Have you ever lived in a place where you felt like your every move was being listened to and you could never really get any peace and quiet because you were constantly waiting for a neighbor to call you out because you made a peep?

That, my friends, is no way to live!

All it does is make you paranoid and fearful about doing something as simple as walking to the kitchen to get a drink.

The guy who wrote this story is really going through it and he explained his dilemma to readers.

Take a look at what he had to say.

Downstairs neighbor complains about every single noise.

“My girlfriend and I just moved into a new apartment. Two upstairs units side by side, and two downstairs units side by side.

Long story short, our neighbor directly underneath us complains about every single sound that we make—walk, roll a suitcase, roll a desk chair, play music at a normal volume, etc.

Ugh…

It’s been infuriating.

I work from home, my upstairs neighbors are hybrid and my downstairs opposite side neighbor works at the office. The person below me works from home and NEVER leaves their house. Their car is 24/7 in the driveway and I genuinely feel like a prisoner.

Out of the handful of apartments I’ve lived in throughout multiple states (and always in the upstairs unit) I’ve never had a neighbor complain about noise/go to the landlord about it like this one does.

It sounds like he’s not doing anything wrong.

We’re fairly quiet, we respect quiet hours and all that.

She’s banged on her ceiling/our floor multiple times in different scenarios: once for rolling my desk chair at 9 pm, once for rolling a suitcase at 9 am, and multiple times for playing music between the hours of 12-2 pm.

Our landlord reached out and just told us to be cautious about sound since the neighbor below works from home but the thing is we are.

None of our other neighbors have had any issues with us! All my fiends have said it’s 100% a neighbor thing vs. us doing something wrong.

It sounds like she just wants to start trouble…

We’ve spoken with her about my speakers for example (which are small 5” speakers on top of a cabinet about a foot away from the wall so I have no idea how it’s “rattling her drink” downstairs) but what do I know?

Also, multiple times she’s blasted music downstairs to the point where we could hear it up here + outside, where my record player speakers you couldn’t even hear down the hall since the volume is for the room it’s in and that room only.

What would you do if you were in our situation? I feel like we’ve done all we can but it’s getting to a point where it feels like we’re being reprimanded about every single thing.”

It sounds like his neighbor just wants something to complain about…
