Well, I wouldn't worry about that kind of stuff. If the police show up, just entertain it. I guarantee you the police don't want to be there either. If you are rude to them, they will take their frustration out on you. Again, from my experiences and seeing this happen to other people, most cops will actually sit and joke around with you about how stupid these people are.
About three years ago, I was living with 2 other roomates, and we all had a girlfriend and our own set of friends. Needless to say, our front door was like the revolving door of a downtown NYC building. Different people in and out all day. Someone in our apartment complex wrote us an extremely rude note basically saying we were living in a "commune" and doing 'weird sex stuff" and that we had no business moving in here. It even had a racist tone to it because myself and one of the roommates are not white. I was pissed and was about to flip the apartment complex over trying to find this coward mofo. My other roommate calmly wrote another note and put it on top of that one, apologizing and saying we will try to be better neighbors, yada yada yada. I was like "WTF?"
Since that time, all of our neighbors thought the world of us, baked us cookies, whathaveyou. They all even got together and helped us narrow down who wrote the note. Needless to say, that person isn't there anymore.
I saved that note for 3 years and kept it on the fridge as a reminder to myself (I'm not sure how effective it was lol) until I just bought a house. I kind of wish I still had it now though.

@ JingleHell: I hear ya man, wish I could do more than say "stupid people are stupid." That neighbor a new tenant? I hated tenants like that and was just itching to get out of those places but had to finish school first to get career going, then wait even long to catch up on bills, THEN move out! Uphill battle as I'm sure you know, but fight on!
EDIT: yeah midday noise complaints aren't things that any apartment manager should ever seriosuly entertain
Yeah, not sure which neighbor, below or beside, but both are new-ish. Newer than us, certainly.
I've made what should have been valid noise complaints before, loud noise at 2 AM on a week night, and had cops say it's not bad enough to do anything. Way I see it, middle of the day, it's probably not worth complaining unless it sounds like the police should be involved.

Dude I got even a better one.
I have a friend from highscool that is now going on a academy for piano and bisernica( don't know the English term)
He isn't from around so he has his own apartment.Basically some dick called the police on him at 2pm in the afternoon for him playing the piano(and hes fucking good it's not like he's a little kid smashing the keys).
I have no idea how brain dead you have to be to do something like that but apparently there are people like that out there.

Retarded thing is, if I'm watching a stream, listening to music, or gaming at a decent volume, at least as loud as the washer can be (lol, since that's fucking hard), nobody bitches.

If you come home dead tired, you should be able to sleep through anything and everything. In the Army, one time I slept through a fire alarm in the barracks. Well, mostly. I woke up at first, slammed into a few walls, unplugged everything from my alarm clock, to my shaver, to the fridge, figured out where the noise was coming from, and went back to bed.

I feel for ya man. I have a neighbor above me in my apartment complex that has 3 kids and all you constantly hear is loud banging on their floor/our roof. Sometimes the banging is soo loud it shakes the light fixture that is hanging. Ive never made a complaint regarding their constant banging, even though it can drown out the T.V among other things. 1 time I bought a new subwoofer for my computer and was testing it out (sub only on half way) in the middle of the afternoon, and within 5minutes that upstairs neighbor came down banging on my door demanding I shut it off because she was trying to read a book. I felt like freaking out on her and calling the landlord etc etc, but then just realized it would probably get me nowhere.

I live on the top floor of my apartment. So far I'm lucky: no noise complaints and no super noisy neighbors.
When I was stationed in Korea (Air Force): my pissmate (we shared a connecting bathroom). Every night I heard that guy "beating it up" for literally a minute each time. It was like clockwork... the same time at every night he had the same girl over. I paid him back one day... when my ex GF came over haha. He was jealous when he saw her...

Ah yes, the joys of adjoining bathrooms in the bricks. I remember this one time, I had met this chick, and we locked the other room out of the shower literally the entire time between PT and 0900 formation one morning. She was a total barracks whore, though. That was back at Hood, the Army's armpit. Or possibly taint.

For these types of people I come to no other conclusion other than they must have been dropped on their head 10x too many as a baby and just have lost a significant portion of the knowledge that should be common sense.

Ah, so the majority of people in traffic also make 1PM noise complaints?

Meh, they probably would if there was supposed they could actually hold an individual responsible for it.
Speaking of traffic....
On the way to work today I was stuck on a red at a left turn signal in an intersection for about 10 minutes as a train was passing by where I was going to turn in to. The guard was lowered, the train warning lights were on, etc. I'm unable to go because:
1) my left turn would not turn green as it knew that I wouldn't be able to move forward after crossing the intersection. My light literally stayed red 100% of the time and all other traffic lights in the intersection followed their pattern over and over and over again.
2) even if my light DID turn green for whatever magical reason, I would have been stuck in the intersection if I tried to turn as there was already a pile of 3-4 cars sitting around the corner clusterfucked already.
So I waited. I waited about 10 minutes for the train to pass and the cars around the corner to clear so that I could actually pass through. 5 minutes in, someone in the lineup of dumb fucks behinds me decides that blaring his horn is going to make the train move faster and light turn green. Whether the other dumb fucks behind me are think either honking at me or honking at him is going to change anything, they start honking as well.
The next 5 minutes people proceed to keep honking at me until I can actually go. I was waiting for some idiot to get out of his car and come up to my window to yell at me so I can tell him how much of a stupid cunt he is and point him to the train and light.
It's astounding, really.

That reminds me of a fun one recently, where cops decided to direct traffic during a nasty thunderstorm at an intersection, and stood there, holding back two huge, long lines of backed up traffic, literally trying to wave through cars that weren't coming from another direction at a freeway overpass.

Wow OP, this thread is perfectly relevant to my current life. We got a dog recently, he's honestly one of the most quiet dogs I've ever seen in my life. The only time he barks is when someone walks up the stairs to their apartment. And someone complained to management and told them he barks "ALL DAY" which just about made me snap because it's an outright lie, and I went to management and told them off for putting some threatening legal notice about how they can remove the dog if he becomes a "nuisance." I seriously hate these passive aggressive douche-bags and I'm half tempted to pound on every single one of my neighbors doors to ask them who complained about this dog and tell them off.

Pounding on doors will get you nowhere, and might cause legal troubles. Gives room for people to call the cops and say you're being intimidating or whatever. Just wait for casual opportunities to snark.

Well, after reading this... I should be thankful my neighbours never called on me when I run laundry on weekends near midnight. I personally have no problem with my neighbours either and I'm a rather heavy sleeper so even if they did stupid shit at night I wouldn't hear it.
