What to do with noisy middle eastern neighbors?

ok, so I live in an apartment that is secure access. the same owners own the building next door - that lies east to west along my building. I'm annoyed with our neighbors - that live in the other building and speak arabic (or some middle eastern language). I have been woken up atleast once every two weeks (for the last 6 months) by them getting drunk, talking (well it sounds more like yelling because of the echo), and smoking right below our window (and A/C unit). My husband has told them twice (both around 2 a.m. by opening our window %26amp; saying polietly) to be quiet, that we have work tomorrow (like normal people). Should I write a letter to our apartment managers (who are an older couple %26amp; live in that other building)? or what can I do? - I'm very cranky because I was awake 1/2 hour last night listening to them %26amp; seeing the flash of their camera go off (%26amp; yes I have blackout curtains - we've just made an adjustment so the A/C can be effective). grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

What to do with noisy middle eastern neighbors?
You can do couple of things:





1. One thing you can do is to bring them some sweets as Baklava as a peace offerings. When they get to know them they will make sure that they do not make so much noise.





2. Call Department of Homeland Security





3. Move out





4. Buy them a bottle of Arak or Ouzo
Reply:The fact that you mentioned your noisy neighbors as Middle Eastern makes me think that you are more annoyed with their non-English language than the noise itself.





If that's not the case, then treat them like you would a regular neighbor who happens to be noisy. Talk to them about the noise in the middle of the night. If that doesn't work, talk to management.





Everyone has a right to some peace and quiet.
Reply:If they wont listen to you make a complaint to the Noise Abatement local office. They can get fined. They will get a letter and then after that its court and a fine. You could also phone the police and they would go round.
Reply:yes, write a letter to your landlord expressing their bahavior,s next time they are loud, call the cops. this way they will be more respectful to people at late hours. sometimes people just dont think!
Reply:Talk to your owners.





Their ethnicity is completely irrelevant however. Their behavior is rude, it would not be ok if they were some other race.
Reply:Yes, write a letter to the manager or landlord detailing dates and times as accurately as possible and start keeping a log of noise violations. I'm sure your municipality has a noise ordinance. As previously mentioned, they don't have to be middle eastern to be loud and obnoxious. Also, check your lease agreement for noise and good neighbor clauses. Theirs has the same. Look for another place if it comes to it.
Reply:Yes, write a letter - but their ethnicity is irrelevent here, so don't mention it. It just makes you sound like a racist.
Reply:yes complain,but being middle eastern shouldnt have anything to do with it.they are noisy,thats the problem.
Reply:Ok that sucks for you but middle easterns are not like that! Middle Easterns are smart, make good food, host parties that are the ****! Myspace me I have a folder for the parties I go. I'm Iranian.

Reply:Don't listen to the rest who say something negative just because you mention their ethinicity. They are wrong. Middle Eastern people are reckless-we are at war with them. They are big mouths and don't know when or how to shut-up. You have every right to use their culture here. If it was an Asian, and they do tend to be quite, I bet this wouldn't happen-notice I said *tend, never said they all were, so I am not generaliing! Yes, complain on those slobs!
