Producers with rentals: How do you avoid noise complaints?

When i was living in apartments, i just followed the sound ordinance laws. I could be asloud as i wanted to until 10:00pm than i had to shutup. Honestly i shock the crap out of my neighbors but only had a complaint from one guy and he was just kind of looking to yell at ppl for no reason.

I keep my volumes down for the most part, good for ears and neighbour-relations. I maintain dialogue and see if I bother anyone, if I do I bring it down. It's useful for me as well. Can always listen in earphones if there's a crisis. (Not saying its working tho lol :c)

1) Kill your neighbours. This will work until someone notices them missing and you'll eventually get new ones or end up in prison. So...

2) Kill everyone in the world.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!.

But to answer OP It's headphones from 11, which is the usual noise complaint time.
Thankfully I got it easy as neighbors work nights (house is on the end)

Found a house right off the road I commute on. 4 bd 2 bth with no HOA (

) for $1800 per month. I'm going to need to grab some future roommates and jump on this deal! Since neighbors are all in seperated houses the only thing I would have to worry about now is the friends i'll be living with.

Lol After a year of moving next door to me, my neighbours, finally wrote a me a letter to say how frustrated they are with my excessive noise and they were thinking of moving if it didn't stop, quote from the letter " the walls vibrate so much it feels like the house is moving" lol So now i'm using headphones as much as possible and keeping the monitors relatively quiet during mixdown. Then during weekdays when they go work i crank it a bit for mixdowns.

I always go with headphones after 11. Thing is, the only time I got complaints was when I played some music on my stereo on a quite low volume(it doesn't even have a sub). Nobody has ever complained when I play electric bass loud as shit, or when I've played stuff on my real speakers.
Is this because my neighbors are mysterious or does anyone have some kind of explanation to why this would happen?

Was there a bunch of F'bombs when you was listening ot stereo? caught the wrong set of ears hearing somehting they didnt agree with? My mom was like that when i was at home lol loudness was not the issue with her.... content was.

Didn't think of that... no I don't remember what it was, but it could've been death metal or something haha, you could be right.

I feel sorry for yuse guys who don't live in a house. I lived in ghetto apt for most my life.. couldn't imaging trying to make music in the apt. without headphones.. now i have a house and a basement studio, and it sounds great, can play as loud as I want and no neighbors even hear it..,. it's acoustically treated. Maybe one day yall can have a studio in your house.

I'm pretty content with the setup I have now. Basement studio where it doesn't make a difference if I call it quits at 10pm or 3am. And it turns out I might be stuck with it until I can land the IT job I've been looking into. Which production wise it's fine, but I'm 21 coming up on 22 in a few months so I'm trying to get out of here and start the next phase of my life. The problem is while I'm making enough money where I can afford a place with a friend, I completely forgot my company is out-sourcing us come September. I may not have a job after they're finished with this
