How do i approach my noisy neighbour??

Question

They live below us and all i can ever hear is their TV - I knocked on their door today but they didn't hear me!! Any suggestions on what to do would be appreciated!

Answer 1

Two ways actually, one there is Noise Etiquette that should be outlined in your lease, if you rent of course, that states you can't be noisy because of the neighbors. You can bring it up to the landlord. Two, you can approach them when they are outside and bring it into the conversation, be nice about it as to not create hostility. A simple, sometimes I can hear your television, would you mind turning it down a bit please.

Answer 2

try and catch them going in or just leaving and mention it politely say the floors are very thin and you can hear their tv above yours.
if you don't get any joy that way you will have to try the nasty way and that is to report the matter to the council they should set up some equipment in your flat to detect the noise levels carry on as normal in your home. after a week the equipment will be collected and analysed if it is found they are too noisy then they are in breach of tenancy contract and will be evicted.

how do i know this, I had this problem with a neighbour with his music all hours of the day and night, hammering on the wall at 2 am. partying during the week when i was working, drove me nuts but instead of kicking the F**k out of him i reported him, had done what was neccesary and he was evicted.

Answer 3

Put a polite note through the door as they might not realise that you can hear their TV.
I used to have neighbours above me who were shocking, they used to knock on my living room window in the middle of the night if they had forgot their keys and were constantly banging around, they once left their bath running and flooded the whole flat. I moved eventually becuase the landlords were also rubbish.

i could attempt to introduce myself to her first and basically factor out which you paintings LOOONGGG hours and pass to mattress early at night and have been getting under pressure sleep that's why you haven't any longer had a gamble to fulfill her or something like that. basically be diffused. If it maintains pass to the administration and if all else fails call the police! I had a neighbor in my duplex that replaced into noisy so I despatched them a bottle of wine introducing my self with a no longer apologizing for my nostril point and that i think they have been given the hint and have been so great to me and infrequently ever made andy noise different than on Friday and Saturday night which wasn't that lots noise in any respect.

Answer 5

Slip a note under the door or in the mail slot, if that doesn't work send a copy of the note along with other information to the landlord.

Answer 6

You are doing the right thing call on them. just explain that you know the walls and that are paper thin but could you kindly turn your tv down slighty and go on to say that you are sure they must hear you sometimes and you apologise for that. keep it friendly try and sort this out between you both first. But if that dont work call the council they will send them a letter.
I had the same problem

Answer 7

Be careful. I put a note through the door of my neighbour to move a bike and she went ballistic. Funny part was that the following week she was broken into and I was the only one that called the Police. She had to eat humble pie that day. Quite funny.

Answer 8

With caution! Whatever your annoyance, try to be calm. They may not realise that they are creating a noise. They may be hard of hearing or the acoustics of the building may not be good. It is surprising that even a normal level of volume can be heard in other parts of some building structures. So try to have a friendly chat with these possibilities in mind.

Answer 9

Sounds like you live in an apartment, let the leasing office know. Complain to management often and loudly. I bang a chair on my floor, or stomp on my floor with boots on, that quietens my crazy loud stereo playing neighbors for the time being. I might sound pretty crazy too, but I was upset. I still let the manager know that the violators, should be reminded of the rules regarding noise and being considerate of others.

Answer 10

Speak to the building manager. You might not want to go knocking on their door as you may not know what to expect. They can go crazy and hurt you. Rather tell the caretaker. Or else phone the police. Always shocks them. If they are rude people though, they'll keep doing it just to spite you.
