I understand is difficult to tolerate noisy neighours. If you focus your mind on other nice things instead of 'looking' for noise to hear, you be less stressful. As time passes, you will tolerate the noise and accept the fact that you cant change your neighbour. If what I suggested cannot work, then moving out is your only solution. If your MO cannot help, I wonder how can we forumers help. The replied are merely copy and paste from your previous or others threads. Have a nice cool beer at the balcony and look out for some nice neighbour chicks to enjoy the view. Dont stare too long thou as the husband might throw an empty can over ! gobiomani, galaxy_hunter91, and 3 others liked this post

Just think of it. Who would be so free and energetic to pull chairs every hour? As others said, it's not chair pulling sound but water hammer sound. As for your "video evidence" they are probably just audio recordings. You can't videograph people inside their apartments. gobiomani and ericangtzeann liked this post

Normally if I'm in your scenario, I will fight fire with fire. I am great at revenge and are vengeful in nature. I will probably use broom stick to knock on the ceiling at random time and MUCH higher frequency than your top neighbor. I could do it all day until they give up first. no problem. kmmsa liked this post

infrared incandescent or heat lamp, color lowish kelvin around 1000-2000k, 100 to 150 watts.
buy 5, buy another 5 stands that can reach the ceiling. Now, run reconassaince, you're looking for tilam on floor positioning or multiple individuals in a room scenario + timeframe. But it doesn't matter that much, heat irradiates outward and travels up. Run it 8 hrs, rest 3 hrs, repeat, blast these tracks 1 hour in if you've good speakers for best effects. |

Most condos now want to save costs, so they floor it very thin. Old condos rarely will experience this because thick ceiling/floor. So everytime you neighbour goes to toilet or move away from his pc, he will drag the chair, hence the noise. Next time stay in terrace house. Or check the condo floor thickness before renting.

Do a google search la. So many years living in high rise building still think upper unit noisy. So many reason contributing to the sound. Go live in landed property la. Until you have a video showing the tenant dragging chair at 2 am just live with it la. Next time find condo build using bricks not concrete.

My upstairs neighbour everytime use the bathroom sink must on and off the tap many times. The tap is the old school turning type, it is making a lot of noise. It must be so worn because it sounded like it needs to be screwed very tight when turning off.
I have to bear with the noise every night because he has the habit of using the sink near mid night. This post has been edited by barista: Jun 17 2021, 08:20 AM |

What's more irritating for TS is how some people is adamant that the noise he's hearing is 100% water hammer or other building noises and there's no chance the upstairs neighbour is really dragging their furniture or making noise.
What I can agree though is that it could've been from units higher up, unless your unit is already the second highest. If it's from higher units, the upstairs neighbour would've claimed they're hearing it too when approached instead of saying they did nothing. |

Marsiling residents fight over 'pungent' cooking smells, neighbour told to cook only 3 times a day. Both neighbours eventually agreed that the complainee can only cook from 10:30am-12.30pm, 4pm-6pm, and 8pm-10pm. Lean Jinghui| May 30, 2021, 07:56 PM Two neighbours went for mediation of their dispute at the Community Mediation Centre (CMC), after one complained about the "pungent" smell from the other neighbour's cooking. According to Shin Min Daily News, this neighbourly conflict happened between two units at Blk 26 Marsiling Drive. Neighbour upstairs complained about "oily smoke" every day Wang Meixue (translated directly from Chinese), who's a 61-year-old housewife, told Shin Min Daily News that her neighbour seemed to enjoy cooking curry, fried fish, chicken wings, and many more dishes every single day. The "pungent smell of oily smoke" often drifted up to her apartment, permeating the entire living room and bedrooms, she claimed. As a result, they had to close their windows every day. She said that this situation had continued for five to six years, and that she had complained about the family multiple times to the town council, even reporting it to the police for more than 10 times. Unable to resolve the dispute between them, the matter was eventually raised to the CMC. Both neighbours eventually came to an agreement for the family living in the unit downstairs to only cook at three specified timings in the day: 10:30am-12.30pm, 4pm-6pm, and 8pm-10pm. But Wang claimed that her neighbour broke the agreement after two weeks. Claimed that the smell has affected her entire family. Additionally, as her daughter has just gotten pregnant, she said that she is worried about the effect of the smoke on the fetus. She added that as they had to close the windows, resulting in the lack of air circulation in the apartment, the heat is often unbearable. She also claimed that her son, who is working from home, is unable to concentrate on his work properly due to the heat. The other side: Cooking for a family of eight. On the other hand, the neighbour downstairs explained to Shin Min that she needed to cook for the whole family, which comprises herself, her husband, and six kids. She said: "Why is it wrong to cook in my own home? I have a lot of family members, which is why I need to cook for a longer time." The neighbour, who declined to be named, added that her family is also worn out from the lengthy dispute. She told Shin Min that she had been abiding by the resolution set out by the CMC ever since both parties came to an agreement. This meant that her family often had to wait to eat breakfast, even if they were hungry, as she could only begin cooking at 10:30am, she added. Subsequent disagreements? According to Wang, who claimed that her neighbours downstairs had not abided by the specified timings when cooking, she could no longer hold in her anger and yelled at them from her unit. This led her neighbours to rush up to her unit, banging on her door and shouting at her family, she said. Both parties subsequently got into a shouting match. Wang said that she had only told her neighbours that they could not cook yet, while her neighbour complained that Wang had interrupted her husband's sleep. |

Speak to owner, ask. Management to force owner to terminate their contract when the time comes.
If u r renting and upstair is owner, den u hv to move out. He stays there, u can't ask. Him to move. U must be living in 20 to 30 yrs old building. Get a lawyer to settle it. U have the right to have peace of time in your living area. |

U must be living in 20 to 30 yrs old building. Get a lawyer to settle it. U have the right to have peace of time in your living area. Even lawyers are hesitant when taking up these cases as the noise source can be argued to have originated from elsewhere. |

Actually, the TS can make a police report with the evidence he's gathered. He can also scare them by getting a lawyer to issue a demand of notice and perhaps sue them, if they still refuse to behave. |

This happens in Condos especially when there kids running around. Thin floored condos, you can hear the kids running upstairs. Sometimes they will pull the chair or table.
Adults also will make noise when they get up from the PC chair, get up from makan table. and so on. Rent a terrace house. Only rent a condo when the unit above you is empty or less occupied. The water pump sound and water hose sound is still bearable, but the furniture pulling is irritating. This post has been edited by duplicated: Jun 17 2021, 03:37 PM |

Only the rich do legal lawsuit because they have bottomless pit. Some rich do lawsuit even though they wrong because they know they can put the poor under stress. My condo has a nuisance law...that if got evidence can fine the owner who rent to tenant. Maybe if keep fine the owner.. owner dun pay..haha can cut water or electricity I lived in Australia...I notice people stay in condo are very expressful of their peaceful rights. I once had attended a party at my fren place. He invited 20 of us. Dun think we were running or what. We were just sitting there having snacks n talk ghost stories. Siddenly the aussie owner downstairs was pissed with us due to noise. Only 1130pm...he call the guards to chase us out. Our friend who rented the place was visibly afraid. In Australia they respect this kind of things. |

Sometimes the stomping sound may not originate directly from the unit upstair, depending on how the condo is built, it can originate from the common walkway. The vibration on the common walkway can travel through the floor slab or any structural steel and from below, it can be heard as if it happened directly upthere.
Furniture dragging noise can also be caused by loose piping, even vibrating pipe can cause hacking/knocking noise. Remember the pipe is pressurized from the water pump, so any turn on/off will cause it to vibrate. And sometimes, not turning the faucet fully on may cause it to vibrate non-stop. Again, depending on the condo construction, some noise may exhibit like this or in any other ways. So it's not always your neighbour dragging furniture or stomping their feet. |

I have no idea why people tend to keep saying marble & furniture sound are all from ghosts. YOU'RE THE GHOST. I have been disturbed by neighbors from one place to another and I can tell you all these are caused by bastards. Previously was the worst , every single night, downstairs neighbor who has 3 toddlers non-stop playing screaming and shouting in the room I can hear them clearly, and yet they dont admit, and they doing it on purpose cause we have been complaining for so long. They know we hear them and yet keep doing still, then the parents also nonstop dragging the chairs until we cannot tahan then moved out. We had been disturbed them for 5 freaking years, even reported to police. Then currently this new place, I'm already at 2nd highest floor, yet the stupid upstairs neighbor, 2 chinese 2 indians, renting rooms, each of them have 1 dining chairs for their "work station". Imagine they everyday nonstop walking already causing heavy footsteps noise, dont know why can ppl walk so loud like elephant, keep pushing and dragging the chair when they get up or sit down. Oh, they also like to move the chairs everywhere, into the room etc, and they dont sleep, saw them cooking during 3AM too. Dont freaking tell me it's ghost cause all these doings are by freaking human. Especially got visitors. Not to mention also, recently they vacuum after 12AM. Complaint them several times, bodoh punya lansi owner came tell us, "aiya the flooring of the building is very thin, is like that one, got ppl stay sure got noise. We use office chair got wheel one leh". The first time when got noise I already went up talk to them nicely saw them using all dining chairs, still wanna lie. At last, quiet for a month, asked them to use the felt pad for their chairs, then immediately told us they have bought the felt pad, but then after a month, the noise came back. So they lied, never buy at all. Wow, but at least not as noisy before, but still I'll monitor, I have a feeling they will be noisy again. mataharih liked this post

Wow, this topic seems to be popular & the problem seems appearing over & over.
Back at year 2009, I was introduced to an acosutic technology known as sound masking. One the O&G gweilou wanted to installed the so called sound masking devices it at their new operation office. This sound masking device is a sound generator which generates wide range of sounds at different range of frequencies. The layman term being used when the qweilou elaborated on how it works was, when 1 or 2 peoples are talking, we can hear their conversations as interrupting because we can understand what they are talking unwillingly, we can't block the sound becasue the sound travels. When we get more & more sounds of talking by making it up via artificiallly generated to 200~300 conversations at on time (using sound masking ), our brain cannot process so many sounds at once go, it actually make us "less intelligent" and the sorrounding sounds appear to be less disturbing. I believe there should be a similar sound masking technology / devices in the market to cater for the sounds issue for the high rise community. If you have already tried all methods & still not working , may be give this a try. I personally never tried but the gweilou said very effective. |

It is an extra low voltage (ELV) device. ELV have the least risk of fire hazard to my knowledge.

have you tried posting angry notes on their door/ in their mailbox?
I've done this on a couple of noisy tenants and it worked. If they still stubborn, stick more and more notes until their mailbox full and their door is covered Wanna do extra, use super glue. then the ugly remains of the paper stuck on their door |

Those here who said ghosts probably said that because of self-guilt denial. Meaning they got complaints on them before, so they try to blame the ghosts. Guilt denial.
If you want to stay in a condo, try to stay in a place where the flooring is thick. Some condos have thick flooring. But the newer ones are thin because they want to save costs. That's why most want to stay in landed property, don't have to worry about above tenants noise. Some bought the top floor or pent house because of this too. |

6 pages of you're basically fucked TS.
If you weren't expecting this problem when purchasing a highrise unit sandwich between hundreds of tenants, well guess what ... welcome to the jungle. in all seriousness, I just want to participate in this discussion because I too have been on the receiving and giving end of this. I ask for my neighbors forgiveness , for I am too guilty of rocking the bed furiously over the weekend and occasionally the 2nd and 3rd week's Wednesday and Thursday. |

That's the condo life I guess. It all truly depends on luck. You could be getting horror neighbors from left, right, upstairs which could cause you mental breakdown.
Confronting doesn't work? Either move out or pay someone more gangster than you to do the dirty work. |

Jokes on you, why does the so called "water hammer sound" comes from the ceiling instead of the walls? Why does the so called hammer water sound, can move from living room to bedroom?? And why do I hear footsteps followed by the dragging noise? Cause it's a freaking chair la! Use some common sense la , MOST BORING ANSWER - WATER HAMMER SOUND. They use the toilet I also can hear, how come when they use the toilet I dont hear any so called water hammer sound? Seriously it's damn dumb answer, just because you people dont experience this doesnt mean it's not. And yes, my upstairs neighbor knowing it will annoy us so they do it on purpose. mataharih liked this post

If yes, my downstairs already come complaint me. Cause my upstairs is indeed super duper noisy. Usually at night we just lay on the bed on sit on the sofa watching tv / scrolling on phone, we dont freaking make noise, so i wonder what kind of people get super active at night like them. I even woke up in around 3am and they are still doing stuffs and cooking cause I saw it. And walking nonstop throughout the day dragging chairs all. |

People be saying water hammer sound cause you never experience it, I even went up confronted them and it's their freaking chair make noise and they completely ignored us and do it still, if moving out is easy, then this kind of post wont even exist. Nowadays all these high rise buildings soundproof is extremely bad. So yea, people who experience it like us can only just rant it. I know how a water hammer sound sounds like from my previous condo, a chair is a chair.

QUOTE(NekoMomo @ Oct 7 2021, 10:48 AM) LOL, we are educated people and we think for other ppl's sake, we dont drag the chair, instead we lift it up, we do things softly we don't slam the door etc, we dont vacuum at 12am onwards and we dont walk loudly like elephants. If yes, my downstairs already come complaint me. Cause my upstairs is indeed super duper noisy. Usually at night we just lay on the bed on sit on the sofa watching tv / scrolling on phone, we dont freaking make noise, so i wonder what kind of people get super active at night like them. I even woke up in around 3am and they are still doing stuffs and cooking cause I saw it. And walking nonstop throughout the day dragging chairs all. haha yep, my downstairs also complain me, now we do things quietly, but whatever noise she just claim come from us.the issue is she is night owl, don't sleep at night, day time if we walk, do stuff, then will woke her up. but during wee hour, she makes a lot of noise too, like knocking her bloom to the wall while sweeping, cooking and so on, but usually i sleep like a log, but sometimes i go toilet I can hear those noise. |

I avoid houses with kids above. They like to drag furniture, run around, very noisy.
Always check before renting if the above house got kids (if the flooring is thin). Best if the above house is empty. |

If you say until vacuuming also neighbour or top/bottom fella can hear then it’s really a shitty situation la. Because it’s just vacuum and its not even loud, like that already disturb neighbour, i open my speakers louder then a vacuum sound on a daily basis.
So yeah, you’re basically shit out of luck if the neighbour above is not civilized. But don’t think it’s all dreamy for landed house also, at least a good location semi-d/bungalow. If its just a typical linked house, also 2x5 la, hugely depends on neighbour, your toilet, rooms, living area is just seperated by a 6inch~ thick wall, right beside you left and right. |

You are lucky if you get such unit on top. And try to avoid agreement that is 1 year fixed contract. Meaning you have to forfeit your deposit if you move out within the year. Sometimes the house got problem that's why they implement such a term. Try to find for contracts that give you one or two months notice. With that, you can move out easily. Deposit will be given back. This post has been edited by duplicated: Oct 8 2021, 03:23 PM |

To be fair you can't expect your neighbours to tip toe around their apartment just to please you. If normal activities like pulling a chair to sit on or get up, walking, vacuuming, opening and closing doors and kids playing disturbs you, you may be extra sensitive to noise and not suited to staying in an apartment. Not everybody sleeps at 12.00am. It doesn't help that many apartment walls and floors are very thin now. If your neighbour makes noise intentionally to annoy you, you have a case but if they are just going about their normal activities your complaint will fall on deaf ears because what else can they do? To them they are just behaving normally.

similar experience here when move into high rise unit:
at some point of the time, i will hear "dragging" sound from my upper unit. the "Dragging" sound will happen for an extend of time, initially i was really annoyed and puzzled , like, what the heck is the upper unit doing. until myself start vacuum my own unit , then only realize the similarity, that dragging sound is high chance from the vacuum machine head's wheel , moving around the floor, just that the vacuum sound do not reach me (all our unit comes with wood floor layer), most likely vacuum sound is not loud enough to penetrate the floor when compare to wheel dragging against the floor. no reason to complain for my case , unless the noise start like , early morning 1 am or 2 am like that |

To them they are just behaving normally. So by right, people playing loud music or kids jumping, banging, running and stomping past midnight when people are trying to sleep is okay to you? It may be their normal behavior but when this behavior intrudes with other people’s peace and quiet, than they’re just being assholes. Apartments mean communal living so people should respect their neighbors and take heed of the complaints. We’re not staying here for free.Fine, the vacuum and pulling of chairs is every day noise but if someone already complained about the dragging of chairs, a sane and normal person, who cares about others, would try to improve and minimize the noise. Not keep on dragging and annoying others to the point it affects their mental health. I hate lame excuses like this…just reminds me that Malaysian’s standards are below the bar because they are too selfish and only care about themselves. NekoMomo liked this post

Seems like all newly built condos, even the pricier ones, are cutting costs by making the floor thin. I think condos built around year 200x should still be fine. But later ones mostly have thin floors. |

QUOTE(sammm33 @ Oct 10 2021, 11:33 PM) nono for my case the dragging noise happen only around evening or late evening (after dinner time) so im good. Yes that I can accept too, cause we know it's dinner time and they're using the dining chair, but mine always happen past 10pm, it's not daily ya, but sure got few days a week. Sometimes in the bedroom sometimes in the living room, then push the chair like every 20secs to 2 minutes, it's so irritating, even daytime also, push like that for 2 hours straight. For what leh ? If u say they drag for like once a twice I can accept, but its constantly dragging up to hours.if this happen around like normal human sleeping time (after 11pm), i sure complain this to management. Even tho there's no dragging noise but also noisy, dropping things walking here and there. Already complaint but useless |

I agree, but developers just dont care, they want to build it fast and with low cost, they dont even care about parking space d (condos nowadays comes with only 1 carpark). So I doubt they will make flooring thick Seems like all newly built condos, even the pricier ones, are cutting costs by making the floor thin.

Like I said, we quiet people, past dinner time usually sit down watch tv or laying on bed etc, but I just dont know why some people gets so active at night, so inconsiderate. |

Already complaint but useless Any chance to take a peak and get to know what is happening over there especially after late night ? Is it possible that this is kids playing around ? Don't think is vacuum cuz 2 hours is way too long , and timing also too weird to do cleaning... |

Just purchase the stick on stickers for furniture and give it FOC to your neighbours complimentary. Ask them to stick onto the legs of the chairs.
They will get the message and (hopefully) they will realize, |

He cannot sit quietly, he has to do something, hammering the wall, doing some DIY stuff all the time. So just pray that we get civilized neighbors. Like I said, we quiet people, past dinner time usually sit down watch tv or laying on bed etc, but I just dont know why some people gets so active at night, so inconsiderate. If you get this kind of guy as your upstairs neighbor then you are really unlucky. Another kind is those who do online business. So they will prepare the parcels, goods arriving, arranging goods, assembling goods, etc. So, expect a lot of noise from these guys constantly. |

Of course we would know the difference between inconsiderate motherfuckers acting like monkeys in their units vs piping/structural noises. Always making excuses for their kind - low class and low EQ…god help them.This post has been edited by mataharih: Oct 11 2021, 04:26 PM |

QUOTE(Luciferus @ Oct 10 2021, 04:48 PM) my area landed house all civilized. no noise. of course elite areas la. i think rude and noisy neighbors happen at m40 and b40 areas. elite t20 people enjoy peace and quiet so we respect each other. I agree with this, actually. T20 are mostly educated people with busy working lives, thus they require peace and quiet. When I stayed overseas and in high class areas, never had any noise issues. Only having an issue now staying in a m40/b40 area - I regret everyday buying this stupid place just because it’s close to the city centre.Moral of the story is…make sure you buy a place above RM1mil to avoid low class and rude lowlifes.

QUOTE(duplicated @ Oct 11 2021, 01:56 AM) How do we encourage the developers to make thick floor again? I definitely think you're right. I've lived in condos and apartments since my student days from 2003 and have never experienced this kind of noise until I bought my own condo and am losing sleep almost daily. Confronted neighbor upstairs so many times and they'd be quiet for a few days after the complaint and then start to get noisy again. And later when I confronted them again they said it's not them and continues to make noise. If I go to bed around 12am and managed to fall asleep quick then it's fine. They usually start their going to bed activities around 1am and God forbid if I also start going to bed close to 1am I'd be hearing all kinds of foot stomping, door slamming x5 at least, toilet flushing etc ughhhhhSeems like all newly built condos, even the pricier ones, are cutting costs by making the floor thin. I think condos built around year 200x should still be fine. But later ones mostly have thin floors. |

Also, I've measured my ceiling heights of my living room vs bedroom because the noise is a lot more prominent in the bedroom.
What I found was the bedroom floor to ceiling is 5cm (or 2 inches) MORE than the living room floor to ceiling height. The entire floor surface is flat from living to bedroom. So if my understanding is right, the bedroom ceiling (or my upstairs floor) is 2 inches thinner. Seriously that is a LOT of thickness being sacrificed for unknown reasons |

If it bothers you that much, look into soundproofing your ceiling. Reckon it wont cost much, i stay in landed, i even invested to sound proof my windows.What I found was the bedroom floor to ceiling is 5cm (or 2 inches) MORE than the living room floor to ceiling height.

You will probably be ignored. People are not expected to tip toe around just to make you happy. Have you thought that the problem may be that you are too sensitive to noise?But this new tenant, very young, very skinny, but walking like king kong seriously no joke.

Have you thought that the problem may be that you are too sensitive to noise? I just wonder la, if I was waken up by the heavy footsteps from my deep sleep, is it because im being too sensitive? Or is it they're being too loud? Not asking you to tip toe, but why walking so much in the middle of the night, when it's so quiet? And why using all your strength to just walk? It's not any of the time during daytime but it's in the middle of the night. Those footsteps noise is like people using a rubber hammer and constantly hacking on the floor it goes 'bom bom bom bom bom", you get what i mean? |

It's not any of the time during daytime but it's in the middle of the night. Exactly the same situation now. The kids running and jumping early in the morning and randomly at day time. Then 6pm to 10 pm, basically running, jumping, dragging things, dropping things. Those footsteps noise is like people using a rubber hammer and constantly hacking on the floor it goes 'bom bom bom bom bom", you get what i mean? After few complaints, the upstairs came to bang my door at night yelled at me that he tahan me for long time, thus shouted at me with vulgar language. Yet he repeats it more vigorously after this. This is how Malaysian behave nowadays |

Are u owner or tenant?
If the later, just move out to a landed unit after your period is over. The noise in high rise is never ending. |
