Question to musicians...

Have your family ever complain about you practicing? My mom would only tell me to stop playing if it's too late. And my brothers never complained that I was noisy. So I guess I'm quite lucky.

I'm an only child and I only live with my mother, and she never complains, all she cares about is that I practice.

I guess I'm lucky, too.

Only twice when I was playing guitar louder than usual, but that was because I was experimenting with different effects and things.

Once I lost track of time and ended up playing late into the night and my mom asked me to keep it down cause everyone was sleeping. I was like 2 in the morning though. Most of the time they don't care.

I was very fortunate in that I grew up in the country and could play as loud as I wanted and nobody was around to complain. Now that I live in the city... I have to basically play very quietly. :)

there's a lady across the road that gives me evils through my window when i play. nobody else seems to mind, i play at reasonable times.

my neighbours moved out when i started playing drums, lol. We're getting new ones after 5 years of the house being empty... I'm not looking forward to it. :(

Yep. Dad doesn't like me playing drums. He's always working in the downstairs office. Oh well, I'll move out soon enough

The instruments i use are electric and support headphones. :P

My family doesn't really complain about it. Sometimes they tell me I was kinda loud after I'm done playing. I play piano and guitar, and the piano is digital so I can use headphones. If I really needed to, I could use a portable guitar amp which allows headphones too.

I've never had any complaints, unless they're watching a movie or listening to music, which is understandable. I mostly play when I get back from college, while I'm alone. It's not really because I don't want to annoy them so much as I don't want them to annoy me :lol:

When your guitar heroes are Thurston Moore, Lee Ranaldo and Michael Gira, things can get... noisy :P

nope, my dad enjoys the bass, but my neighbors dont, but its kinda of my fault because sometimes i play way to late

yeah only if it's late. otherwise, my mom says she likes when i play. guess that means i'm pretty good 8) :P

They more complain about me not practicing enough. But they get annoyed if I practice too late at night.

I usally dont play my euphonium loud. So they dont complain much.

My room is far from theirs so usually not. I used to get complaints when I was an amateur and played too loudly. Now I actually get compliments.

My mom always tells me to put the sound on my amp down. That's it pretty much.

If my dad ever complained about the noise he'd be a hypocrite. And my mom's probably used to it by now. So no, they don't complain.

They usually just tell me to shut my door, although I've gotten into the habbit of playing only accoustic when anyone else is home.
