The bass was intrusively loud where I live. Even with the window closed. And on that hot evening, I really wanted the windows open to keep cool. We put the TV on louder than normal to try and drown it out...could still hear and feel the bass. Yes, it was a party, and I want people to enjoy themselves (particularly when it doesn't stop me having a good time too)...but if they'd been, say, 25% quieter, and maybe finished an hour earlier, would they have had less fun? I was pretty tolerant of it, as I'm sure most people were, but then It was also incredibly frustrating to not have anyone to contact about it at the time. And my main concern is, if it happened this time, will it happen again and again? I know we have the usual snarks swimming in these waters waiting to take a bite out of genuine concerns, but I'm very glad to have seen I'm not the only person who thought the noise was a bit out of order.
