Sound off with upstairs neighbor

[Whiteoutjames]

i am fed up with my upstairs neighbor, this morning as im in bed i am awoken at 9;00 to the sound of a carpet install directly above my bed.

this is in addition to the incessant stomping that occurs all day and night, i just wonder where they are going to back and forth. i have the same floor plan and i can get away with alot less traveling inside.

anyways its 1:30 pm and i dont know how long i need to blast the tunes to make my point but any suggestions or just general venting if you can relate.

I can relate.. I hate apartment living and am so thankful that this place gave me an apartment over garages and only one tenat on the side that's never home.. I can use my home theater system and all.. But the last place I was downstairs and could not figure out what they was doing.. Like walking a marathon up there.. Even when I cleaned house I didn't walk that much.. I could hear the baby crawl and it just thudded so bad.. It could be picked up on a crappy cell recoding..

I sympathize.. I know exactly how you feel..

Yeah, you have my sympathy. We once had a "thunder foot" living over us when we first moved to San Diego. Luckily we didn't stay in the apartment that long.

Ear plugs are your best friend!!
If you have an alarm than put one in, Crank up the vol (Screw them) and try to sleep on the ear that doesn't have the ear plug in. Works for me

Girlfriend has offered to Scream Louder, will try that tonight

I had an apartment once. I lived below a couple of fat bitches. Never again

Used to live in an apartment that the walls were so thin you could hear
every time they would turn on the tap sounding like it was raining out
plus the V8 he had would shake the hell out of the place when he left for work at 5:00am

now living in a high rise that has to be build to withstand a cyclone (hurricane) so place is near on sound proof

i'm very lucky. i'm on the top floor, and with the way the building is designed, i really only have one neighbor. (corner unit, and the only part that's touching my other neighbor's unit is the kitchen)

Deal with it or do what she said. That actually does get a point across.

[WiKKiD]

Go talk to them. Best option

Buy a house. Until that time understand its probably not deliberate. Installing carpet will reduce the footstep noise BTW. Mostly, don't start a fight over something that is unintentional.

What he said.

I know that it really depends on where you live and what you are looking for in surroundings but take it with a grain of salt if you are working your way up. If you do not want to have to deal with someone on top of you then there you'll have to just deal with it until you can move on.

I can pretty much guarantee that playing your stereo louder will not do a thing except to kill your hearing and piss off your other neighbors. Ear plugs as mentioned, headphones for music or just go about your daily life and deal with it. It's part of apartment living.
