There might be loud wailing or screams coming from the apartment upstairs, but you don't know that the drunken neighbor is beating his wife with a rolling pin again. It's not really any of your business, and they're always fighting, and the man is scary, besides.

Not even to the kids you see going over there sometimes. It's easier and safer to shut the door, be quiet, and turn up the TV.
