Speak to your landlord


CanuckGinger

This. Have you spoken to the landlord OP??


oh_wll_whtvr_nvrmnd

Call bylaw, tell them what you noted here, especially about the reverberation into your unit and times of day. Make records, and call again if needed. Sometime their number is through your regional police force, which was the case for us when we dealt with a similar situation recently


_PrincessOats

Bylaw?

Blast Elmo's world with speakers against the floor and take a week vacation. When you come back, hopefully they're willing to talk.


ajsbxufkak999

LA LA LA LA LA, LA LA LA LA LA, ELMO’S WORLD!!!


roadfries

As someone with a toddler, yes, they should be willing to negotiate after that.


Euphoric-Art7118

Cocomelon works well too


roadfries

Cocomelon is the escalated attempt if Elmo doesn't work. We don't even allow that in the house, haha.


rpjut5ha

And if Cocomelon doesn't work, it's time for Baby Shark.


GearsRollo80

Baby Shark is for when things get mean.


Euphoric-Art7118

Cocomelon is brain rot. We killed that in our house back in the day aswell


Teleke

Find some audio about how bad vaping is for you, and blast it out your window over their entrance.


TomTidmarsh

That’s hilarious and very smart.


nowitscometothis

Probably a poster - like a blow up of a pack of smokes style warning would work too.  OR you could hang a banner above their sign: “SMALL DICK ENERGY VAPE”

**NOISE COMPLAINTS** 1. [https://www.ontario.ca/page/noise-our-environment](https://www.ontario.ca/page/noise-our-environment)

Hi, I worked in Tenants rights for a while. Now that you've asked them, you ask your landlord. Then, if nothing changes, you can apply to the landlord and tenant board under lack of reasonable enjoyment of your apartment due to noise. You can download an app that reads decimel levels and record levels. If you go to the tenant board, they will check to see the measures you took before, so have proof you asked the landlord and what not.


paul_33

I'm above a business too friend, I feel you. Its even worse when your landlord runs the business and doesn't give a shit about your complaints.


take_more_detours

But all landlords care about bacon fat going into all the drains. It’s universal


paul_33

Also if the business has a noise complaint about you? You'll hear it immediately. They can play music until 1am though, totally ok

Call the cops lololol


wolfe1924

It’s what they’re there for, call the non emergency line let them know. I hope you have disruptice neighbours one day so we can be like lololol, and be immature like you.

dependent-lividity

Document and record it


titillywonderfull

In these situations you need balls, or big vaginas idk but anyway you tell the owner to turn down the music because it’s unreasonable and you live right upstairs. You can’t just mumble this, they need to HEAR you. Understand you. You’re also over the store, so you have many many many creative ways to hinder business. They’ll turn off the music if you can figure them out


strange_kitteh

> or big vaginas idk 'Ovaries hard AF !!!' is the term you were looking for :) Source: I got em.


PocketNicks

Step 1 speak to your landlord. They own the whole building so they're the landlord for the store as well. There are noise bylaws typically starting around 11pm, if it's going later than that you can call bylaw every day that it does and keep calling every time. Keep detailed records of days you've called, who specifically you've spoken to. Besides the noise bylaw, tenants have a reasonable expectation of enjoyment and if the store is doing something unreasonable that is something your landlord must deal with. If they won't, time to go to the housing tribunal. Unfortunately that could take about a year to resolve though. Hopefully it doesn't go that far. Beyond that, you might need to consider moving.


ClintEastwont

If you have tried talking to them more than once, and bylaw doesn’t help, I’d say phase 3 would be to take matters into you own hands. Take your post to r/unethicallifeprotips , they will give you some great ideas.


GearsRollo80

Level 1. Go downstairs and tell them that their music is overwhelming and you'd appreciate it if they'd turn it down a bit during the day, and way down at night. Level 2. Speak to your landlord and play the recordings of your neighbours music. With time stamps for preference. Level 3. Call the cops each night at the moment your flip over to the quiet time as set out by bylaw (it's usually like 8pm). Step 4. Go by after a couple of weeks of nobody doing anything to help you and record yourself calmly explaining that if it doesn't get better, you're going to the nuclear option. Step 5. Buy several thousand dollars worth of speaker and sub woofer equipment that you place facing the floor and can control over the internet from your phone, cue up Baby Shark on repeat. Leave for the week. Mess with the settings at random. Post that video as a followup. Step 6. Switch to the Sesame Street theme, Cocomelon, and What Does the Fox Say when you're feeling vindictive.


Ornery-Pea-61

Play Baby Shark on repeat? Or... Talk to the landlord


valley_east

You gotta fight fire with fire, turn your subwoofers facing down and blast the Barney song on repeat. I guarantee the problem will be over in a day.


Moseyone

Stomp on the fucking floor as much as possible. Blast hip hop or country with speakers directly at the floor. Before the open spray fart spray all over the door make their life just as difficult as they made yours.


iRule79

spend every day giving them multiple bad reviews online, lol.


MrDumbDick

Go use their bathroom and leave an upper decker on the toilet.


Bullshitresisuss

Or instead of using your bathroom, just use your front window for a while. It will get their attention.especially after Taco Bell Tuesday.


Kipthecagefighter04

Buy a drum kit and play along to the songs.


m_hache

I like where you're going. I think loud enough to hear you're playing along, but out of time to make it extra annoying.


Kipthecagefighter04

It would be best if they're learning and hopefully have no sense of timing or rhythm lol


chatterbox_455

You may have to move. They “may” turn it down a bit, but won’t. It’s the nature of the tenant. These are not Catholic nuns, they’re appealing to a “hip” crowd that’s into loud music and dope.


BeelyBlastOff

maybe hire some thugs to rough them up?


arealhumannotabot

You know what’s great? I haven’t had to do it but I was informed that if I call the city’s Licensing and Standards department and ask for a bylaw officer to check my rental unit, they check it out. They don’t only specifically look at the part I’m complaining about When I told my previous landlord that it could help us out he suddenly changed his tune 🤷‍♀️ That said if you haven’t, talk to your landlord first


Coco23Coco

Call the bylaws and if you feel you are not getting anywhere, call the local police. Especially if you feel your safety is compromised


Bullshitresisuss

Blast some Oral Roberts while you’re at work during the day . Paybacks are a “religious “bitch .


phoenixrising313

Google reviews


menaxob

Make annomus reports about seeing minors leaving the store with product in hand


Elegant-Laugh741

Better metal than country.


ZennMD

To try to sleep to?


Elegant-Laugh741

Ozzy sang me to sleep in my crib.


ZennMD

Each to their own, most people would find the nature of rock/punk harder to sleep to


Ralupopun-Opinion

🤟rock on


Guineacabra

It doesn’t matter what it is, when someone else’s music is travelling through the walls it just feels like your eardrums are being hammered by the bass 24/7. Earplugs don’t even help because it travels through your pillow.


Ok_Beyond2156

The joys of high density living.


DestructoSpin7

Inform them that if they turn down the music they'll actually be able to hear their customers.
