A Japanese man has been arrested and had 40 guitars seized after reportedly giving his neighbors insomnia from years of high-volume playing.
The Japan Times reports that Kyoto resident Kazunori Yokoi, 61, has been abusing the volume controls of his amplifiers and CD player for the past seven years. Three neighbors, in their 60s and 80s, are said to have suffered from sleep deprivation. A fourth has reportedly developed tinnitus from the guitarist’s decibel-shattering antics.
