Muse over this one ....

                        One of the rules of an apartment complex states

                                            NO LOUD MUSIC

                                    

Think for a moment how vague and ambiguous that rule is as written.  What, exactly, is even meant by "loud music"?

Is it music being played at a high volume, or a style of music that's loud by nature?

For those of you old enough to remember the "renaissance period of the home stereo" (circa the '70s into the early '80s) you'll recall how the recording level often differed from one record to another.

For example:  One might have, on hand, a Jim Croce album and an album by the group Boston

...and notice the Jim Croce album was recorded at a high input level, thus putting out a high volume level when played on one's stereo

...while the Boston album was dubbed at a lower input level when transcribed from the studio tapes to the pressing platter, thus putting out a lower volume level when played on the same stereo

...yet common sense dictates that, if one were to hear Jim Croce performing live, then afterwards Boston performing live, obviously in person Boston would be the louder of the two performers.
