Police Showed Up At My Door For A Noise Complaint… But It Was My Upstairs Neighbor Blasting Music. They Still Gave Me The Warning.

Location: Oregon

So last night, around midnight, cops knock on my door saying they got a noise complaint. I’m dead asleep, open the door half awake, and they immediately tell me if they get another call they’ll write me a ticket.

Problem is… I wasn’t even playing music. It was my upstairs neighbor, who has a giant speaker system and loves blasting EDM at night. I told the officers this, even pointed at the ceiling because you could literally hear the bass thumping while we were talking. One of them says, “Well the complaint came from the other side, so it must be you.”

I don’t even have speakers. I live alone. I work mornings. I begged them to go upstairs and check, they just said “keep it down” and left.

Now I’m freaking out because if the neighbor keeps doing this, I’m the one who’s going to get fined. Can they just slap me with the ticket without proof it’s actually me? And how do I protect myself from getting stuck with this when it’s not even my noise?
