How do you politely stop a neighbor from stomping?
I recommend attempting a friendly call on them and in a tactful way let them know that the walls/ceilings/floors are very thin (this softens the blow as you’re kind of blaming the building, not them so much) and explain that the noise of them walking on their floor is very loud in your apartment.
Can the floor above me hear me?
The short answer is yes! Lower level apartments tend to hear more noise from foot traffic, furniture moving and the like. The biggest complaint with regard to noise from lower level apartments, is the noise neighbors make above them while walking around.
Is it normal to hear your upstairs neighbor footsteps?
Yes even if the floor is made of concrete and especially if the people upstairs are wearing street shoes.. It also makes it worse if there is no floor carpeting to absorb the noise as they walk and drag their feet..
Can you complain if your upstairs neighbor is too loud?
Talk to your neighbor: Your landlord might request that you bring up the noise issue with your neighbor first. It’s best to call the police when the noise is happening so you can demonstrate why you think a noise ordinance is being violated. Note that you need to call your local non-emergency number, not 911.
Why can I hear my upstairs neighbor walking?
The contact of your hands creates a vibration. The sound vibration, or sound wave, bounces off your walls, ceiling and floor, which causes the sound wave to bounce back to your ears as a magnified sound. When you hear your upstairs neighbors, the sound waves they create are traveling through their floorboards.

What kind of noise do your upstairs neighbors make?
Whether it’s the rolling sounds of something, some extremely exaggerated stomping feet, or the dragging of boulders (?) across the floor, the neighbors upstairs are somehow always the loudest, least considerate people you’ve ever heard in your life.
How do you stop neighbours from commenting on your every move?
It’s irritating to have people noticing and commenting on your every move. However, you can reduce the effect they have on you. Put up physical barriers. A decent, solid fence or some judicious conifer plantings will prevent them from seeing into your property.
Why is it so hard to sleep in an apartment?
There’s a good chance the pipes need to be replaced, fittings have come loose, and strain is put on interior systems—so things are bound to naturally go bump in the night. Not to mention, the acoustics of apartments aren’t built to insulate sound.
What do you do if someone is harassing you in your apartment?
Involve the law. If you have collected proof, then report them to the police and any other local authorities. If they are renters, then make a formal complaint via a lawyer to the rental agency or homeowner. You may also file a restraining order.
