Sometimes, it may be the water pipes and other plumbing pipes expanding and contracting, and the noise of concrete expanding and contracting as the temperature cools at night - and those sounds can mimic all sorts of other noises.

Many fellow Malaysian neighbours don't care. Very selfish. As long as they are not the one being disturbed or affected, they won't bother. It's also unfortunate our local development and council policies do not help, especially with regulations such as how far apart houses should be, where to install aircon outdoor units, proper QC checks on floor slabs or walls. The list can go on and on. Moving to another place may not help, as one may get a "new" neighbour few years down the line at the new place, and the "merry-go-round-of-hell" starts, again.

Wish OP best of luck in dealing with the "upstairs-neighbour".

This is the reason why ayam purchased top floor

that is nuts

He want other neighbors to hear him via the loudspeaker ?

People must be thinking this person is crazy

and what if he wake up iother people (innocent parties) ?
Other neighbors will complain about him.

I'm having this problem right now

Can even hear tv sound from unit above mine

Previously it was empty, no wonder I didn't hear anything from upstairs

Now can't even wake up late lazy2 in the weekend

My daymare and nightmare have begun

I have a Hulk Aunty downstairs like to slam door one

I presume it happens at night too?

You can try speaking nicely with them, maybe tell them you have small kid or elderly who is easily startled and awakened by the noise.

if you buy landed , better get a bungalow..

used to stay in a landed and the neighbour is a ukelele and piano teacher...she is definitely not talented if you know what i mean..
day in day out the same songs...i was climbing the wall liao..talked to her she said nothing can be done..i said close your freaking doors
so less noise but to no avail..so blardy inconsiderate and selfish..

then she has singing lessons with kids and after each lessons,, the song kept playing in my head for hours and hours..!

Eventually i moved away ..

So if really want to buy a terrace house - better check out who are your neighbours ..maybe got airbnb, dirty tenants etc.., heavy smokers,
etc...so many irritants..endless..

so true, my neighbour face smoking issue at condo, and sometimes the ciggy butt found in their balcony, which is dangerous as most of us hang our clothes at balcony to dry

High rise = hell

1 thing funny I notice. My condo building quality is really bad. Now I notice the door slamming sound came from unit below...

Consider install soundproof ceiling.

Sorry but to say that you can't expect others to change for you, if you feel highly disturbed by sound from above, should find own solution not rely on others to do it for you ...

You may think "is the guy staying above fault, why i have to pay for it" ... but do note the guy above is not bothered by the noise, you are.

Well... It is your right to have your opinion. May I ask:
1. Do you live in a condo/apartment/flat?
2. If yes for #1, are you living on top floor?

I can understand TS, not much can do.
Maybe your upper neighbour will succumb to CIVID19, hopes always there in 2020 for shit to happen to them

oooh, malicious compliance time
buy this thing on morning till 10:59pm

All our condo is crap quality.

Unless you buy those 3 million condo at KLCC area.

I can even hear people dragging chair 5 floors above me.

But the one thing that is unforgivable is the door slamming. When developer does a bad job in doing a proper door closing, I feel very pissed off. At the AGM, when the developer big boss attended it, I felt like dismantle one of my unit door, and then smash it over his head.

what condo u stay at? dont have laundry room until need to hang at balcony?

Yes No

I recall some ktards got upset when people advised them to improve their unit's sound insulation due to noisy neighbours who quarrel loudly. They argued that the proper solution is to get those neighbours to shut up.

old type condo
