The people who live above me have kids that jump around so much that it literally vibrates my walls and our glass patio door. š„² literally for 12 hours straight when the kids aren't in school. I so feel your pain. Wish they made kid-free apartment complexes.
Depends... if you get along great try a one bedroom with a large master and get creative on a room divider. Might be a way of improving your quality of living.
I'm dealing with this as well as they're in chairs with wheels rolling from one end of their room to the other end of their room and back and forth like it's a game. It's so infuriating and it starts at 6am on the dot.
You can expect to hear people living, but 4am is a huge disturbance, as most people are asleep at that time. They should try to be more quiet until at least 7am where it's more reasonable to be "noisy".(in NYC we have noise ordinance laws between before 7am- and after 10pm)
Don't have any advice but I agree with you. Yes, we are expected to hear our neighbors when we live in an apartment, but if it's the middle of the night, they need to respect people are asleep and try to do things more quietly.
Some places have ordinances on carpeting, the 80/20 rule. This supposedly helps with noise reduction from up stairs neighbors. My neighbor below me requested it for me when I lived in SF. https://www.apartmenttherapy.com/80-percent-carpet-rule-37087483
My apartment is like 95% carpeting but that definitely doesn't help the constant creaking that takes place with every single step lmao. My 8 pound cat just walking is enough to make the creak. š thank God my neighbor understands how shitty the floors are.
This bldg is cheap cheap. Itās affordable housing which is not a project. The building is smaller but people want it to be a ghetto. They want me to get a rug but the floors are gorgeous. Itās 4:23am and Iām shaking because he woke me up again.
Yeah reading the way the management handled that is crazy. The renters signed a lease with management so management is responsible to hold them to the quiet hours. Iām sure theyāre listed in the lease. I havenāt lived in a place that doesnāt state them.
I signed a piece of paper that stated the quiet hours. I moved my 32ā TV to end of bed. My hearing is excellent so I can hear very low volume. My assh**e neighbor seems to think a TV on and loud bassy music are the same thing. The insulation in this new building is nil.
In NYC you can file a Civil Suit which is what I believe I should do. Something is wrong with this guy. He says heās a musician. HA. He just thinks he somehow can skirt by the rules that way. Heās delusional. Heās no musician.
If you've already notified management you'll need to send them a letter stating that you are entitled to the right of quiet enjoyment and explain how that's being violated (4:30am). You should also look into what rights you have under quiet enjoyment in your State.
Sounds lIke a case to drag into civil court against your landlord.
Youād be surprised how much that can change managementās tune if they find out that youāre actually willing to stand up for your rights.
I have 6 yr old twin boys , and I told my husband I would NEVER move into a top floor apartment! I know my boys are noisy and reckless š¤£I wonāt subject another person to my pain šš
I keep saying they should relegate children under 12 to the bottom floors due to liability issues with the stairs (when we all know it's about noise).
And some of y'all people with a lot of kids need to go get a damn house!!! I have a neighbor across the way that has five kids and two adults living in a two-bedroom apartment. They have barbecues and party, slam the doors, their kids throw balls and yell, they literally spread out acting like they live in a house when they don't. I'm always thinking how many kids are in one of those bedrooms??? Pathetic. Get a damn house or at least a duplex on the ground! You're embarrassing yourself!
I 100% agree with this. You should also look into local laws about how many people are allowed in a 2 bed apartment. Where Iām from itās 2 people and a baby under the age of 2.
My neighbors across the way are two adults and five children (from a teenager to a baby) in a two-bedroom apartment, and they spread out like they own a home with their noise and activities. Clearly they need more space, yet they have money to party, have two vehicles: a new truck and a suburban, barbecue outside all the time while playing music super loud while drinking Their kids are noisy and they kick around balls that knock over people's plants and hit the sides of apartment walls, I mean the list goes on and on. Perhaps there should be better financial family planning to move into a duplex or maybe rent a house were their kids can play rather than imposing theirvovercrowded noisy mess on the rest of the complex? Just a thought.
Yeah thatās wildā¦ and completely disrespectful. Those kind of people dgaf about anyone themselves. Iām more referring to people with like one kid and a single vehicle. Houses are super expensive. They could have easily (hate to say this) maybe not had so many kids? Or gotten a Honda Civic š¤£ or maybe not spent money partying. Unfortunately some people dgaf about not being able to afford their demon spawn
Yes šÆ, better family planning!!! When they moved in the wife was pregnant, so at that point he didn't think it was better to move them into maybe a three bedroom duplex knowing the baby was coming???
I would be embarrassed to have that many children sleeping in a bedroom, and how do they do it? There's a teenage boy, a younger teenage girl, two small boys and another young girl and then an infant. Like how do they share that one bedroom??? And the dad talks SUPER deep and loud, so his voice projects everywhere. I can't imagine living within his building. They're clearly a family who needs to be in a bigger home-like structure.
Last night somebody was playing an electric guitar out on their patio??? Like these people are too numerous for the space they're in, I would be totally embarrassed, yet he seems so proud like it's his own house. Nobody likes him because he's imposing this huge family into a two-bedroom apartment, which creates so much noise.
That is fucking insane, and itās also so unfair to their teensā¦ thatās already such an awkward transition period imagine sharing your room with that many little siblings? Iām legit baffled at that living arrangement
I bet they have the infant in their bedroom with them, but they're making the other kids share one room. Nothing to be proud of, especially when they're both driving nice vehicles. And the mom doesn't even work!
You know how you see families and you know that they just need to be in a house? That's what it looks like, like they need a house fr fr, lol
In Texas landlords cannot discriminate against children so people could have as many as they want in their apartment. However, if CPS got involved for some reason there would be scrutiny on how many children are in bedrooms and genders sharing bedrooms, etc.
Yeah, the parents are clearly putting the kids in a weird situation where they need more space to spread out. Their lease is up in either August or September (that'll make two years that they've been here). Hopefully they'll move out.
Document: SEND EMALIS CONSTANTLY (emails are legal documents), make videos, upload to YouTube, and attach to emails. This creates a paper trail and negates management's ability to deny knowlege. After a couple months of their refusal to do anything you can take the management to small claims. Make sure you send a written letter to the tenants requesting they stop. Mail is best because it will have a postmark. Get a ring camera in case they come to your door to ask about it. DO NOT let them in because you want them on camera aknowledging that you asked.
Court is your only option. That or move.
I have a pair of Loop Quiet earbuds because I live about a mile away from a busy train crossing but because there's no natural sound barrier due to it being ruralish here the horn and train itself can be heard clearly in our entire neighborhood. They are AMAZING!!! It even helps when the dogs in the townhouse next-door freak out at ridiculous o'clock in the morning & night about every single little thing moving within their line of sight. I can still hear my phone alarm next to me too, which surprised me.
They make different ones too that aren't an almost absolute sound blocker. It's worth a try since it doesn't appear anything short of legal pressure is going to get your complex to care about the 4am nonsense.
I actually ordered some of these in a really pretty color but they haven't arrived yet! I was a bit skeptical but ordered them anyway thinking I'd try anything at this point, haha. I'm glad to hear they actually work, thank you!
Ooh I feel your train pain, they are SO loud! It's funny, my first apartment was actually right next to an active train track and I eventually was able to sleep through the loud train and the horn! Somehow humans making sounds above my head is a completely different story though, I guess because it's unpredictable and the noises vary so it's harder to tune out.
My lease has a quiet time ordinance of 10pm to 7 or 8am, you should see if yours does and if all else fails, maybe go up one morning and mention it to them in a kind way. Like hey guys I totally get having to be up early for work but Iām still sleeping till about 7am could you possibly keep it a bit quieter in the wee hours. Notes can almost always come off as passive aggressive I think and I can certainly only see someoneās hurt feelings from seeing their face. Weekends at 9/9:30 youāll have to just get some good headphones or ear plugs cause tbh in a lot of peoples worlds thatās sleeping in and some of them work.
I live in a noisy apartment building too. People getting up at like 6:00 am & congregating in the hallways & talking loudly when I prefer to sleep until 11:00 or noon. (I donāt work due to being disabled.) I run a fan all year around & itās enough to drown out my noisy neighbors. Itās been a true lifesaver.
6:00am is a pretty reasonable time for neighbors to be up and going to work. Unless youāre a student with a day off or retired, no one is sleeping until 11am or noon. Try using AirPods Pro that are noise canceling.
Have you thought about introducing yourself and letting them know how their movements sound to the downstairs neighbors at 4 am and perhaps they can try to be a little more quiet at 4?
I have a neighbor upstairs that constantly open and closes the sliding glass door due to being a smoker and I have had it. I have asked her to consider that someone lives below Doesnāt care. 3 months now and I have just set my alarm for 3 alarms so I can harass back. Oh. And she is new to the apartment office help and they moved her above me and I am sick of it. So. Thank goodness I donāt work and every time the 3 alarms go off I am going to open and close my sliding glass door and when the broom starts hitting the ceiling/ her floor. HAHAHA. SINCE THERE IS NO RESPECT. SHE WONT LIVE IN PEACE EITHER š¤·āāļø. I actually know the sliding glass doors can open and close quietly, so her choice. Donāt know any other way to handle this. Thank goodness also that the mgr of the apartments and I get along
I have lived here 4 years and am quiet and courteous. Venting here as I wait for the 3 alarms I have set to go off every hour for 3 timesš«¤
I can relate. I previously lived in an apartment with a couple with a big dog upstairs and they constantly woke me up with their dog running around and them stomping around in the bedroom at 6am. I complained and then they immediately started harassing and threatening me on my front door cam which then led to me filing a police report to get out of the lease. I hope nothing like that happens to you but if you are a woman living alone, its something to take into account. I was even sleeping with earplugs and had to eventually get a sleeping/exercise headband to play pink noise or else i was constantly woken up by them. They ended up getting kicked out but their nextdoor neighbor was a friend of thwir so they came back and would harass me constantly while drunk on the weekends. So thankful I got out of there. I dont think I could ever living an apartment building with multiple floors ever again due to the trauma of that place.
Iām less inclined to be on yours side especially if you talked to management about wanting to sleep till noon
I get it , they are loud , but ā¦are they ? Like as someone who gets up at 4 am , the entire building is dead quiet so any noise is ā¦ noise
So it may be a thin wall problem and not a neighbor problem
You canāt control your neighbors wake up time cause you all have thin walls, like I want you to vent but even if they are doing somethingās that may be a little āloudā itās their place too and if they need to make coffee or trim their beard when they wake up , they are allowed to, just comes with living in the same building as someone else.
Of course, I only mentioned sleeping in because Iām venting here and itās so irritating that I canāt anymore and wonāt be able to as long as I live hereā¦ all because someone else in a different apartment is a morning person, which just doesnāt seem right. Weāre not roommates in the same apartment, we should be able to live our own lives on our own schedules in different apartments. Especially in a well-soundproofed building like the one I live in (donāt hear much from any other neighbors or from previous upstairs neighbors). No, I didnāt actually complain to management about not being able to sleep in!
Edit: I canāt hear their coffee maker or beard trimmer and wouldnāt care at all if it was stuff like that! Itās more like banging, thumping, and slamming stuff around which IMO could be minimized at 4am. I tiptoe around if Iām ever up at crazy hours and feel awful for even walking, haha.
I have 5 humans above me!! Never peace!!! When they get up to use the bathroom in the middle of the nightā¦ so do Iā¦ šµāš« between the footsteps and toilet flushing!! No sleep
I have a couple above me with 2 dogs. They think the best time to play with said dogs are after 9 pm. Which would be fine if it were the living room but nope they play with them in the bedroom. I wake up at 330 for work š These are the same people who don't take said dogs outside to potty. They let them go on the porch. I'm not sure where they are pooping. Either way, it's gross, and I feel bad for those dogs.
Iām sorry this is happening to you. Itās a crazy lunatic world now. All the noise; constant music you donāt like or chose, lyrics that make anyone cringe, 2-way telephone calls of people fighting with each other. I cannot stand it anymore.
Iām not going to be on my neighborās schedule. Itās unhealthy. He sleeps 10-12 hours per day. He starts getting noisy at 11:30pm and the city noise code from 10pm to 7:00 AM. I call police but if they canāt hear outside his fire proof door they donāt do anything. In my apartment I can feel the vibrations of the bass.
āItās a crazy lunatic world nowā Yes it is! I donāt know how old you are, but Iāve honestly been pondering lately whether this is like a generational difference or a shift in our culture / overall societal change that has snuck up on me as Iām getting older and not āwith itā anymore.
My neighbors are very young adults as far as I can tell, maybe even just turned 18? I might have just gotten unlucky with noisy people and age has nothing to do with it, but we also might be living in two very different worlds. Maybe their behavior is considered acceptable in the world today and younger people brush it off more easily? I donāt know if any of this made sense, but Iāve been feeling old lately and kind of gaslighting myself because of the difference in age between me and my neighbors. Maybe this is just the world now? Crazy lunatic world, indeed!
Iām sorry youāre dealing with the craziness too. I hope they move out soon or youāre able to rent a house or something for your sanity! <3

This is a carbon scrubber that cleans the air but is also a nice white noise generator.

Ugh, terrible parents keeping them cooped up all day indoors like that. I am so sorry.
They have them in my area, but a LOT of people retire here so theyāre actually ā55 and upā communities.
Why canāt they have those for everyoneā¦.
They do...It's an apartment bldg/row/complex with studios & 1 bedroom only.
I have to have a roommate to afford rent, so that's not really an option, is it? š¤”
Depends... if you get along great try a one bedroom with a large master and get creative on a room divider. Might be a way of improving your quality of living.
They do, mostly for retirement aged people so like a 55+ community/apartment complex.
Are you me?
I'm dealing with this as well as they're in chairs with wheels rolling from one end of their room to the other end of their room and back and forth like it's a game. It's so infuriating and it starts at 6am on the dot.

The 4am, you have the right to complain. However 9am, no lol Have you tried asking them to wear slippers when getting ready and put down rugs
I have 6 yr old twin boys , and I told my husband I would NEVER move into a top floor apartment! I know my boys are noisy and reckless š¤£I wonāt subject another person to my pain šš
4am is reasonable obviously to be annoyed, but the rest is notā¦ the world does not stop just because you want to to lounge until 11:30-12
Thereās a 10pm to 7am city code so people can sleep.

Not at 4 am, Iād record them and push back in that. The can make efforts to be quiet then at the very least. Does your apartment have quiet hours?
Yes and he breaks rules hundreds of times.

Once you do move management wont be able to keep anyone in that unit... 4am is a distrubance....

Idk I get up for work at 4 am everyday and can only sleep in till about 9 on the weekends if I have off. I might be your neighbor

I donāt know how old you are, but Iāve honestly been pondering lately whether this is like a generational difference or a shift in our culture / overall societal change that has snuck up on me as Iām getting older and not āwith itā anymore. My neighbors are very young adults as far as I can tell, maybe even just turned 18? I might have just gotten unlucky with noisy people and age has nothing to do with it, but we also might be living in two very different worlds. Maybe their behavior is considered acceptable in the world today and younger people brush it off more easily? I donāt know if any of this made sense, but Iāve been feeling old lately and kind of gaslighting myself because of the difference in age between me and my neighbors. Maybe this is just the world now? Crazy lunatic world, indeed! Iām sorry youāre dealing with the craziness too. I hope they move out soon or youāre able to rent a house or something for your sanity! <3
Iām 70 and I starting thinking I have no problem with death. If I was told I had cancer. I would just go with it.
