Door Slamming! What to do?

Here's the scenario. You have a neighbor that is constantly slamming the door at all hours of the day and night. What kind of person slams the door? Some how, I can go through life without slamming doors, so I expect other people to do the same. However, even though I have asked my neighbor nicely to stop slamming their door, they continue. It's a mother and three boys. I will not escalate the complaint because I would rather be on friendly terms with my neighbors. Kids and teens, they make excellent door slammers.

There was a wide swath of floor that squeaked when you walked across it. So, I started with the loudest squeak. The directions say that the first joist is usually 9 to 10 inches away from the wall. Mine was about 6.5 inches. From the first joist

Soundproofing a fence

Soundproofing a fence, well that would be impossible because, you would have to make a really tall fence to block all the noise. There must be some way, because millions of dollars are spent to build those sound walls along our byways of transportation. So a soundproof fence is out of the question, however you can build yourself a sound control fence. You can wrangle that noise to a tolerable level. The fence will have to be tall, at least 8 feet taller than the offending noise.
