LoL@ "right to quiet enjoyment".
You might be surprised on that. Those 4 words form the basis of almost all noise ordinances. Out in the country, county noise ordances can vary from non-existent to "I can hear it a 1/4 mile away."
For instance, I rent a house inside of city limits. But the house is zoned R2, and has an upstairs residence. This house was last remodeled in 1928, and is thus, a very old house, and sound travels extremely well. My wife and I can hear the neighbors walking around when our TV is on. And we can especially hear it when the neighbor's little boy is running around and stomping...usually around 5 am, or 12 am, 3 am, etc. We even hear it during the day, but it's a kid. During the day, she tries to put up with it, but in the evening say when we are sitting down to eat at the table, stomping directly above our food gets increasingly irritating. It also doesn't help the last time that we, very nicely and politely, talked to the neighbor about the noise, we got cussed out. Now we just call the local boys to talk to them, that way they can't try to tell anybody we tried to intimidate them or whatever.
Due to all this, I started looking into local ordinances. City noise ordinances usually cite a specific noise db as measured from the road above any ambient noise. But they also mention a right for quiet enjoyment inside your own dwelling. That's not to say that it is a criminal infraction, however, calling the landlord and/or police helps establish a repeated pattern of noise. And that allows a civil suit in court, allowing them to sue for being a public menace.
So, just food for thought before you dismiss that too quickly. That may be what they are trying to do to the OP.
