I've lived in lots of flats. Only in one of them was there no bother with nosey neighbours.

Noisy as well sometimes 😉

Live in a block of flats. Quite a few young families about. Downstairs neighbours have two kids, the older one, who must be around 6/7 is constantly making noise. Feels like every time I'm chilling in my living room it's thump, thump, thump to the point where it's shaking the shelves. 
 

It's like the kid is doing laps up and down their fucking flat. The Dad is an acquaintance of mine in any case, but I'm not sure how to approach it.

 

Kids are kids, and you expect some amount of noise, but this crazy. I can't tell though, if it's me being a highly strung weirdo or if it's actually a reasonable complaint. My girlfriend gets annoyed with it too. 
 

The parents are nice folk, I just dunno how they aren't telling the kid to be quiet. 


I don't want to be so confrontational as to go knock on the door, and feel like I'd be a pussy if I sent a message. I've no idea what the response would be. 

If it was adults making heaps of noise, that would be one thing, but because it's a kid I feel like I can't say. 

 

Anyone ever dealt with this type of shit?

Collect dog shit at a local park, (with rubber gloves) place in McDonald’s bag. Take said bag to flat door, set fire to it, then ring doorbell. 
 

Run away, then text your so called mate to shut his and family’s fucking noise.

I’d recommend a 12 week program on the free weights before going down to have a chat with them.

If I could pick, Stonehaven would be decent.
 

But, alas, a distant dream.

Aye i can quite imagine you've seen your fair share of spotty arseholes in your time on earth. And been in quite a few of them, not just in ane

[maryhilldon]

The sound proofing in my new flat is non existent, could hear someone upstairs fart. I think the wooden floors/ceilings amplify the sound like a guitar. Every footstep is a thump, accompanied by the the sound of the worlds creakiest floor boards. I've taken to just banging up with a brush and shouting 'shut up'. Generally works, for a while.

Ha. I actually wish I was. I’m a soft touch mostly in real life, sometimes to my detriment!

Make as much noise as possible when pumping the missus. 
Drum n Bass at full vol in the flat whenever you go out.
Leave a few hypodermics lying about the communal areas. Even take a shit in it.

 

Be quite difficult to aim a shit into a hypodermic needle, be a fucking mess.

Used to be you weren’t allowed wooden flooring in some flats for that reason. Acoustic resonance and all that. 

These houses were built on the cheap in the 50s. Wouldn't have taken it if I'd known.
