Hello and Happy New Year to you all.
Here is the situation: our neighbor just came by to complain that our heat pump is too loud and runs continuously. The outdoor unit of the heat pump is located behind our house. On the property line, the neighbor’s garage is behind the heat pump, and our garage is next to the heat pump, forming a sort of narrow passage or corridor. The neighbor’s house is diagonally across from this setup.
He said he constantly hears a humming noise. What do you think could be done to reduce the noise somewhat?

Just have a friend come over in work clothes, take down the enclosure, tinker around with something, and then leave. That way your neighbor will see it, and afterwards you can ask if it looks better.For heaven’s sake, no, then he will say it has gotten catastrophically worse.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

First, it’s best to assume that the person is genuinely bothered by something and to try to address that issue. One person might be disturbed by dog barking, another by noisy children, or the deep bass from a sound system. I can understand all of this because there are things that bother me too, so I would focus my energy on finding solutions rather than on trivial, overly dramatic reactions.
Usually, a neighbor doesn’t wake up in the morning thinking about what might annoy them about the neighbor that day.
Yes, that does happen, but it’s more of a rare exception.

First, you should simply assume that the person actually perceives something as bothersome, and you should try to address that. One person is disturbed by barking dogs, another by screaming children, or by the muffled bass from a sound system. I can understand all of that since some things bother me as well, so I would focus my energy on solving the problem rather than on trivial, melodramatic assumptions.

YES, that can happen, but it is rather the rare exception. I would agree with that as well, instead of immediately assuming the neighbor is mentally unstable.
