rp77 | Noisy neighbors in apartment..please help!? |
Hi, I've been hearing this banging noise from my upstairs neighbors ALL DAY long on a daily basis. I asked my neighbors if they could please stop making so much noise. The woman chuckled a bit but said ok. It continued so I complained to management and was told to call the super the next time so he could hear. I took the day off of work last week to study and I couldn't so I called the super. He heard it and was like "What is that noise!?" He went upstairs and it turns out it's their baby crawling!! Before I moved, I specifically asked who lived on the 2nd floor and I was told that it was a young girl. I asked management if my neighbors could carpet the place or even throw some rugs down but it's as if I'm the unreasonable one because it's a baby. I don't know what to do. I can't relax after a long day at work. I haven't had a good night's sleep in the past 5 months I've been living here..any advice would be great appreciated. |

I would ask for the apartment to relocate you.
If you are hearing the baby crawl, there is little sound proofing between the floors. You can't demand they stop doing that, mainly because you're hearing their baby crawl.
I would talk to the manager and explain that if you can hear a baby crawl across the floor that something needs to be done. Either you are given the ability to move in the same complex or they need to do SOMETHING to make it more sound proof. |

The only way to fight noice is to make noise.
I know this is not the answer you want, but this is the real world, not Wayne's world.
I have the same exact problem, and me and my teenagers
(they visited me this weekend) had so much fun screaming at the top of our lungs at 1:00am. I think it was better than therapy, and we saved around 100 per session. |

If you are stuck in a lease there isn't much you can do except buy ear plugs. If they have an opening on a top floor you can see if you could move up there and that way you won't have any noise on top of you. If you are not in a lease I would look at moving to a different apartment building. Apartments suck it is like living with a bunch of roommates from all the noise. |

You'll never be able to control who lives around you in an apartment setting. If you can't handle the noise, you'll have to move. Oddly enough, it would be easier for you if someone was doing vial things and throwing parties. But, its a baby and they aren't intentionally doing something rotten. |

A baby crawling is making that much noise? Unfortunately, if the management doesn't put carpet down, other than moving there isn't much you can do. You can't control who your neighbors are going to be, nor what they do in their own space. We lived downstairs from a couple who kept their baby in a walker all day and all you could hear was the walker running around. You get used to it, or you move. |

the baby is making "banging" noises? that has to be one heavy baby...if you can afford it, offer to pay the carpeting bill for them.... |

Ask the manager to move you. Based on that much noise going on and you (nor him) have any control over it, you should be able to move. |

There are a few ways to go about this. Being immature and starting a battle with them is not the answer. The first thing is to check your lease. At some point there has to be an entry that you have to have a "habitable" environment. Now, it would be up to a lawyer to decide what that it. Leases, covenants restrictions are written in a very vague language.
Is it possible to switch your location or theirs and stay in the same building? If you are in a 'sprawling' area where the company might have a few buildings, they might move you and give you a free upgrade.
If you offer to buy them things like carpet - they might want you to carpet the whole place and take advantage. Plus, most apartment complexes are built with plywood and cheap subfloor. If they drop a towel, you might hear it. If you get a new place, be on the top floor in the corner if you can. That helps with noise reduction. and might give you only one wall that is shared.
Every time it happens, call the office/super so there is info on record. Don't nag or be nasty - then they won't want to help you. Ask them to come visit when it happens. If it is the baby crawling, that child has to sleep at some point, so they will come back with that it is not happening 24/7. It has to be something else. Could it be their music? Them walking around?
Good Luck! |

i don't know

find another place, it's not to be on the baby's side, but you can't expect a baby to grow up overnight and stop crawling. |

I have the same problem but it's at toddler running steady all day in the duplex we live in. Since it's within bylaw hours, landlord wouldn't do anything including a suggestion that carpeting would help muffle the noise. With this kind of situation, I am inclined to find a new dwelling, which I am doing presently. Oh the neighbour accused us of banging on the wall and causing a picture to fall and break. No one was home when that happened but landlord has decided to ask me to leave. Was planning to especially since I found creating noise in retaliation aggravated them into making more noise. Wish you luck in whatever you decide |

Buy a white noise machine...or run a fan. It sucks, but it can keep you from going crazy.
The Problem then becomes, you need the white noise when you travel...... |

man this one is complicated.........see the only way out according to me is to take action as strict as possible. I think u are being far to polite than they actually deserve, and if u start making some comments that make them feel bad....they'll themselves stop making noise. |

Not sure what to tell you. Management probably won't drop the coin to carpet the upstairs and, really, who'd have thought a baby crawling could make SO much noise? As a very noise-sensitive person as well I've found it best to create a good relationship with my neighbors so that if I'm going to have a period of time where I'll need some semblance of quiet I know I can ask without coming off in a bad light. During normal day-to-day activities I've found that white noise is about the best for cancelling out a majority of outside noise. I use fans because they're cheap and effective. I've also been known to use earplugs and headphones to sleep or watch TV. Ideal? No but if we all lived in our ideal worlds where would the challenge be? :)
Again, my biggest piece of advice is to build relationships with your neighbors -- throw a building cookout, have a holiday party, heck, just introduce yourself and it'll go a long way. Also be sure to carefully pick your battles: Don't expect everyone to walk on eggshells just because you want it quiet all the time. Everyone has to make compromises and concessions. That's my $.02 worth. :) Hope it helps! |

This sounds so close to something I could have written. God forbid you ask them to be quiet at night apparently it's not normal to want to sleep at night at least 2am - 6am I swear my neighbor doesn't sleep. If you dare knock all of a sudden YOU are disturbing them, a knock onthe wall is nothing compared to the noise level they create my earplugs say they block 32 decibels so if you are jarring someone awake than there is an issue. I asked the landlord before this guy moved in to add some sound proofing under there carpet and really they are entitled to new carpet but they claim it won't work, it's certainly cheaper than trying to sound prrof a ceiling. Really ask you neighbors to invest or get the lanlord to invest in a little sound proofing foam.
Before I moved in I specfically asked who lived up stairs and if it was quite. They said yes. Once I moved in and asked them once to talk to the upstairs neighbors after living with it for months they said oh you should expect some noise, some noise yes, but no silence ever NO. You do have rights and it's your right to peaceable enjoy your apartment without being told you need to move out if you expect to sleep at night.
don't let them turn it around as if you are the problem. |

Ok, here is what you do...purchase or rent 4 huge tv speakers, rent or download a group porno dvd, put it in your dvd player and blast it up really loud.
You make your neighbours mad and you look like the man when you walk around the building.
Neighbours: 0
You: 1
OR You go up their and punt their baby down the hallway.
You go to jail
Neighbours: 0
You: -1 |

Start by making police reports. Call whenever the banging occurs. After frequent reports, then go to court to seek a legal remedy.
Tell the court you tried to solve it out of court but both (landloard & other tenant) would not comply to reasonable requests. Carpets are not harmful to babies. |
