Loud neighbors at home are annoying, but loud neighbors at work can be just plain unbearable.

One business owner has spent months dealing with a neighboring gym that shouts, blasts music, and shows zero interest in soundproofing or basic consideration.

Multiple direct conversations about how distressing the situation has become haven’t changed a thing.

The noise keeps coming, and so does the frustration of feeling like every complaint disappears into thin air.

Keep reading for the full story.

why do people just not care?

I have a commercial noise issue going on right now, with neighbours who operate a gym next to my office.

They shout and play their music so loud and have no soundproofing or consideration for multiple neighbours whatsoever.

All this extra noise has really taken a toll on this business owner.

It’s been incredibly draining to deal with mentally, and it makes you feel like you’re fighting a losing battle.

Reading through all these posts as well, it makes me question why people behave in this way and genuinely not care about other people.

He’s tried being direct, but these people only seem to be out for themselves.

I’ve said to my neighbours how distressing the situation is many times, but the problem remains, and they do as they please.

If someone told me I was disrupting them on a daily basis, I would stop that immediately and feel so guilty.

Whereas others just don’t give a ****

It’s mad how many noise issues there are. There should be a better system for sorting it out, because it causes genuine stress and potentially other issues.

It’s hard to feel like no one cares about the damage they’re inflicting.

What did Reddit have to say?

The amount of actually decent people out there does feel like it’s dwindling.

This commenter has some firm words of advice.

It’s time to escalate this issue as high as it will go.

Sometimes there’s nothing left to do but to make a stink.

Raising the same issue over and over and still getting nowhere is a clear sign this business owner is dealing with some pretty selfish and inconsiderate people.

Redditors gave some good advice, including escalating the issue up to the landlord in charge. Something has to give here.

Having a quiet place to work isn’t too much to ask.
