I feel a little better after reading so many of these comments and realizing I wasn't the only person having problems. I spent 8 years in one downstairs apt. with a revolving door of various tenants in the apartment above me. Most were guys (I'm an older female) and I was constantly being woke up by the heavy walking around the apartment in the wee hours of the morning. Add to that the constant noise from overly loud music and TV's. I finally reached a point where I could financially afford more rent and moved to what i thought was an ideal apartment. No such luck...the woman who lived above me moved out of state and a guy moved in. So I'm back to square one. I leave early in the morning to catch a bus to work, so I try very hard to avoid disturbing my neighbors with my TV ( volume kept low to catch news and weather), my hairdryer (5 min. max) or with shutting doors (no slamming). My feeling is that any noise that escapes an apartment and disturbs others is an infringement on quality of life...but it seems that good manners and any consideration for others has gone by the wayside. I'm already making plans to start looking for a new apartment in the spring (my lease is up in Feb.). How tiresome!
