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.

Just tell them to stop having "you know what" so loud.

These are things you should have automatically taken into consideration when you moved into a 1st floor apartment.
I honestly dont know what to tell you in regards to your neighbors. They might be noisy? Maybe you are just extremely sensitive?

They might be noisy? Maybe you are just extremely sensitive? It is a building and according to the contract everyone is entitle to "peace" in their apartment as long as it doesn't disturbs others. I would understand if it was a few hours maybe 2-3 but the entire day is incredible its like animals live there. Extremely sensitive if I was complaining because they dropped a pen or if they accidentally dropped something. But running, jumping, moving furniture everyday throughout the whole day? That would annoy anyone. |

I would tell them to quiet down since you have a new born in the house. Especially if the youngest kid is 9, they should have control over them. But I understand what you mean and it does drive me insane when neighbors are loud as well

I know how you feel man. Ive got neigbours next door and all i hear is thumping and bumping noises and they have a door next to my bedroom that must not shut properly or something because they slam is as hard as they can and it scares the hell out of me when your least expecting it. Some of these wasters just have no respect. Hopefully they move out soon and leave. Sometimes you can let the local council know and they can do something about it, atleast they can where i live in the UK.

Usually you can file a complaint with management and they will address it with the occupants. After several complaints, they can evict them if they wish. They may also allow you to move to a different apartment as an option also. But honestly, outside of speaking to the management, there is not much you can do.

My ideal place to live is in the local gated retirement community. Houses range anywhere from $250k-$500k so they're extremely nice (need to remember/factor in where I live btw) and everyone is old and quiet. Too bad they wont let 30yos live there though.

Every time my neighbors had a party there would always be a fight outside in front of my house around 2-3am after the party is over. I didn't really complain cause I just stayed in front of my window and watched. They recently moved and we have new neighbors now.

Im sure if you moved in the residents would be uneasy. And everything you did would be ridiculed with a magnifying glass. See what you and I think is ok and normal other people may hate. I prob think it's normal to grill as often as possible. You might hate the smell of grilling. I might feel it is normal to have guests over you might hate it. Now flip it around. You prob think it is normal to have a pet doggy or kitty. I HATE cats and dogs. You might think it is normal to cook yummy ethnic food. I will prob hate the smell. My point it there will always be something. |

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.

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. |

That sucks.. I guess all you can do is what TRW said because they don't seem to be very helpful in reducing their noise. This is one of the big reasons why I would not want to live in an apartment/duplex. Having to deal with strangers in this type of situation can easily become annoying as  .. |

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.

All you can do is complain to management man. If they continually refuse to do something check your contract as they be breaking a part of it on their side by not dealing with unsuitable living conditions.

I live in an apartment so yeh above me, my neighbors are always moving furniture or blasting techno music then my neighbours next to me, always laughing out loud in the middle of the night. One of them, a fat Filipino guy, is always showering at wee hours like 1-3am. What's worse? He thinks he's ing Mariah Carey and sings in the shower in all sorta weird pitches that he can't reach. My cats get freaked out by his singing... |
