noisy neighbors  

I agree with you. We make an effort to keep our noise down and think our neighbors should do the same. If they are too loud, then we go ask them to turn their music or whatever down. Most neighbors don't care because they want their quiet as well. Our upstairs neighbor had a bad habit of running his washing machine at 2:30AM! After the second time I told the management and they spoke with him about the matter. Hasn't happened since. Where we live if you get report for an offence and get reported 3 more times on the same offence they can evict you. I am also not beyond calling the police on distrubing the peace if things get out of hand (the management actually prefers us to do this).Just because you live in an apartment, doesn't mean that you should have to listen to other people's noise.

Oh yes, I have noisy neighbors. I live in an upstairs apartment, and the family that lives below us has 3 little kids! We constantly hear them running around and yelling and them getting in trouble! lol. Thankfully, we are moving into a house next weekend, so we won't have to deal with that anymore!

Yes! Gosh yes, in fact I wrote about it in my blog, a terrible incident happened about a week ago.
We have 2 neighbours who like to drink together but they get very loud and aggresive when they do and its so annoying. Last week the police were called at 12:30am for music and then again at 5am for fighting/arguing and one of them got arrested.
I think its really about respect for your neighbours, our neighbour directly below (one of the drinkers, not the one that got arrested) gets angry when people wake him up but thinks its ok to put his music on incredibly loud... so loud that I can't hear my tv or people in my own flat! Recently (after the incident last week) he seems to be better. I think the police visit really rattled him.

If you've requested many times for your neighbour to turn their music down I would take the next step. Are you able to complain to your builing manager (I'm not sure if thats the right department... here when you live in a flat/apartment you have a body corporate who you can complain too) and then if they still keep it up I would start calling the police.

i did use to have noisy neighbors

would play there music till 4 to 5 am most days telling them to keep it down just got the reply its our choice

so i made my choice to move my weightlifting time to 6am just as they were going to sleep 300lb wights droping on the gym floor can keep anyone awake dident take long for them to get the message :)

Well I live in an apt. also. I will give any of my neighbors the benefit of the doubt. However, if I am being disturbed and I have asked nicely to keep it down and they still don't respect it, My next move would be the leasing office. I know within your lease there should be guidelines and rules while living on their property. Sometimes it takes the leasing office to send them a letter to say they are disturbing other tenants. Sometimes you just can't reason with people on your own, but I feel if you are paying for where you live everyone has to want to get along, some don't such as your neighbor. Try the leasing agent. Don't let them run you out of your apartment. Good luck to you....

We have a few like that, but we keep our peace by ignoring them. One day we hope to move. Sometimes you have to act like they aren't even there. Good luck

At first I thought you typed nosy neighbors! LOL! We have neighbors who have the occaisional all night dee-jay parties, but other than that we all are respectful to each other. We have a house now, but when I used to live in an apartment, it was extremely noisy. I had no choice but to hear my neighbors business and stuff I really didn't NEED to hear. I didn't like it. I would complain to management, if it becomes worse.

i have noisy neighbors yes but they won't be a problem coz they live in my apartment when i tell them to tone down their voices or radios they will all oblige. try transfering to a place were you can relax

Can your Landlord do something about it? A lot of people are insensitive. I just remember same problem i encounter like yours. I put all my efforts to make my neighbor stop his load music. I complain to the authorities but still it do no good. What i did is i bought a new sound system and play a loud music also. I notice he eventually stop since i think i got a better quality sound. I don't know if this will work for you.

hm. I guess u should report it to management if the things goes on
