one word:

The rhythm of the music pouring from the house next door would have been acceptable, entertaining even, if it hadn't been the middle of the night. As it was, the beat of the drums and the (trumpet of the horns did nothing but keep her awake.)

This is autobiographical. Our neighbors across the fence in the backyard are often playing loud music or having loud parties. This is not usually something that upsets me, but I do wish they could find a time not quite so close to 3 AM for these get togethers. Ugh.
