OK, I have a neighbor who has grown completely intolerant of practicing *any* time of the day. She's a shut-in and seems to have some serious emotional problems. I've been completely unable to get her to compromise in some way and she has been nothing but rude with me, from the start. I worked pretty hard (and spent a good deal of money) "soundproofing" the detached garage...but *some* noise is still audible. It's not LOUD, mind you...but if you're outside you can still hear it. It's comparable to someone having their TV up very loud inside of their house and you might hear it as you walk by. I called the city police and apparently, the noise ordinance here is in her favor. If a cop can hear it from the street, at all, I'd get a $100 citation. The house is very close to the street and the garage is directly behind it...of course they'd hear *something*.
Anyhow, I need an alternative. I don't like the idea of buying an electronic kit...that's not an option. A practice pad or practice kit won't cut it either, obviously.
What are some more creative alternatives? I'll pay for rehearsal space but I can't find any. There's an old bomb shelter here that was converted into band rehearsal studios but they're booked up solid and have a 6 mo. waiting list. This much demand tells me that this type of thing is hard to find here.
What about a storage unit? I've heard of people doing this. Anything else I'm not thinking of?
Thanks guys!
