Yikes on bikes! I received another noise complaint tonight, Not for guitar playing though! Seriously, are leaky headphones enough the bleed through the walls? I was watching this live performance when my neighbour banged on the wall. I can't remember which part I was watching when it happened, but I decided to link something special. When The Moffatts cover this gem, it's just magical. ❤️

I think it's the screaming in the audience that sets this apart from the podcasts that I listen to, which are pretty monotone in terms of volume by comparison. You really gotta be careful when living in Japan, and the most innocuous things might bleed through the walls and make your neighbours complain. Fingers crossed that I don't get a formal complaint.

Be careful out there!

It seems that I spoke too soon because I received my first noise complaint about my guitar practise just last night. Immediately after I finished for the night, my neighbour started playing loud music heavy on the guitar riffs. Think AC/DC style. It stopped before I could redownload SoundHound to identify the song, but I got the message loud and clear - no guitar practise after 10:00 pm!

Fingers crossed that I don't get an official complaint, though! Two general noise complaints came in this month because there was a reverberation sound coming through the apartment building, and it couldn't be determined which unit it was coming from. This, I was thankful for because I felt the reverb too. Noise is usually easy enough to deal with by using white noise or noise cancelling headphones, but if you can feel it through the floor and furniture, there's no getting away from it.

This is a bit late, but RIP to Harry Belafonte. I was first introduced to his music through the song, Jamaica Farewell in an elementary school music/choir class. That was one of the songs that stuck with me after all of these years.
