How can I get back at my upstairs neighbors?

Question

MY upstairs neighbors are SOOOOO loud and kept me up all night.......I know it is easier to be loud to the ones below you but how can I be loud to the ones upstairs!!?!?!

Answer 1

Ask them nicely to turn down the noise after .. say 10pm so that you can sleep...

If this does not work, talk to the landlord...

If this does not work.. call the police each and EVERY time they are loud after 10pm (I chose 10pm because most communities have a noise disturbance law that states between 10pm and 5 or 6am.. so you may want to check the local laws first).

Answer 2

If you crank your stereo or TV, it goes straight thru the floor of their apartment.

Squeaking bed and loud moaning in the middle of the night, plus headboard banging the wall.

Slam interior doors of your apartment.

Leave home with your alarm clock set to go off while you are gone.

Throw heavy things at your ceiling

The above are all ways downstairs neighbors have made my quiet life a living hell, except for throwing things at ceiling.

Complain to management, but make sure you are adult and respectful when you do, or they will think you are just being an a**.

Purchase a air horn... they come canned with aresol...sports fans uses them here's a link about them .They are super loud! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/air_horn... <---- wait till they go to bed and then let this rip !
* Broom on the ceiling works too ... but wait till they go to bed to apply it at random.
* Buy a extra loud alarm clock ( if the walls are really thin) set off for 4 am. Radio shack has one that goes up to 110 decibles !
* Do you have clothing dryer in your apartment ??? if you do fill it with your heaviest shoes / boots then set on air dry and let them hear the tumbling sound.
* Buy a phone ringer! it's this little plastic thing hooks up to your phone...it's to make the ring extra loud for nearly deaf people. Buy it and hook up your regular phone ...then at night call that line with your cell over and over . I have one of these ringers it is SO LOUD INCREDIBLE here's the one I bought was only like $6.00

* You could also buy that jingle dogs cd ( it's dogs barking xmas songs) and play it loudly for the neibors.
* Lastly I know you said you didn't want anything illlegal but for a one time only event here goes. This is an apartment right ? You have access to their stair case right? Well buy a pepper spray grenade and set it off in the hall then ring there bell so they come out a get wiff.

ASK THEM NICELY IF THEY CAN BEA LITTLE QUIETER, IF NOT TALK TO YOUR LANDLORD AND EXPLAIN IT TO THEM, OR CALL THE POLICE AND DON'T LEAVE YOUR NAME AND TELL THEM, THERE SHOULD BE AN ORDINANCE OF WHAT TIME THE NOISE SHOULD BE. GOOD LUCK.
