People's reticence to speak with noisy neighbors indicates a lack of mutal respect.

" If I want to play my music, I can. It's my right !"
Is the response they expect and frequently get.

They are afraid that a kindly suggestion to adjust the volume might lead to confrontation as the noisy neighbor labels their complaint impertinent.

What a sad reflection this is on present day society !

How like the Bibilical statement that in theses " critical times hard to deal with , " people in general would be
" lovers of themselves, haughty, fierce,' and headstrong!
{ 2 Timothy 3:14 }

Much depends on the approach the victim takes.
