LOL ~ this is a problem I can relate to ~ while I was still on the board for my condo association, we had many complaints about a woman who sang operatic arias ~ she has a beautiful voice, but she sang when she couldn't sleep, usually in the middle of the night ~ when you live in stacks, you share common venting ~ and while our building is very noise-proof, we always tell new owners that if you're gonna have a screaming match with anyone, do NOT have it in the kitchen or bathrooms ~ we didn't ask, and never learned, where she was singing ~ 
~ but she did agree to not sing between the hours of 1000pm and 900am ~ Sooz
Woman suing to quiet operatic neighbors

NEW YORK, Jan. 17 (UPI) -- A New York woman alleges in a lawsuit that a couple living next door to her play their opera music so loud she and her son cannot sleep through the night.
The New York Post said Sunday that Elizabeth Connors filed a Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit against the landlord of the building where the operatic couple resides, alleging the duo's piano playing has been increasing in volume and frequency.
The couple was identified as Carol Kechulius and her husband, Stephen. Kechulius is a pianist who trained at the Julliard School and performed with the New York City Opera.
Stephen Kechulius, 51, insists he and his wife make a point to not bother their neighbors with their in-house practices.
"We're very sensitive about noise," he said. "We don't practice before noon, we don't practice after 9 p.m., we don't even practice more than 75 minutes in a row."
The Post said the couple attempts to lessen the noise from their practices by opening a window and placing a blanket over their piano. Connors offered no comments regarding her suit.
