So, my neighbors dog wouldn't shut up. I live in an townhouse so we share a wall. I knocked on their door (they always seemed like a nice couple) and asked them to please stop their barking dog. "City ordinance says we don't have to be quiet until 10 p.m. and he isn't bothering us"

I left, instead of explaining to him that a disturbing the peace charge can happen before 10 p.m.

I then downloaded sound bytes of a lion roar, tiger roar and fighting alley cats. Then, I showed him what a $6,000 sound system with 2,200 watts sounds like through a sheet rock wall with wood framing.
