Hello everyone My neighbors bought a second had soft tub. Since they have turned it on, I cannot live in my house. The noise is astounding. It's a low pitched humming vibrating noise. I can hear it in every room of my house, over my TV. It's loud. It's 24 hours. The noise never abates. I can hear it on the other side of the street as well. It has to be bothering other people. It has given me an unrelenting headache. They have it on a cement pad, and have that thick white sheet insulation under the soft tub and the motor. It's about 10 feet from the corner of my house. There is no place else for them to put it due to the layout of their yard. What can they do to make the noise stop, so that I can live in my home again? We will need a solution, as it gets very much below freezing here in the winters, so not having it on wont be an option. I am willing to split the costs of something if it's reasonable. I do not want them to have to not have their soft tub because of me.

When my concrete pad was poured for my hot tub, they poured it with a slight slope away from the house for water drainage. Will this cause issues with my spa? The spa was delivered and hooked up yesterday and I filled it last night. I've found that on the 7' hot tub, just looking at the top jets, that once my water hits the top of the jet on the high side, it's about 1/2" higher on the low side. Looking at this water height difference leads me to believe that my slope is .07" per foot. At worst, it may be .14" per foot. This of course is also hoping that the jets are the same height on the tub. Thoughts? If I need to level it out, are there shims that can be placed under it that are stable enough? I was thinking that if I'm a 1/2" low, I could toss a sheet of plywood under the box on the low end, but I want to avoid stressing out the shell. I should also mention that there was a hot tub on this concrete pad prior to us owning the house.
