I heard this banging on the wall and was afraid someone had been injured!" call on the neighbors. If you go over there expressing (mostly) sincere concern over their wellbeing, that goes over much better than curmudgeonly complaining about the noise. </p> The kicking the wall thing might require a hurried “is everything OK?

Sure, kids are loud sometimes but they also color pictures and bake cookies and give big hugs to people they like. They also usually (in my house, at least :) ) go to bed by 8:00 and--if their parents are decent human beings--will be kept occupied with quiet activities if they are early risers.</p> Don’t be too quick to assume they’re going to be the neighbors from hell.

My threshold for noise level depreciates rapidly by the years. Though I´m sure there´s a certain age where your ears become accustomed and you decide you can handle children, but it only lasts a certain amount of time...then you move into the chasing kids off the lawn phase! </p><br /><br /><p><br /><br /></p> As I’ve gotten older, I’ve gotten way less tolerant of noise from any age-group.

Hahaa totally agree! My threshold for noise level depreciates rapidly by the years. Though I´m sure there´s a certain age where your ears become accustomed and you decide you can handle children, but it only lasts a certain amount of time…then you move into the chasing kids off the lawn phase!
