Today, and for the last 8 months my upstairs neighbours have been making a tremendous noise. I finally decided to go up to complain: "The amount of noise you make is unbelievable ! It sounds like you're driving tractors up here!". The woman replies: "My husband is paraplegic..." FML

Today, after 3 days of interrupted sleep, I confronted my new neighbor about the noise his wife keeps making during their "private time". He then let me know the noise is actually from his daughter, who's mentally disabled and isn't taking the move well. FML

Today, my downstairs neighbours screamed at me for making so much noise that I woke their children up and made them cry. The noise was the sound of a loose floorboard shifting as I crept to my bathroom, and again on my way back to bed. They've sworn to get me evicted. FML

Today, I found out my upstairs neighbors filed a noise complaint against me for banging on the ceiling every night. They conveniently left out the part where they constantly stomp, shout, and do stuff that sounds like they're dropping bricks to the floor every night. FML

Today, my new neighbours moved in. I had always thought my bedroom wall was soundproof, because my old neighbours never complained about my loud night terrors. Turns out they were just stone deaf. The new ones can hear everything. FML

Today, I finally decided to go talk to my upstairs neighbour about the loud banging noises he makes every single morning around 8 a.m. It worked. Now he starts at 7 a.m. FML

Noise annoys

By boom boom boom - 06/06/2022 01:00 - United States

Today, my neighbor got a ridiculous surround sound system that sounds like Jurassic fucking Park come to life. My walls are literally shaking. I tried asking nicely for them to turn it down. They told me to fuck off, and that if I call the cops with a noise complaint, well… they know where I live. FML

Today, I met my new upstairs neighbors and their 4 kids all under the age of 6. I met them due to all the thudding coming from upstairs. FML

Today, I have to wear earplugs in my own apartment because my neighbor won't turn down his music. My landlord doesn't believe me because "people with disabilities can't be rude." FML

Quiet

Today, I saw my upstairs neighbor outside getting the mail. She asked how my day was, and then apologized that the sound of her baby's crying through the walls kept me up last night. Apparently she heard me when I yelled at 2am for her fucking demon spawn to shut up. FML

Today, like every evening, our place is literally shaking with banging noises from the apartment below. Are they raising ponies down there? Wrecking the furniture? Taking out some walls? No, it's just my landlord's six-year-old. Playing. FML

that does not at all explain why theyre so noisy. if its because of his wheelchair, they need to put down carpet. disabled people can be inconsiderate too.

How did you live downstairs from your neighbour for eight months and never quite notice that he was in a wheelchair?

im sorry, have any of you ever ******* met or lived with a person who is a para or a quad? I don't think so. let me phrase this : HE IS IN A WHEELCHAIR. now i'd like you to be stuck in one and see how damn quiet you are if you can't use your legs. bc it's hard for them. my dad is a quad and mobility is a challenge. so I'm sorry that he's inconsiderate when trying to do something like getting into bed. I'll make sure he is more considerate next time and sits in his chair alll freaking day so that he doesn't disturb you because he wants to live as much of a normal life as possible. ignorant ass people.

i completly understand where you are coming from but there is a middle ground, i cant say what the middle ground would be because i dont know what he was doing to make noise but just because you are confined to a wheelchair doesnt mean you can be an ass about it. im NOT saying in any way that this man was being an ass because i dont have full context

my best friends dad is a paraplegic and he doesn't bang around. yes he will make extra noise, but if it really was enough to cause complaint it might have been excessive. I wasn't aware you knew everything and knew the situation to it's full extent. thanks for your infinite wisdom.

Also going around there home can be noise to op specialy if the buildings old idk if op's is but I'm just saying there are a lot of reasons ops neighbors are being noisy without them being inconsiderate on purpose

Doesn't offer any explanation on why the **** they're loud. Unless his wheel chair has a car engine I don't get how, being a paraplegic for godsake, someone can be that loud alone.

How does someone in a wheelchair even live in an upstairs apartment?! Even if they have elevators, surely they would give a disabled person a ground floor appt

I am a paraplegic, and I can say that I do make more noise than the average person just doing every day tasks, but it isn't excessively loud, not to the extent that neighbors would complain about it. And I don't understand why someone who is paralyzed is living upstairs either. And paraplegics can have sex by the way, to the person who said they couldn't. Depending on the injury level, he may not be able to feel it, but his wife still can, and that can mean a lot to a paraplegic. So idk why exactly he's so loud or why he's living upstairs.
