Talk to your condo management and if they’re not useless, they’ll do something about it. I’m facing the same issue with my next door and upstairs neighbors due to the shitty soundproofing in my condo.

Once I get the chance, will be selling my unit and stick to renting.

Get MO and the JMB to mediate on your behalf, especially since you’ve been living there for 18 years. It’s your right to enjoy your unit in peace and quiet....as for my issue, it’s bloody kids who’re making the noise, stomping all over the place. Have made many complaints already- the sounds have lessened a bit but okay lah, give and take a bit during mco 2.0.

I bought this new condo from the developer as an early bird buyer...if I had known my upstairs and next door neighbors would be families with small kids, would have bought a unit on the highest floor. Renting is easier...at least you can break your tenancy if the noise gets too much, and you can survey your neighbors before plucking down money to buy a unit in that development.

If only Malaysia had a condo built especially for working professionals with no kids allowed lol!

Sounds like your neighbors are reasonable and willing to take action on improving the noises. If it happens again, just call management again or call the guards and meet your neighbor face to face. They will usually be more responsive when they can put a face to the stranger living below them (as per my experience).

I can already tell the family above is expanding, so for the sake of my sanity, have already planned my exit strategy.

Hmmm....if you had to talk to them a couple of times, they’re just being assholes. Hope the threat of a fine will deter them.

Sad to say, a few days ago, my neighbors’ kids upstairs started their jumping and stomping again, even after midnight. The funny thing is I bought some mats to give to them, as a gesture of goodwill, but their parents refuse to use it....so petty, right? That’s when I knew how insincere they really were.

Landed also has it’s share of problems...my relative’s next door neighbors installed a subwoofer or a sound bar so you can imagine how loud it gets when they watch a movie.

I’m planning to rent a top floor unit at a pricier condo. Hopefully, that would weed out the trash.

I need this!

You use this to hit the ceiling? I’ve resorted to hitting the ceiling with my mop when I hear them stomping. Stubborn brats and idiotic parents.

Amazing how shitty the soundproofing is in our condos that you can hear noises a few floors above you. For me, the culprits are definitely my next door and upstairs neighbors.

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.
