Hello fellow expats,
Many people move to Mexico and experience the noise ordinance which is completely out of control (at least our experience). My wife (Mexican) and I lived in 3 cities and 4 different residential areas in Mexico and experienced the out-of-control noise issues in each residential areas.
Here is some of the list of our experience:
1. Every weekend there are at least a party or two with loud music until 3 or 4 AM. Those people think they have rights to do so and don't care about their neighbors.
2. Don't live close to a "Casa Club" (if you live in a private residence) where people host parties until 3 or 4 AM. It is a nightmare to live next to or in front of the Casa Club. You won't be able to sleep every weekend.
3. HOA has no power (and don't care about your problem). So we complained to HOA. HOA couldn't do anything legally.
4. Police has power but wouldn't do anything. We called the local police more than a few times but haven't seen a single patrol car.
5. Renting or buying a home is kind of gamble in Mexico. If you hit a jackpot (loud and disrespectful neighbors), your life will be miserable with fighting noises.
What is your experience about the noise ordinance in Mexico? How do you deal with it?
We love Mexico in general but concerned about the general security like kidnapping, homicides (25000+ in 2017), fraud, corruptions, etc. It is sad but is time for us to leave Mexico this year.
