My new neighbor has an eightfoot garage door, chain driven. The bottom is a 2 car garage and the top is a deck. The inside of the garage is not insulated and it has exposed beams which carry the weight for the upper deck. Every time it is opened or closed I can hear it in my house, primarily in the SE corner. I spoke to him a number of times. He had a garage repairman over to inspect and it was given a clean bill from an installation and motor (1/2 hp) standpoint. He refuses to have anything done. I have consulted an attorney and for whats it worth, throwing good money to bad is not worth the time or aggravation. Is there something I can do to cushion the noise into my home? Is there some type of contractor that can do something that is not too expensive? The noise is so aggravating it send chills up my spine. Please HELP...........
