I don't know if it qualifies as misophonia but I have a new neighbor that moved in above my apartment and every weekend night they have been hosting parties between 8pm-12am. It's not the general party noise that gets to me, it's the loud bass from the music they play (electronic or hip-hop) that is periodic and has a predictable pattern that causes me drives me nuts. The odd foot stomping, yelling, cheering, etc.. are fine and are to be expected in a crowded city... I'm not exactly sure how to best deal with this but I'm almost at the point of moving out and breaking my lease. I have no idea how their neighbors on the same floor can deal with it considering it sounds more than twice as loud when in their floor hallway. On the bright side, I guess I can consider myself lucky in that none of the other triggers in the article like chewing seem to have any effect on me. EDIT: in case it matters: jurisdiction is NYC

>>in case it matters: jurisdiction is NYC This matters because noise codes are not uniform across the country. NYC's noise code contains general prohibitions[1] that specifically try to limit noise above 7dB from ambient baselines between the hours of 10pm to 7am. You mentioned that the parties occur within this time frame which would/should qualify for repeated noise complaints to NYC 311[2]. Now, whether repeated 311 submissions will actually result in any action is a totally different question, but at least you'll (hopefully) have a written record of the submissions that might be useful, someday.

  Thanks for the info and was intrigued by the code published under the readthedocs!
