apartment living and feeling noises WAS: Re: Re: i just called the sherrifs office for the first time...

Donnie,

Sorry about your situation at the apartment. I've been in similar situations.

Currently the complex where I live is fairly quiet. Management is great. My problem (very small) is at night when I go to bed. Noise-wise it's pretty quiet. But the television next door. I can "feel" the vibrations through the walls. And it drives me crazy. I cannot sleep. Meanwhile, hearing-wise, I can hear - barely - a slight murmer. If I'm busy, I don't even notice it, it is really slight. When I lie in bed and "feel" the noise, it is really agitating. I get up to figure out the source and have to go put my ear to the walls to figure out where it is coming from. I finally did. It's next door. Once I went next door to confirm it, and it was. From the hallway, the tv was blaring. I knocked on the nice lady's door and asked her to please turn it down. She apologized profusely and did. I could see the tv was in the living room. Which means, it is not on the other side of my bedroom wall. There's a room between her living room and my bedroom. If

I were to complain about this people would think I was crazy. The next night it was on blaring again. So lately I just go to the living room to sleep. Usually I listen to my ipod and let it lull me to sleep .But that doesnt' cut out that vibration that I feel when I'm in my bedroom. I don't know if I'll say anyting in the future or not. I would love to just sleep in my own bed in peace but don't like to complain either. I'll save that for when it is really bad. Like your situation below.

It may help to file a complaint with the apartment manager as well. Are there rules in your lease as to "quiet hours"? When I was in an apartment, the quiet hours were between 10pm and 8am. Of course, people were asked to keep their music/partying at a minimum noise level at all times out of respect. If the manager found out about tenants breaking this rule it was 3 strikes... your out. I'd rather it be one strike (ha ha ha) but I was at least happy the manager was on top of things. Hope the situation gets better for you!!>> i just moved into a new apt. last month, dec. and 'thought' my 3rd floor apt. would be good, so far, a few noises and last night was actually

peaceful but at 7:30 this a.m., i was awakened even with earplugs in. my floor pounding, i said 'w.t.f.' and it is now, over an hour later, i got up, so frustrated, i stomped on the floor but it hurt my foot so i got a hammer and hit the floor many more times but the music seemed to only get LOUDER, i was so frustrated, i finally decided to call the sherrifs office, even as she said we can send some one out, i felt really nervous about it but 'i think i have rights'> so.... it is almost 9 a.m. now, i am really wondering why no one else in this bldng. thinks it's NOT NORMAL to be foreced to hear this guys music, maybe they're afraid of him??? i can 'feel' my floor pounding. i 'heard' this guy is moving, if he doesn't and this continues, there's no way i can stay here like this. i am so upset, i'm 'shaking'... ......... donnie>
