Does anyone know the law about noise/quiet hours in New Haven? I dont understand why my neighbors who lives above me chooses to wash 2am every morning. The vibrating, jerking and noise from the washing machine is getting to me. Its like their washer is very close to our room and most nights I have to sleep in the couch in the living room. My husband don't mind it and doesn't seems bothered but its driving me nuts.

You just admitted you’re the only one in your household disturbed by it. Quiet enjoyment is something you take up with your landlord regarding what you prefer.

My previous downstairs neighbor and I once got into it because on a Saturday at 3PM, she knocked on my door to ask me to tell my 5 year old and her friend to stop playing dance dance revolution because her baby was sleep.
