I just moved into a new apartment complex, and it turns out theres some like generator or something right on the other side of the wall. I guess I never heard it when I checked the place out.
Anyways, I can't sleep at night. You know the buzzing sounds neon signs make? Imagine a stronger one. Since I have good ears from producing and stuff, I can hear the lows, and its like almost a very small but constant low sine bass. It's like a loud beer neon sign with a bass frequency that goes through the walls a bit
Is this going to be damaging to my ears in the long run? It's annoying the hell out of me. I want to go down to the office and see if I can get them to shut it off @ certain hours, or get a discount because this is ridiculous. |

Unless the sound is over a certain amount of decibels, I'd say you're -out-of-luck with getting them to turn it off.
I doubt it will be damaging to your ears unless it's loud (see: decibels, etc.) but it might not be so good for your sanity, lol :p |

| You won't be able to get them to turn it off, it won't damage your hearing, but maybe you can get some low-frequency ear plugs? |

| Get an air conditioner and turn it on during the night (and set the timer to 2 or 3 hours). It should cancel the sound of the generator out while you're trying to fall asleep :) |

Costly to run air-con though. |

| Move! Get another unit in the same building if you can? Where in LA do you live? |

Hence the timer... just 2 to 3 hours shouldn't be much :conf: |

Find and purchase the same modal of generetor then invert the polrarity on your generetor so that you acheve an audial phaze cancellation of the generetor its competing against.
