A couple owned a home with a large backyard in which they hosted raucous parties, with extremely loud music and bright lights. These parties often occurred during weekdays and went until dawn. Despite multiple complaints, the couple continued to host these parties. The couple had the following three neighbors: an elderly woman who was abnormally sensitive to loud noises; a teacher who thought the parties were hilarious, as they reminded him of his fraternity days; and a mother who found the parties highly annoying and disruptive to her and her family but never addressed the issue with the couple. Who would be barred from recovering from the couple in a nuisance action
