People on this sub give the most unhinged and often times potentially criminal, not just illegal, advice, but like in many scenarios, a lot of peiple will suddenly draw the line when and where it is convenient.

I am in a similar situation and even live on the 4th floor. Windows closed shut with great isolation, noise cancelling headphones and yet unless I blast music and risk ruining my hearing it will not be enough.

Just like in my anecdotal experience the same likely applies here. The people down voting or virtue signalling about le next generations will mostly be parents. And guess what the primary reason for them being fine with the noise, but then lose their shit about any noises even outside their quiet hours?

Because every kid you hwar screaming outside is the equivalent of at least one adult mindlessly doomscrolling tiktok or on a bench somewhere talking to other parents.

This creates undisciplined kids who will later become those mobs you see in the UK for example, that gather and storm a store by the dozens, at best causing a disturbance and at worse shoplifting and destroying everything in their wake.

The argument that "oh it's just how kids play" is invalid. It's bad or even absent parenting. None of the kids I grew up with caused a disturbance when we were out playing, from primary school all the way into highschool football.

But tell off parents for still letting their kids scream even during quiet hours after they left their kids out in the sun and 35+ celsius weather screaming all day long already and ofc none of them will ever admit they are shit at parenting, even less likely to do so around orher parents.

Eventually you won't even need an ULPT, OP, the parents eould rather therr offspring run around screaming on concrete and every so often you will hear a fall and crying. Eventually they will stop letting kids run around injuring themselves in apartment buildings' parking lots and actially take them to a park for once.

Rant over.

If you find solutions let me know. Personally I start blasting music with highly obscene lyrics and leave the window open. I haven't been able to get my hands on a high pitched acoustic device yet, but I imagine hooking one up to an amp like a megaphone could work, but something to better direct the sound could work better.

Not a whole lot else comes to mind. You can hope one of the kids has an older brother that smokes and he starts stealing and distributing the cigs to his mates, you will have a massive ban on playing outside soon enough. Sadly though in this day and age they will probably pe popping pills before their absent minded tik tok scrolling brain rotted parents even notice.
