Loud

I was shocked when Yenn knocked my door at around 1:45 a.m.. I woke up at 12:00 a.m. after sleeping for 4 hours, feeling pretty awake, so I started working on stuff. While I am working, I turned on a podcast to entertain myself.

Then at around 1:45 a.m., Yenn knocked my door and told me that the audio was too loud. So I turned off my podcast playback.

A few things:
  • I don't think I played the audio in particularly high volumn, but then, maybe my hearing is getting worse these days.
  • I usually play video with that same kind of volume since I stared living with Yenn, and I asked him several times whether it was too loud. He never complained.
  • He had his door closed and I also had my door closed. I am pretty surprise that the volume of the podcast was loud enough to go through 2 doors.
  • On the other head, the actually distance between his bed and my speaker is like 2 feet away, and they were only separated by a wall. And you know how thick walls are in house made in United States of America.
Yenn and I wasn't talking much these days. I hope he's not getting passive agressive about something that he has problem with about me.

Or maybe it's time to think about getting my own apartment. But living in apartment still doesn't solve my problem since I enjoy working at night so much and those flimsy apartment won't keep me from annoying my neighborhood. Maybe time to buy a house, especially when the price is low during the economic downtime?

Or maybe I should invest some money on a Wireless Bluetooth headset. (See I always think that technology can help solving all kinds of problem.
