I had the same problem with the people across the road, a pounding "doof doof" right through my house, I didn't really have a problem with it until they decided it would be a good idea to crank it up at 2am one morning. Anyway, one phone call to the police later and I've not heard a single "doof" since. Don't know why the Canadian authorities don't want to act, as it is their job to keep the peace.

Canadian authorities don't care about keeping the peace. They only care about arresting everybody after the peace has gone to hell. Besides, their #1 function is to hand out speeding tickets. That's where the real money is.


How about the EPA?

EPA? What's that? "Environmental Protection Agency"? That's an American agency, not Canadian. And what does that have to do with sound disturbances?


Ummm, I am *trying* to help you. EPA is a fairly generic term used here in Australia as well, have you ever heard of a term called "noise pollution"? As the EPA here deals with that as well, they will even provide the equipment required to measure said noise. I'm sure there is an equivalent government department in Canada.

As far as I know, there is no equivalent in Canada (for noise). The EPA equivalent would probably be the Ministry of the Environment. They deal mostly with pollution.


It wouldn't hurt to call them anyway, there must be someone who can help, perhaps a free legal service?
