Hardly had I thought I had decided in favor of "plants instead of a fence," when I go outside and there’s music in the garden again. I think since we talked the other day, the bass has decreased, but their overall volume is still quite high for my taste. As long as we stay in the living room today, the annoyance is actually manageable, but now I also have a terrace and a table and would just like to sit outside in the afternoon when the weather is as nice as it is today. But I don’t want to be blasted with music while doing so. It’s gotten to the point that, like today, I’d rather stay inside the house in bright sunshine than listen to country music in the garden. :/ I just don’t know what to do. Somehow I have to solve this. I can’t forbid them from listening to music in their garden. But unfortunately, that always means we hear the same music in our garden. And I would rather have peace and quiet. If a fence doesn’t help—what would help? As a thought experiment, ignoring costs (maybe I’ll win the lottery)? I could also buy a few square meters of stone and try to build a wall along the boundary (of course with proper distance). That should reduce noise, right?
