Piano noise

[Poppet]

Any idea if there are any rules about piano noise? the offending people have just moved in a couple of weeks ago and are learning the piano and practicing half the day and night but not late around 9.30 at night. While it's not incredibly loud it is a very annoying noise and we have to turn music and TV way up t drown it out. Are there any regulations on such things or do we need to just put up with it?

Cap. 400 Section 5 of the Noise Control Ordinance covers this:

1) Any person who at any time in any domestic premises or public place-

(a) plays or operates any musical or other instrument, including any record or cassette player or radio or television apparatus;
(b) uses any loud-speaker, megaphone, or other device or instrument for magnifying sound;
(c) plays any game or engages in any pastime; or
(d) carries on a trade or business,

the noise of which is a source of annoyance to any person commits an offence.

but your music and TV meant to drown the piano are louder and may subject to a counter complaint

Not something I'm worried about mango on the run, I have written to management (Ha Ha) about the matter and if they wont do something then i guess things stay as it is.
