Our neighbors fought a lot. Usually at around 2am and it would go on for about an hour or two. Besides being angry and annoyed, my girlfriend and I were always curious as to what they could possibly be fighting about. I had the idea to record them via a long mic cable stretching down the hallway, strategically hidden behind a few pieces of wood, to their apartment door. My plan was to one day play this from my stereo at a loud volume around 2am. As I later thought this through I realized that this would only disturb my other quiet neighbors and was a fairly selfish act. Anyway, I used a $100 audio-technica stereo mic and recorded it directly into my computer as an .aiff. They seem to be arguing about a stereo and someone not loving the other. It's rather sad. We no longer live in that building so I have no idea what became of them. I hope they are happier now. Enjoy.

Sounds like my neighbors too. These are everybody's neighbors, I hate them, they are not paying us all to listen to their drama and I don't care what becomes of people like this. Great recording.

this is perfect for my short film, i didnt have any dialogue so im using this as a background noise for a woman being separated from her husband and thinking about their old fights before she accepts him back and the abuse gets worse
