TS, I think you have 2 options, since you cannot cucuk langit.
1. Talk nicely with them
2. Talk fiercely with them.

This is the downside of staying in condo. There are other disadvantages too:
Neighbours washing balcony and the dirty or soapy water splashes into your unit,
Smokers downstairs,
Smoke from josssticks,

The unit above the mofo is penthouse. I can afford the penthouse if selling off current unit.
If this plan materialized, I will drop steel balls above his master bedroom every fricking night on random time!!!
Also wear wood clogs (kasut kayu) whole day walking.

Don't think about it. He will cucuk langit or complain to management.

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 bangwall.gif

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.

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.

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.

Let's say to insulate a condo master bedroom. What is the usual solution and rates for the job?

Idk, it also depends on where the noise is from. If it's from outside, I'd start with upgrading to double glazed windows and using thicker curtains.

Many people think landed is a solution but it is not.

Landed unless you live in comer lot or bangalow, chances are you will hear noises from your left and right neighbour.

In a condo unit, chances are you will hear noises from your left, right, below and upper neighbours. This is in addition to sounds from furniture dragging, footsteps and dropped things.

Then you will have to contend with golden showers and rubbish thrown from above. And cigarette + joss stick burning smells from below.
