I am not sure if it is the age of this apartment or is it the people upstairs have absolute no respect for others. Since Chinese New Year, I noticed the noise coming up the flat above us is growing louder and louder. It could be people playing Mah-jong, walking, dragging furniture, whatever they are doing, it is loud.
We told them a few times and they said they were not aware of this. To me they just don’t seem to care at all. After telling them off, the noise comes right back again.
Friends told me I might be too sensitive because noise does travel from floor to floor. Plus it is an old apartment so noise can also come from old water pipe or just the building/concrete itself.
Anyway, I am close to the boiling point. I never though about getting a new house this soon, but if this does not improve, I might just find a place and move out.
