I found this advice online, and I thought, it's a nice advice~!
' You should give careful thought to the selection of a place to play your music! Sound proofing be done as a last resort. It can be expensive and time consuming. Commercial locations are best because people go home around 5PM, just when musicians may start to be creative! If playing locally, try to anticipate conflicts. Neighbors who may complain, either next door or even way down the street may cause you lots of grief. Becasue you start playing, go and meet whoever could be a problem and make it clear that you have consideration for them. This advice alone can save you lots of soundproofing dollars! Mentioning that you plan to soundproof if it needs it is a real plus. Give them your phone number to call instead of the police. Once they start complaining, real expensive soundproofing effort may not be enough! A little 'PR' will go a long way!
No neighbors nearly or at all would be the best solution of all!'
