So I was reading this article last week (okay so it was on Buzzfeed, but for the purposes of making myself feel like Buzzfeed isn't the procrastinators best friend, we shall pretend it was in The Guardian or something), and it was talking all about problem neighbors. And it got me thinking.
Sometimes, it's so quiet in my flat, I forget I live in a flat. Like legitimately, I forget that there are hundreds of people living in my building besides me.
So I started to wonder, is the soundproofing really good in this building? I mean it's possible, it's a fairly new building, it's only been around for three years. Or...
Gulp.
Am I the noisy neighbor?
I'm the first to admit, I'm not the quietest person out there. I talk pretty loud and pretty often. I'm not good at not slamming doors, and I keep fairly strange (read: student) hours. When I'm home I like to turn up the volume and sing really loudly, and I have been known to vacuum at three am.
Oh god.
I think I'm the noisy neighbor.
How does one stop being a noisy neighbor, exactly?
We live in a flat and it's usually pretty peaceful but a guy has just moved in downstairs and he LOVES singing! He has his music on really loud and sings along to it, we can hear him so clearly .. he's two floors down from us!!
ReplyDeleteah Buzzfeed - I love you and wanted to work for you for a long time.
ReplyDeleteHahah amazing! I'm probably the same when it comes to hours; during the day I'm either out or studying, but when it gets to 12am+ I put my music on and hoover occasionally!! x
ReplyDeleteJust as long as you don't start doing DIY (as in drilling and hammering) at 11pm on a Sunday. Because that's what my neighbour did last night...

ReplyDeleteHaha we must be terrible to live near! x
ReplyDeleteHaha definitely not! I'd have definitely complained if I were you!
ReplyDeleteHaha the one thing you can hear! I have no idea how effective the soundproofing is and it really bugs me! xx
ReplyDeleteOh god that has to be annoying! I'm definitely guilty of having a sing song when my boyfriend's out, I forget that my neighbors can probably hear! It must be bad if you can hear him from two floors down!
