probably it was a compliment
despite being a musician, I have problems with my upstairs neighbour, because he's a professional drummer and (if it wasn't enough), he produces house music and other electronic "loud" kind of dancing music...
ok when he plays in the afternoon, but sometimes he starts playing a midnight, or even at 1 o' clock. the fun thing is that he obviously has the room deafen, but he plays exactly over my room, and sometimes with the window open, so the soundproof walls are useless... you can clearly hear him playing from the street (he's at the 4th floor), and from a distance...
I wish I had an acoustic player as a neighbour :rofl:
however, my old teacher (an opera singer) used to practice at home, and one day his neighbour asked him to stop and said "could have you played the violin instead?"...
