OMG, it's so good to find this site. I live on the top floor of an apartment building. Very little insulation, but in the 20 years I've lived here I haven't had too many problems with noise. I have complained on occasion, and management does take action. Now a couple moved underneath me, who seemingly have no children, but have children visit them every weekend. I don't know if this one child is from a previous relationship or what. Tonight there were 3 toddlers underneath me, all running around. Two went home with their mother, and now it is after midnight and the one remaining "houseguest" is continuing to run and jump. I can't sleep. I hate going down and knocking on the door, but it looks like I'm going to have to.
WHERE do people EVER get off thinking that behavior like this is okay? I'm childless, happy to be that way, and admittedly have VERY little tolerance for kid noise. No flaming, please, I'm being honest. One of the reasons why I haven't moved out of here, besides the fact that I get a good deal on the rent, is that I basically knew what to expect in terms of neighbors and noise. Some problems, but nothing too extreme. But I just can't stand this jumping and running.
