Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : Context: I live in some townhomes that are independently owned, but many are owned and rented out. We rent and the people next door rent as well (from different landlords). The HOA rules state that no dogs are allowed. We got an exception because I have a ten pound, very well-behaved dog. He barks when someone knocks on the door but other than that I doubt anyone in our neighborhood knows he exists. It’s important though that we actually have permission to have a dog. We didn’t sneak him past anyone. Most of the neighbors do have dogs. It isn’t a well kept secret, but it doesn’t bother us. 

The neighbors directly next door, though, are starting to be a problem. They have two big breed dogs in a ting apartment. They only let them out on to a tiny patio. It’s the kind of dog we want- but refuse to get yet because they deserve (and need)  a massive yard. When the owners aren’t home the dogs whine / groan all day. It’s a sad sound that makes my dog pace. For hours a day. When they come home they put the dogs upstairs and begin band practice. 

Band practice is another issue. For a townhome with thin walls I don’t know why they’ve decided to practice here every night. It’s gotten louder as time goes on. At first, we were just like “well they pay to live here too”. But then it started going later and later and getting louder and louder. To the point where we can’t watch tv because we can’t hear it. We’ve asked them to turn it down twice and they’ve been very nice and complied. But I don’t think we should *have* to ask. 

During band practice the dogs are even more worked up, too. They know people are home so they bark to hang out. And then get yelled at to shut up. The yelling makes it even worse. 

I can’t really drown it out. White noise isn’t enough unless I’m wearing headphones. I shouldn’t have to wear those 24/7 in my own home though. 

WIBTA if I turned them in for having dogs, even though I have one? I know it’d result in them violating the lease and being made to move immediately (or sadly giving the dogs up, which I don’t want- but they are not being cared for) while complaining about the music would be a slower process.
