Yeah I lived in a block with a guy who would wait at the entrance to his apartment and tear open the door to yell at people who DARED to talk while walking downstairs. There were also people who complained about noise from a bar and noise from a fire station. Both buildings had been there for years. DONT MOVE IN NEXT TO A BAR IF YOU DONT WANT TO HEAR DRUNK PEOPLE ARGUING SOMETIMES.
Also lived with a guy who would play hardbass for several hours every day.
Both types pokemon go to the gulad
Gotta love people who move somewhere then complain about the location.
We've got a small airstrip the next town over. Somebody moved into a house neighboring the airstrip then went to the hanger to try to find somebody to complain to about the fact that a bunch of loud planes were taking off and landing near him.
And this is a dirt runway with no lighting and no planes bigger than a 2 seater so it's not like it was jumbo jets landing at 10 pm.
Also, there are SO many easy ways to mitigate noise that even a working class person can afford. Some tapestries, curtains, rugs, a fan or two. Even if the walls are thin there's reasonable work around a that should muffle most noise, if people are being loud enough that that's not even working then yeah sure you have grounds to complain.
It really depends on how shitty the building is. I've lived in places where you can hear the neighbors cough, and the quiet old grandma walking around upstairs sounds like a horror movie staircase. The worst was a shared living situation where all the room doors were clangy metal.
You can't try to mitigate that, but you'll only get so far if the building is shit.
Yeah no I hear that.
That's the whole thing, there's a lot of debate to be had about what is and isn't reasonable behavior when it comes to being noisy, and it depends a lot of situational factors. There are totally both people who are too damn loud and people who throw a fit over totally banal levels of noise.
