Hi,
I might be having a bigger issue with my love for playing the sax. I live in a 5 story high apartment, and there's this this old lady, who apparently can't appreciate someone's need for learning music. So, since I am living a very busy life, I don't get enough time to play the sax, that is, I do, but it's mostly after 7 or 8 PM. And imagine the nerves of some people. Last time, I started playing around 7 pm, and my f* neighbor started whacking into the heat radiator. Of course, it alarms the whole piping system so the whole building hears it. I mean, at 7 PM, it's not even that dark at that time. And the default law here is "no public or private disturbance after 10PM". But, she being an alone bitc*h she actually called the cops. At first they didn't hear anything, but...I opened up my window in hoping it will reduce the noise since my room is pretty small. The cops heard it outside and told me that I should stop or they will file a report. I mean, I know the sax is loud, but it can't be that loud. Her argument was, "I can't hear my soap operas!".
All of the other neighbors had nothing against my playing or noise. Fact, most of them complain about her complaining. So...I am asking if there are any "things" that can reduce the out coming noise of the tenor sax. From this moments I really wish I lived in a house. Anyways, if there's anything, recommendable, or an advice (except killing her). Since her last threat, my practicing really went down. I just don't have enough time to play it in the afternoons.
