Oh, that sounds really frustrating. I would probably feel the same way. You could try using a noise meter app on your phone to check how loud the music actually is around the house. It will give you a rough idea in decibels. If you want something more accurate, there are affordable sound level meters you can get online.

Something like the Extech 407730 Digital Sound Level Meter, Trotec SL400 or even a simple Cadrim Digital Sound Level Meter would work great. They’re easy to use and can help you see if the volume is reasonable. It might also help your family feel more confident that you’re not being too loud and if the neighbours keep complaining, at least you’ll have some proof that you’ve been respectful because that's what I will do for the sake of my kids to avoid having issues with my neighbours.
