This is a normal occurrence, and I’m at my wits end. I just spent another 2 hours trying to get my baby back to sleep. It can be 1, 2, 3, or 4 am and some idiot is trying to recreate some nameless rendition via his whiny throttle. Additionally, cars with varying lack of mufflers rev and race across Rainbow Bridge. There have been nights some of the motorcyclists will even use the empty parking lot beside us to do donuts and tricks while other riders sit and encourage them.
I am so close to storming out there myself and talking to them. I fantasize over what I can say to them that would try to evoke the most shame. These aren’t your classic bosozoku, but rather seem to be bored kids that can afford expensive toys.
The local police do nothing after numerous complaints from local residents, save put one temporary sign up asking for motorcyclists to be quiet. There are signs with a drawing of a sleeping child on it on Rainbow Bridge just behind our apartment building too.
Outside of moving I’m not sure what else to do. We play white noise, use thicker curtains, have a mobile that plays soothing songs, etc. it’s been five months of this. I realize not much else can be done, I’m just a sleep deprived mother venting this out into the ether.
