My husband and I got married in January this year.

When we first moved into our condo (Penang), we noticed intermittent screaming and noises coming from the space adjacent to our living room, especially at night. We later found out that the source of the noise was caused by our neighbour’s child, who has autism.

Yes, we did sympathise the kid. Therefore we have tried to ignore and tolerate the noise for 6 months, however, this child’s screaming, screeching and playing of keys at random time of day is taking a toll on my mental and emotional health. I can't sleep well. This has occurred to the point that I can no longer enjoy my personal time and space at the condo. It is very upsetting.

We have been tolerating this disturbance, hoping that the situation will improve following our complaint made to the guard/management but the situation proved otherwise.

We have talked to the child’s mother and had hoped that they could cooperate and minimize the noise level but nothing has changed. Loud clinking of keys are still heard intermittently throughout the day. We talked to the mother for the second time but the mother was defensive and uncooperative. We even suggest some alternatives for them i.e: let the kid plays with other stuff that don't make so much noise, or go to the room and play. But they are unwilling to compromise.

We are already stressed and tired emotionally dealing with this situation, yet our condo management/guard are not helping us to resolve this. We were told to accept, in other words, to tolerate this disturbance simply because of the child’s condition. It is unfair for us to endure this disturbance on a daily basis.

I think I am going to go crazy soon  cry.gif
Any advice on how to deal with this situation?
Thank you for your time to read this post.

Can request them to put egg trays on the wall. (for cheap solution)

But a better way is to share the cost to install some sort of sound proofing solution.

Settle It amicably

bruh i have a 25+ autistic neighbor son who have a tendency to sing karaoke on mic non stop.
at first it was kinda annoying especially he sings early in the morning on a weekend, but then after a few months i kinda got use to it, my ear somehow just filter out the noise lol
he still does this occasionally tho, but i usually spend my days away from the house anyway so it doesn't bother me much

Just like Mosques in Tamans.

I already filter out and can sleep like a baby.
