Our condo is crap, what to do ?

do you see any insulation ? just concrete and concrete is not insulation.

imagine you are living in a submarine in the ocean. If somebody hammer from one end of submarine, you will sure hear on the other side. sound travels easily through the steel, same goes with concrete.

Compared to brickwalls, concrete transmit noise readily due to the material.

Oh yeah, definitely confirmed assholes this one. On the day they were visited by the guards they didn't immediately stop. It was followed by 3 hours of miscellaneous noises, stomping lah, screeching furniture lah etc.. so yes, ASSHOLES. Anyways, they were quiet for the first week after the chat but now they're slowly coming back with new noises. Last few days have been hammering/knocking in the kitchen area in the mornings and evenings.  dry.gif

Yeah, my friend who stays at landed has a neighbour who started rearing chickens and ducks, and because of the animals poop now got rats! Haaaa... so you choose, noise pollution or pest and smell pollution?  doh.gif

Sometimes the noise can be due to mortar and pestle noise.. laugh.gif

There is no perfect solution but mass and dampening is required to reduce the noise transmission from upper unit.

Generally in short I would say using rockwool sheets BEFORE/whilst installing plaster ceiling will help.

Oh, thanks... hmmmm but somehow I don't think this solution would work. Sound also travels from ceiling to walls. Have you tried this before?

Am looking into it for the purpose of heat insulation. Not so much as noise reduction, but rockwool does have noise insulation properties.
Concrete walls do allow sound to travel.

Conductor of Impact Noise
While many people choose concrete as their designated building material based on its hardness and durability, it’s this very quality that prevents concrete from improving acoustical performance.
If you have a concrete floor, you may notice that every step produces an audible sound. Impact noises are a byproduct of concrete’s rigidity, which transforms movement into an audible experience. While undesirable, these noisy manifestations can be eliminated with a few soundproofing measures.

Wow, your neighbor sounded crazy! Who even works out at that time unless they worked the night shift.

How do you handle stubborn neighbors though? Slamming the door is okay since it’s once in awhile but the stomping noises is just annoying and sounds like hammering. Been calling the guards to sound them and even went up there myself, when it got so bad.

Maybe I’ll need to file another complaint with MO or go up there with one of the JMB members.

This one just adjust two screw of the door closer (assume this is standard for condo main door/fire code) and it will be soft close.
Its also not good to have it close fast.. finger smashed once, then will be lifelong lesson.
