I have really lucked out at my apartment when it comes to neighbors. All have been pretty good for the most part.
All you can really do is keep complaining to your landlord.

I'm a noisy neighbour at times but I have this dude that lives on the back to my house. He was very loud and annoying with heavy metal playing during summer so it was hard for us to sit outside and enjoy the summer. It's all good now. This man, you speak of him in the past tense.... You killed him, didn't you...

You should absolutely NOT try to quiet them down by banging on the ceiling or any other form of competing noise. You don't like that they are noisy so how do you think they will take it when you do the same thing to them? All it will do is create grudges and make it difficult to actually solve the problem. Approach them nicely first and ask them if they can hold down the noise or at least limit the loudness between 11 pm and 8 am. Also, peak inside to see what kind of floors they have. Most apartments I've lived in had hardwood floors which are the worst when it comes to noise; they actually seem to amplify it. A lot of noise from pets and "heavy" walkers can be muffled simply by putting carpeting in place and you can suggest this to the landlord instead of just complaining and saying "make it stop". Wall to wall is best but even a few cheap area rugs in high traffic areas can make a big difference. We tried talking to them. Their response was "only adults live here" "we are going to call the police on you because you are bothering us". Ever since we asked them if they could keep it down it got worst. Thats unfortunate. Your only recourse is to work through the landlord now or look for a new place. Its the downside of apartment living. You can't choose your neighbors and you are limited in what actions you can take to resolve problems.

For 8 months or so, there was nobody living above me in the apartment I live in. Now... people have moved in, and they are so annoying!
7 am is a must to get up and start banging around stuff and thumping. Not cool. Especially when my sleep hours are from 4 am - noon.

I had neighbors who were constantly calling the police on each other for stupid stuff such as using their hose, going over in their yard. I used to have neighbors across the street from me who blasted Mariachi music on Saturday nights. My neighbors now have kids who are constantly making noise when they are playing outside. They give me a headache sometimes

That's why when I moved to an apartment I took the top apartment so no one was above us. Sometimes I heard some noise next door but it was not bad. Never really had issue when I lived in an apartment. I decided to buy a house since it became a pain going 4 flights of stairs everyday with a newborn and a 2 year old. I also imagine I would have receive some complaints from neighbors for my kids being noisy

It's not the neighbors but their kids that kill me! I hate them, their wildlings! There's 5 of them, All under 10, All of them have voices like banshees! Thrown out after school not brought in until after 10, non stop squealing & shouting and slamming the door on their custom made wooden Wendy house!
It might not sound it but I like to see people enjoying themselves but these kids are just let loose to run wild and do whatever they please with no sign of parental guidance or boundaries, in and out of everybody's garden wreaking havoc as they go,..
I have 3nephews and a niece, their noise & antics don't bother me at all, their funny, but these neighbor kids are the Devil's Spawn! Rant Over! ^-^

Rant Over! ^-^ Sounds like you could use a massive ice wall to keep them contained. I used to live next to someone who used power tools a lot in his back yard. He was a nice enough guy but his metalwork could be loud at times. He once got his lawnmower out and cut the grass in the dark at 11pm though. His lawn was barely even 3ft by 3ft though so it took like 2 minutes (he had a gigantic shed taking up the whole back yard.) Where I live now is better though. Thanks to double glazing I don't even hear the kids outside most of the time.

I am dealing with noisy neighbors. They come and go at all hours of the night.They talk really loud when they are outside and they do not care what time it is. Last night they were standing in the driveway yelling back and forth at 3 a.m (I get up at 4:30 a.m. to go to work). On the weekends they let there kids run wild and scream as loud as they want. Last saturday they let there kids scream and play with an air horn at 7:00 a.m. I can't wait until i move this summer.

My neighbor situation couldn't be better now with the house I bought last year.
Empty lot on one side, quiet gay couple across from that, Rarely used future retirement home across from me, Quiet retired former hippies beside them, asian family with two of the quietest and well behaved kids ever beside me. Oh and the super hot artist and her husband catty corner from me. It's so quiet here I love it.

It's always calmest before the storm.

I'm sure, with my luck, someone will sell their house to jerks who don't cut their lawn, leave trash everywhere, and blare music at 4 AM. But for now, it's paradise.

There's a woman in the next block with the most revolting smoker's cough I have ever heard. I have to hear it at least 3 times a day, it's ing disgusting. Other than the occasional loud noises from the kid next door, I think my mum's probably the worst neighbor in the building, she can be very inconsiderate. Surprised nobody has complained about her.

seriously why do people move to a first floor apartment and then complain about the noise? You knew what you were getting into.
Anyway you want noisy neighbors try mine, from 3 am to 6 am they light off fire crackers, my other neighbors let their dogs run free and crapall over my lawn. My other neighbor is a crack head and a murderer but because he is so old (88) the authority don't see him as a threat but i know for a fact the first chance he gets he will bring a young child to his place and kill them again just like he did 10 years ago before he went to prison. you think you have it bad try living where i do.

Title says it all. Have you guys experience having noisy neighbors? I've live in the same building for the last 13 years and we had never had a problem until this year when my parents decided to move to the first floor. Right above us is a 2 family sharing the same apartment, everyday since 6-7am i can hear their kid running around the apartment and even the parents STOMP when they walk. The noise continues throughout the entire day with the parents moving furniture everyday, and it gets worst from 3pm-9pm when the kids get back from school ( i would understand if the kids were under 6 years old but the youngest is 9yrs old. The kid jumps, bounces the ball and runs for those hours. I tried talking to the upstairs neighbors but their response was "only adults live here" seriously?! I talked with the owner but she did nothing. I tried the superintendent but he's never home. There's a clause on the contract regarding moving furniture, i tried recording the sounds but had little success. Any ideas in how to deal with this? Getting back at them? ( i would hit the ceiling but that would make it worst) It's really driving me insane. We are seriously considering moving but in the meanwhile there's a newborn baby that can barely sleep with all the noise they make. the way i see it is, its impossible to NOT make noise when you live above somebody. im sure they dont intentionally stomp to make noise, they probably dewey cox walk hard. kids run, thats NEVER going to change. im sure you made noise living above somebody and im assuming you werent watching every step to make sure youre not making noise for your downstairs neighbors. "peace" is different to everybody.
