Getting to know your neighbors can help you see things from their perspective.

This way, the person will feel connected with you.
Theyll know where you live and how to reach you.
It can also be useful to familiarize yourself with neighborhood rules.
Communities sometimes have guidelines that it’s possible for you to reference.
A particular neighborhood may have an ordinance for noise after certain hours or parking rules.
If thats the case, you could point out those guidelines as part of your conversation, Swann notes.
If your concerns continue to be ignored, it might be time to start documenting the disturbances.
Keep a record of dates and times when the noise occurs, or use your phone to record it.
When all attempts to deal with the situation fail, escalating further might be the only option.
However, proceed with caution: bringing in a third party can almost guarantee tension with neighbors.
Be cordial towards themshow them exactly how you want to coexist, Swann says.
When you see them later on, they may be upsetbut say hello.
Show neighborly kindness towards one another until things soften.
And if they dont, Swann adds, continue to do the right thing.
Keep depositing cordial behavior towards that person and, eventually, you will get it back.
