I live in a little studio flat- just one room. Weekends are very precious for me to get rest. Unfortunately, my room window faces the garden behind the church, I tried to talk to the vicar, but she stated she did not listen to the music out loud. Every weekend she has guests and they dine in the garden with music on. I thought these people are to set an example how not to be so selfish, but… I am waiting for a bad weather when everybody will go with their dinners indoors… I have the same ongoing problem.

He was in to heavy metal... and boy was it heavy! I found that playing baroque music eg Vivaldi, at just a sufficient volume to over-ride the other stuff allowed me to concentrate It is a recognised fact that baroque music blends well with the natural body rhythms, and increases wellbeing.
