A man has revealed how he is constantly berated with noise complaints from his very fussy downstairs neighbours - even when he's being quiet.

Imgur user ChefShwasty, believed to be from the US, shared on the social media site the text messages he's received from the people living below him constantly asking him to be silent every time that their young baby is sleeping.

Although the man has been compliant with their requests he admits that he has now reached the point where he believes that they are being unreasonable.

A man has revealed how he has been berated by his nightmare neighbours with constant noise complaints since March this year

The man, who says he enjoys occasionally practising on his drum kit, shared his story on Imgur where he asked other people for advice about what to do about the problem.

Going by the username ChefShwasty he explained that when moving in to his apartment, he had met with the mother who lived below him, and told her to let him know if he was being too noisy.

He revealed: 'The very next morning, I receive the text. I was chopping onions for a vegetable stew I was making for dinner later that night, and apparently it was too much.'

It read: 'Do you mind holding off drinking for an hour or so? My daughter's sleeping.'

To which he replied: 'Currently chopping vegetables. Sorry. Didn't realise it was that loud.'

The Imgur user who goes by the username ChefShwasty shared the texts he received from his downstairs neighbours in the hope for advice

The texts would often be passive aggressive, such as this one which implied the TV was extremely loud

The man says that he tried to be as compliant as possible about the fact that they had a young baby and would warn them when he was going to play

The musician went on to reveal that his neighbours continued to plague him with messages. However, he tried to keep the peace by complying with their wishes.

Another message reads: 'Lol. Watcha watching? Sounds dramatic ;).'

To which he replied: 'I'm at work. Must be the girlfriend. I can ask her to turn it down if you'd like?'

He continued: 'Texts like these became frequent. I changed my schedule around a lot so I could fit some drum time in.

'Most times, I would even wait for them to leave so that I could drum. I got a lot of these within a minute of starting. My practice dropped to once a week, sometimes not for a few weeks.'

Despite their continuous requests he would always try and keep the noise down when asked

He even found himself receiving messages from his neighbours when he was out of the house

To begin with the messages remained quite sweet natured if a little annoying

One message read: 'Shoot! We just got home and she had fallen asleep in the car. She's napping now. Do you mind holding off a little longer?'

The Imgur user replied: 'Say no more. I'm quiet.'

It got to the stage when he would continue to receive texts when he wasn't even at home with his neighbours messaging him complaining when his girlfriend was watching the television.

He admits that he would tiptoe round his neighbours in order to avoid any more complaints from them.

He added: 'I played once a week, but ONLY when they were gone. I would stop when I saw them come home.

However, as time went on his downstairs neighbours became less and less polite

It got to the point where their requests became quite demanding and rude towards him

Eventually the Imgur user admits that he became less understanding, instead choosing to stand his ground

'I would even alter my lunch breaks at work so that I could come home when they were gone and get a few minutes in.'

However, despite his courteous attitude he soon received a note from the management of his apartments.

It read: 'Due to the noise being created by your drum kit we have to please ask that you no longer play due to it impeding the peaceful living of your neighbours.'

Despite changing his drumming schedule completely his neighbours continued to complain

Eventually the long suffering drummer was told by his management that he couldn't play his instrment any more

The Imgur user goes on to explain that he has now cut out any practice of drumming but he still receives noise complaints.

He continued: 'I don't know what they're doing. I can't afford to move.

'Psychotic neighbors ask my complacency in lowering my volume, which I do for months until I'm near-silent, and now it looks like they're trying to get us evicted.'

He ceased practice all together but he continued to receive 'whiny' messages from them

Following his admission many Imgur users came forward with advice.

User picklesmcboots338 said: 'Start randomly screaming in the middle of the night and claim your drum kit is an outlet for your night terrors.'

User jonthemonk pointed out: 'A lot of people don't realise you are under no obligation to actually answer texts, phone calls or the door. Ignore everything!'

One member even suggested that the man ought to approach the police about his neighbours.
