Being considerate to my neighbor's noise complaint, but AITA?

Living in close proximity to neighbors can be tricky, especially when you have different schedules and lifestyles. In this situation, a Reddit user shares their frustration with their neighbor who complains about noise despite the user's efforts to be considerate. The user has soundproofed their rumpus room, stopped playing drums after 6pm, and declined hosting friends in the backyard due to noise concerns. However, their neighbor still approached them about the beeping sound of the garage door and asked them to put their car away in the morning instead of late at night. The user declined as they have had break-ins on their street and their car is an enthusiast's vehicle. The situation escalated when the neighbor's car blocked the user's driveway, and the user had it towed. Recently, the neighbor complained about the minimal vibration from the user's drums during lunchtime. Despite the user's efforts to be considerate, the neighbor's complaints persist. But are they in the wrong? Let's find out in the comments and reactions section.

NTA. Neighbors need to adjust, not impose on you. 🙄
