Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ Beyond Human white noise

any good white noise machines, CDs, or mp3s?

The walls of my dorm room are really thin, and unfortunately my neighbor next door blares his music at all hours. Ive asked him if he minds turning it down etc. But i still need something to mask the sound. I have a white noise machine, but is anything really very effective at dealing with high volume noise that is basically right next to you?

TK! Long time, no see! How are things going?

As to your problem, I am incredibly distracted by noise! I just can't work with it. I think you need to address the source of the problem somehow, rather than try masking it. You could soundproff your room a bit, I suppose, but will that help? Egg boxes!

Noise cancelling headphones.

Creative visualisation that trains you to use the noise ad a way of getting work done.

Of course there is reasonable hours... ask them to use headphones after certain hours. There is probably something in the dorms acceptable behaviour policy that can help.

If the humm of an old airconditioner or fan isn't loud enough to cancel out the noise then they are plainly playing the music too loud.

Then there is fight fire with fire.. Play your own music loud enough to cover his music. At least then you choose the selection of music you listen to.

Hiya this is more off a joke.. than something that you should do... Mr Base Ball Bat will fix the problem... if you have something to play music on.. go and get some really a sound effects cd with a bady crying on it put it on repete ..... now play this pump it up.. and go and have a few hours out with your friends...

LOL

Reminds me of the German couple who put on a Rooster Crowing every 10 minutes from 2am till about 8am. While they went on Holidays. The police had to break in and turn of the stereo and the couple have been charged with creating a
nuisance. They don't know this yet they were still on holidays when they were charged.

Well, they say laughter is the best medicine, and you two have just had me literally laughing off my seat! Baby crying is a stroke of genius! Rooster too!

Here's another one for people you don't like. Buy a nice, large fresh fish and freeze it. When people you don't like go away for a two-week vacation, especially in Summer, wrap the frozen fish in brown paper and post it to their address. It will start to thaw on its way through the mail but shouldn't be a nuisence. However, a fish rotting on someone's door mat for a week or two is not exactly a pleasant experience!

Right, now let's get back to the learning and spiritual stuff. I think I might have some karma to pay off just for suggesting the fish thing...

hey inchiki, how have you been man? You made any new discoveries with language learning? Hopefully this summer may allow me an oppurtunity to really try out dan lee dimke's immersion protocol

Also, almost forgot, i did address the source of the problem, and it was handled. No more noise.
