Hi,
I live on the 1st floor of my block. People downstairs and my own flatmates are quiet at night. The only problem is with those who live upstairs.
I don't care even while they are smoking weed, but they play loud music (with strong beats) all night until 2am/ 4am/ 6am. They also talk and laugh very loudly. Everything goes on in the room right above mine so it's very loud from my room even with my window shut.
I have personally gone upstairs and spoken to them several times for 3 consecutive nights. They would apologise and agree to keep the noise down but this never truly happened.
Until one night I could not take it anymore so I called the hall security at 1am. For THREE times. The noise would come back after the security has left their flat.
One major issue is, since they are all making noise in the room above mine, the noise is not really "loud" from outside their flat, or even in their hallway, because they are not in the kitchen, and they keep the bedroom door closed. But trust me it is very loud from my room.
For this reason, when I made repetitive calls to the security (in total 3 times), the security kind of got annoyed because it wasn't that loud from the entrance of their flat. And he even asked me what's my problem in my 3rd call. I was so pissed off, so I called the warden thereafter.
I assumed that the warden went to the flat upstairs, because the noise completely stopped (or at least no longer audible from my room), a while after I called the warden.
So this noise issue has been going on 99 nights out of 100. It's clear that even the security was not authoritative enough to control the noise. It's impractical to call the warden every midnight about this.
What can I do? Noise cancelling "music" never worked. I can't wear earplugs as they affect my blood pressure - that's what the doctor says. Moving is not an option either.
I don't care how much noise whoever makes from 7am to 11.30pm. But I can't sleep as long as these inconsiderate idiots are making noise.
For medical reason I need to sleep latest by 10/11pm. And the Hall Regulation forbids noise after 11.30pm. Yes I've told the people upstairs about all this but nothing has changed. I can't be sleeping at 4am every day.
What can I do??
Would appreciate your advice
