't and left for home.

The sheriff also had told us that all they can do is ask them to turn the volume down. As soon as they leave, the volume goes back up again. These noise pollution offenders don't respect the law and actually defy the law. They know all they get is a slap on the wrist.

Believe it or not, the level of the noise ( and it is NOISE!!!!) is much worse south of LSL (Mallory Square) than it is when you are very close to it as we were last night.

It is nice and peaceful this morning.

Tell the VN news site to investigate. Right up there alley

Noise travels pretty well around these here parts. We live in the Historic District and can hear the noise from the tires on 441 and can clearly hear Mustang Sally being played at Spanish Springs. We are at least a mile inside the main gate.

We have seasonal neighbors who are regular renters who are here for a good time. Hence, we give them a few nights to get the partying out of their system and then when it's nice and bright during the day we provide them with a kind motivational speech about being a good neighbor and all the things you would say to get them to quiet down a little earlier. They are very nice people who accept a kind word and have responded reasonably for three years in a row. The fourth year is coming up next week.
Let's see if their seasonal remembrance kicks in this year.

They are smart. They try to diffuse the conversation with an invitation to their festivities. We decline and ask for peace on earth at 11 PM. It usually comes at about 10 PM.



If this was a one or two-time disruption I would say suck it up buttercup but more than that needs either your personal eyeball-to-eyeball attention or just call the Police. they will handle it for you without the chance of the situation escalating. Good Luck to you.

Sound always travels louder at night. When I was growing up my parents lived on a lake. Below our house (it was sort of on a hill) was a beach. Many nights teens or young adults would come and swim and sew shenanigans. This was before "air" so windows were open and sleeping residents might be bothered. Water even helps send the noise. I think back then police might have come and broken up the crowd. At least then there wasn't "rap music"!!

Seems like their is not much the police can do other than ask them to tone it down.
