Wow..and I thought of starting a thread for this.........same problem fro ma neighbor upstairs...I dropped a note to them, they threaten to go to police with my note saying i was trespassing ( was like wtf? ) and the note was nicely written mind you.....assholes walk like elephants...keep dropping things and dunno doing what upstairs and worst part, they don't sleep till 4-5 am.....Neighbors downstairs I know how to deal with by doing what they did to me back to them but upstairs, I can't knock on the ceiling given that I have plaster ceiling installed but there are still part of the ceilings which I can poke but I am not resorting to that yet.

Talked to the fucking management, they asked me to record down as evidence but if you guys know it, it's not gonna be loud through recordings, it's not drilling sound which is obvious, it's all those knocking sound and walking that annoys the hell out of me. And how the hell am i suppose to time when to record.......dumb fuck managements....

Just set to record audio for the entire day and store it in an external hard drive or on the cloud or something, then isolate the baseline noise level waveform from the chair dragging waveform (at the time when your neighbor is making noise). If you have some audio processing software it should be pretty easy to isolate the time when they're making noise, though idk if management will actually do anything lol

During mco time I hear chair dragging sound in middle of night
Every time I call the guard to sound this fella. this fella will drag one more time then stop
But recently this fella getting more malicious
Drag chair late at night 1 am
I confronted the fella but the wife denied say they never drag any chair
Then got new sound they purposely drop something very heavy on the floor
I really marah I take big stick and hit the Ceiling
I am thinking of buying a basketball and hit the ceiling too

But in mean times what can I do ?
I lodge report with maintenance office
But they sort of deaf ear now
Should I be more aggressive ?
Would this provoke the upstairs to drag chair even more ?
I have some chair felt gliders bought from ace hardware
Thinking of passing to MO to pass to this fella
But they not 100% stop chair drag noise

move into unit above them

How is it people still don't know this?

The sound of dragging chair, marble dropping, door slamming, running footsteps, all those aren't what you think they are.

It's the sound of various parts of the building contracting and water pipes.

But talk to a superstitious and they'll say it's 👻

Or if you want and you have somewhere else you can sleep (preferable) or can sufficiently soundproof your room, set up a CCTV outside your house that sends a feed to your phone, then play music as loudly and obnoxiously as possible while you occupy yourself with other things. Do this for three days to a week, and if they try to bang on your door to get you to stop, use the CCTV footage and send it to the police or to management office.

But before you do that, hope that it's actually your neighbors dragging chairs and not some other thing happening lol.

Aiyo most of the sound coming from utilities install inside the wall. The obvious sound comes from water hammer happening inside the water pipe running up and down. Material expands is also one of the culprits.
Some are echo sounds from the mechanical room.

TRUE STORY: Happened to me earlier this year.

I live in landed property. Terrace house.

One day my neighbour suddenly approached me and asked why I kept on banging on the wall adjacent to her room every night at around 11pm.

There are 4 rooms in my house and that room is empty.

Everyone is asleep at that hour.

I explained to her that the room is vacant and she was adamant . She kept on insisting that I or one of my family members deliberately banged the wall every night.

My take on this: most probably she has been disturbed my ghosts or something.

I honestly feel sorry for her but I could not do anything.

Chair dragging is obvious so it's okie.....things like...stomping maybe is not that obvious but if you hear it enough ,it gets damn annoying. And dropping of things in the wee hours of the night, not once, not twice but every 5-10 mins, you know when you're about to fall asleep and suddenly something wake you up.....?

Most of all, I am annoyed cause I can't sleep. Can't help it that I am a light sleeper.

Secondly, what kinda human beings run around and make so much noise till 4 am every other night?

Move out I guess. These things are normal when it comes to highrise.

Unless you want to sound-proof your enter house, ceiling, walls, floors etc.

How the heck can you be treaspass when you haven’t entered their unit ? Your upstairs neighbor must be retarded

I never believe in plastering my ceiling, what for ? I knew there be noise upstairs and this shows I don’t own my ceiling

Yeah my MO is just as retarded as yours. They drag like every 2 hours and MO expect me to sit there in middle of the night holding on to my hand phone recording
Even then my phone got storage limitation
The guard and MO are stupid dumb fack

I managed to record but I have issue to paste on gmail and send it out even have issue to compress the giant file. As you said lah after recording also sounded very soft.

When was it ?
Before raya ?
Well I hint to you
Probably cooking before day time come

Try take 1mg melatonin
Don’t take those slow release ones
Or more than 1 mg else you feel drowsy
And expose urself to car accident
Or you can cut the pill into half

Toilet sound
When they are brushing teeth and use ceramic cup put on your toilet granite tiles

Ppl who say dropping things sound is water pipe movement must be taking weed because they never live in condo before

I know a water pipe sound banging when I hear one

Perhaps you could invest in some ear plugs to drown out the loud sounds in the meantime while you figure out a more permanent solution? Can buy from Lazada.

Maybe try soundproofing your bedroom walls and ceilings.

Egg cartons can be used for DIY soundproofing projects too.
