If you live above others are you considerate of your downstairs neighbours or do you allow your kids to stomp about like elephants?

Also are you aware of the noise your household makes or would you say you’re oblivious to it?

I used to live upstairs and constantly kept my son and his friends in check. Now, I live downstairs and the upstairs peeps don't seem to care at all! It's frustrating 😒

The buildings I lived in I have never been able to hear my neighbours but I also don’t stomp around or make loud noises so I think if I lived somewhere that my neighbours could hear I’d be a good neighbour lol.

We keep to quite hours, which is later than 6:30pm lol but set up& agreed upon in our leases

I say cut it at a reasonable hour but for me that would be 8-9pm as someone ca be going to sleep, not 6pm. Also you should consider the flooring and estructure of the building, my upstairs neighbour is loud af since before dawn and late night past midnight, yet is not his fault because the floor cracks at every step he makes, so I don’t complain because I know he can’t do anything about it. I must certainly curse him every time is late or really early as my baby might wake up, but just out of frustration not to him him, you know? Not saying that is your case but it could be.

I live downstairs and I too am enraged by the people upstairs, it honestly sounds like they are bowling and skateboarding up there.... So rude!

I used to be convinced my upstairs neighbours wore bricks for shoes 🙄 they also had a kid who rode his push bike up and down the apartment constantly. Sooooo glad I don't live there anymore

Honestly. Whenever somebody complains about their upstairs neighbors being loud I think about the episode of friends where they clean out Mr. Heckles' apartment and find out that he wasn't lying about them being really loud. I definitely wouldn't let my kid stomp all around, but maybe it just sounds like that and they're not being that inconsiderate

I've actually had the worst upstairs neighbours in the past and it really does bring out a different type of rage 😅 but now that we are on the top floor we are conscious of the people below us and don't stomp around.
Weirdly, I can still hear the people below stomping, don't know how that works 🤔

if you can hear the neighbours below you stomping and being loud, just be grateful you don’t live directly below them 😩

no they’re definitely being loud and inconsiderate. I can hear the screams as they run up and down.

honestly its so draining to hear.

my son goes to sleep around 7-7.30pm so i cut it off an hr early so he has time to unwind and relax. However, if he went to sleep later i’d still cut it off at that time because to hear constant stomping through the night when you’ve probably had a busy hectic day is honestly exhausting.

Obviously hearing the floor creaking is a different situation tho still annoying - my post is literally about those with kids who are just unaware of their surroundings and inconsiderate to others.

honestly i’m jealous. Rn im on the top floor so thankfully no one above me. But i can hear the new neighbours that just moved in below me. I just dont understand lol. Because if i can hear it loudly surely they must recognise just how loud they are?

I used to have next door neighbours whose dogs whined for hours during the day and it was quite distressing to listen to. They just used to leave them alone all day.
