Neighbors Walking Upstairs - Noisy Floors

Typical early morning racket long before my alarm clock is to go off. Listen to the big bang at the end. Incredible. Also, during the day, it is constant! Even watching TV with headphones doesn't drown it out. At night, this occurs every few hours for 10 to 15 minutes. Earplugs don't help. I wear them and still get woke by them every single night and morning. Sux to be home on weekends. Only way to drown it out is to crank the stereo LOUD. Even then, it is still audible. Crazy floors.

Thats because they have hard creaky florrs.. If they were normal and had carpets ,you wouldn't have this problem but then it isnt their fault that you can hear them walking.. I'm sure you dont tiptoe around yourself...... You would sound like that if you lived upstairs from them

@sportykyle - these floors are padded AND carpeted. And yes, we did walk much more softly. Those below us never heard us. We even listened to each other from below just to see. The apartment manager came over and listened to this herself and offered us another apartment. It had quieter people upstairs. Problem solved.

that is terrible. what steps have you taken to resolve this?

[DesertTrip]

@jeffwongdesign We couldn't take it much longer after this. Management told us that the floors would have to be rebuilt and THAT wasn't happening. We moved. No one keeps us up at night now. :D

oh man i feel for you!! as i write this i'm having the exact same problem with the people upstairs.

I have the same problem, my neighbors are excessive about it cause they have kids but The real issue seems to be the cheap floors. Does anyone know if this is a legitimate argument in court. Its the most aggravating fucking thing to live with but my tennant laws doesnt really define "inhabitable" Anyone that has any ideas or experience, plz let me know.

@halo9372 I would have to cuss that bitch out for doing that. As far as that guy being big and you don't think you can lick em' ...that's what guns are for. My story: My whole apartment complex is inconsiderate because they let the doors fly closed and it always let's a loud BOOM sound when it closes. They don't let it gradually close. I'm putting a sign up about it.

I feel for you as I'm listening to my loud upstairs neighbors. It drives me crazy. Ughhh I want to move!!!! Seriously want to hit the ceiling with a broom but people get shot over dumber stuff these days. It's ALL day and night! It's so bad that when we had a level 4 earthquake here I thought it was my neighbors running around again. The other crappy part I'm a student so around finals I don't even try studying at home.

@DesertTrip I'm glad to hear that you have resolved the problem. Sadly, I've bought a condo and am somewhat anchored to it for a while. Thanks for sharing your story... perhaps the only resolution at some point is to move away to a place that has no shared walls. Cheers!

DUDE, I FEEL YOU. IMAGINE THAT, BUT AT PRE-MOTHAFOCKIN-CICELY 2:54 a.m. Every Mothafreakin' day I hear that. UUUGGGGGG!!!

I feel like I'm going insane man! I'm serious. I feel your agony!

I'm sick of this passive stance I have taken, in regards to my noisy neighbor. I'm about to blow the fuck up and yell SHUT THE FUCK UP and break the motherfucking ceiling.
