Not sure if some condos have other materials instead of concrete between floors. Have a friend staying in a condo, he owns a subwoofer, and when he plays music or movies, he don't seem to get any complaints from neighbors. I would imagine a subwoofer to produce more vibrations and sound compared to footsteps right.

your statement seems to remind people to be afraid of lawyer or not to mess with lawyer, even though you are suffering.
remember you hire a lawyer yourself.
what makes you think your own lawyer is inferior to him?

Impact sound meaning must 'strike' on the concrete.

Nothing to be afraid. Just get oneself prepared.

Know your opponent b4 strike.

B4 you punch someone on the face, make sure you are able to take a punch back.

It is always nice to ask people to sue because we are not paying the legal fees !

Must further pay money to professional to gather evidence that the sound came from the unit.

Without proof, the court will throw out the case !

sound may not travel, but impact to concrete will, like drilling the wall, banging the door, etc etc

if you dont wanna meet him, maybe you can write down a letter.. explain to him very nicely, spray perfume some more.. some people willing to accept if you talk to them nicely.. tak perlu gaduh2..

that is real life if you are staying at apartment, flat, condo etc.. for sure sometime it's unavoidable especially for those who have hyper active kids..

Actually ha..been dealing with this issue for the past few years so I think the only solution is to move out.

Ive been moving here n there, and I realise actually everywhere u stay macam the same. Can be ok for awhile then if u meet noisy people as ur neighbour then u gotta move again. The unit Ive been staying was ok for the last 3 years, now arh. Fr morning til abt 3am will hv children footsteps run around, stomps, close door banging, even toilet they flush or open the tap for the eeeaaak sound also have. They also push chair around got scraping noise and also play skates in the house hence got rolling noise. Then worse still midnight got ppl come home start using woofer i think coz i can hear and feel the vibration when i try to sleep every few mins got booom booom

I think instead of showing ur muscle to the offender, why dont u try being nice. It may or may not work but since u already complain and it didnt work try the nice approach? Buy some chocolates go upstairs and talk to him if possible

Am tired of moving frankly, but I think if u really wan 0 noise maybe hv to move to another place but..it may start all over again for u 1 day. Even the best condos like mont kiara (single units per floor) and desaparkcity (boast of good workmanship) also my friends also face same issue. Mana2 sama je...orang punya pasal

Even landed also got such issue. (Any landed care to comment?)

My own experience staying high rise in my whole life.

When you hear stomping sound, furniture dragging sound, drilling, water pipe sound, and the marble boucing sound in the midnight, they could have originated from another location, not your direct above neighbor.

How do I know it? Because I found that my direct above unit is vacant. Sound and vibration could traveling far.

There's nothing you can do unless you move out to landed house. That's the life of living high rise. You have to bear with noises most of the time.

you reacting emotionally only make things worst
you hurt his ego and he going to retaliate more
try slow talk if can, its hard but can be effective

I have the same trouble before i decided no more high rise apartment for me. Now settling at landed home already. I talk to the guy upstairs but noise are from his kid playing (below 12 years old). Lucky i rented the unit before moving to landed house.

Landed > ALL
U want peace, move out, go buy landed house.
There are tonnes of complain about condo/apartment/flat consider yourself unlucky.

Minor irritation can seem like end if the world to some. Who is so free to stomp around the whole day. Probably exercing in his unit occasionaly due to pandemic like many others.

If the noises are from your neighbours going about their normal lives like walking, flushing toilet and opening/closing door and kids playing it is pointless to complain. Firstly, your complaints will get nowhere. Secondly, you make them angry and they will escalate the sounds to annoy you. Blame the developers instead for cheap construction.

However if the noises are from playing loud music and partying late at night, then you can complain and get some action taken.

I wonder what if buy the highest floor then. Would it be no noise then since no one is above?

From personal experience the sounds from unit directly below is just as loud as from unit above so there is no escape. This also means that if only one unit is complaining about noise then he is probably oversensitive.

Maybe TS first time living condo.

Noises from music we can't complain unless it's still playing over 12 midnight. My neighbor sing karaoke I sing also. They boom their speaker I boom also. See who louder.

If TS really cannot take it, consider landed property as your next home if affordable

Wahhh...scary lo....above unit vacant.
Maybe above vacant unit is the portal to next world.
