JESUS JESUS indeed!
So my neighbor in my new building has fits where she needs to sing Micheal Jackson at the top of her lungs and Me and Mr Jones from her cd player in syndication yelling, "JESUS JESUS" as she is summoning him directly to present himself before her and does not cease until 4:00 am. My walls are thin and it is as if she is performing for me in my own private venue. How fortuitous for me... Since I have something called a job, I need to get rest between 9pm and 5am. Even my dog was restless clicking his nails on the wood floors while making endless anxiety circles during the entire duration of her nightly show. I was ready to move out after just two weeks of moving in, consequences of breaking a lease be damned! The manager of the building claimed that after 5:30 pm all disturbances are to be reported to the police. She did not want to be bothered although I specifically asked if the domicile was quiet during my initial viewing! The tenant is an older black woman and I wanted to spare her the drama. At her age, she doesn't need a yuppie gentrifying her hood to call the cops on her especially considering she has been there for 9 years. Yes, I knocked and kindly asked her to keep it down. But she may be going deaf. Or the walls are simply too thin because I can even hear her on her private phone calls. We are essentially roomates! Either way I hope when I'm at that age, no young punks come around to ruin what's left of my fun. That's when my reasoning lead me to investigate solutions that I could accommodate on my own. Soundproofing paint? Too costly. Eggcrates? Ugly. Apartmenttherapy.com lead me to this device and with such rave reviews I dived in. I have created a wind tunnel where I sleep by placing one at the top of my bed and one at the foot of my bed. Both devices are set on the same fan setting and volume and the wooshing sound is quite calming and blocks out her singing, hand clapping, and praises to her lord and savior completely! Even my dog has taken to sleeping on the bed when he used to prefer the cool wood. After a week it's been such a relief. It knocks me out within minutes and I would recommend it to people with newborns as well because it is soothing and eliminates disturbing city noise completely. I'll be singing Me and Mr. LectroFan in my sweet dreams.
