[QUOTE="Joseph Black, post: 216629, member: 15593"] Hello, apologies if this isn't the correct forum for this kind of question. An individual living in my neighborhood has powerful subwoofers in their car and likes to play their music loud as they drive to and from home. On several occasions over the past 6 months, they've been loud enough to rattle the windows in the house as they drive by. They play their music loudly at all hours of day, recently as late/early as 3am, 6am, 11pm, and midnight. This is an almost daily occurrence. Several people, myself included, have spoken with them and asked them to stop with no real change. I am in touch with the police and their landlord about local noise ordinances, but progress has been slow on that front. My issue is that I can hear the thump thump of the car driving past, often a minute or two prior to the car arriving adjacent to my property, but trying to record with my phone has yielded less than optimal results in documenting the nuisance nature of the noise. My searches for ways of documenting low frequencies led me to an unrelated thread on this forum about measurement microphones. [B]For documenting/recording low frequency nuisance noise, would a measurement microphone be my best choice?[/B] Would an affordable/entry-level model be capable of capturing the low frequencies? I'm not sure what stats I should be prioritizing. Hoping to spend less than 200 dollars, not sure how realistic that price point is (maybe used equipment? I don't think I need ultra-calibrated, I just need a decent approximation of the thump thump). Thank you for your time reading and any pointers you're willing to provide. [/QUOTE]
