Flat noise talking to neighbours

evoke

I'd say creaky floorboards should be fixed. It would be the neighbourly thing to do as you would be affecting the quality of life of the person living in the flat below.

I have experienced noisy neighbours in the flat above. I wouldn't wish the resulting distress and misery on my worst enemy.

Personally I would be horrified if my creaky floorboards were causing my neighbour problems as it's a problem that's relatively easy to fix - just screw them down properly.

They rent, it's the landlords creaky floorboards.....and it might not even be creaky floorboards, there's no mention of that in the first post.

Not so easy if you have to lift off the flooring whether its carpet, laminate, lino, floor tiles. If floor boards are easy to get too then fair enough, its always best screwing floorboards down

Very hard/expensive once a flat has been built to retro fit sound insulation to cut down on noise.

I wonder if the flat above has laminate down as that doesn't help, carpets absorb some sound

I had one neighbour complaining about the noise I made in the night. Turns out, it was the noise of the toilet flusing she objected to. I'm not going to not go to the toilet just because someone may or may not wake up with the noise.

When I lived in a flat I wouldn't flush the toilet if I went for a night time pee, for this reason.

If it`s yellow let it mellow , if it`s brown , flush it down

I was brought up not to flush at night unless essential so as not to disturb others as was my husband isn't that the norm?

I didn't used to, but then you end up using more toilet cleaner because the toilet gets dirty quicker....and there is also someone living above me who seems to spend all his life in the toilet and flushes it constantly, when he's not doing DIY that is, or clomping round in his size enormouses, on a laminate floor...


I do understand, believe me, but there is nothing you can do otherwise i would already have done it

He is noisy, but you just get used to it after a while, it becomes background noise. It's really interesting on the nights when he has his 'internet chats' with his windows open....ewww.....
