Well, you could do what I did, which is move into a place right next door to a firestation. The noise from the sirens and air horn is enough to make music seeping through the walls seem like a pleasant welcome. That air horn is probably the worst thing I have ever heard. Why they insist on leaning on it for 20 seconds at a time is beyond me.

And with that said, I've never had one complaint at all from my neighbors. And I do play my music and movies loud on occasion. Mostly at night, of course.
