Oh boy... That sounds awful 😥
I had a couple living next to my previous apartment listening to music to a point where my walls were vibrating a lot... Then I decided to be pragmatic about it, and added the cops on speed dial. And I don't think I was the only one. After 8 times, they got their stuff taken away by the cops and we never heard of them again. 🙄 -
@Totchinuko I see. The guy who does that at my place isn’t playing it that loudly, just loud enough that the rooms upstairs can hear it. It doesn’t seem like the others mind though, and I am a bit more sensitive to sound given that I have some mental health issues. I’m kinda at a lost of what to do about him cause telling him to turn it down doesn’t work, and the Landlord is also having problems enforcing any rules in the house, especially since he’s currently living in another town.

@Japorized I know it's not dealing with the source problem, but have you tried ear plugs? It can make wonders sometimes 🤔
-
@Totchinuko I don’t have dedicated ones so I just use my noise-cancelling earphones. But it’s still not good enough, maybe cause I’m used to complete silence at night except for white noises and the occasional noise from cars passing by.
-
@Japorized for me it's the opposite, if I don't have the sweet noise of the fans of my computers, I have a lot of trouble to sleep. When I go to my parents place, it's a nightmare, they live in the middle of nowhere and it's way too quiet 😫.
-
@Totchinuko Fans from computers are considered to be white noise, and they usually don’t disturb sleep and may instead help people fall asleep calmly.
-
@Japorized hum interesting 🤔 that's why it works so well. Well I'll go to sleep less stupid today 😃
-
@nbamaral The problem is that fucking dude never sleeps 😂 Or he just needs very little. Most of the other guys are okay too, so I don’t want to bother them.

I just had one guy coming back to the house at 4am, again, and he made his usual grand entrance, slamming the doors, stomping on the wooden floor making all the creaking sound as he walk all the way to his room, which is right beside mine. And when he went into the bathroom, which is on the other side of my room, he slammed he motherfucking lid on the toilet bowl which was so fucking loud I literally jumped out of bed. I ended up not being able to sleep (I have a lot of trouble falling asleep), and when I tried to sleep in the afternoon to catch up on the missed winks, another motherfucking bastard started blasting fucking hardcore electronics in the living room which is right below my room. The same bastard also plays loud movies or music at 2-3am. I’ve told that bastard that comes home late to watch his noise but man he only minds the noises I told him and nothing else. As for the other fucker, he’ll say he’d keep it down but continues doing what he’s doing anyway.
I moved here cause I know that it’s usually a quiet place and away from the party kids, but I somehow ended up with a party kid and an insensitive fucker (This motherfucker had the loudest sigh of frustration when I knocked politely on his door last night. Yes I calmed down before I talked to him, but ended up deciding to not utter a word at all when I hear that sigh).
I should move out, but I can’t find a place before next term cause it’s way too late at this point. I am on a lease, but my landlord understands my situation, and he seems okay with breaking the contract.
Having been here as an international student for almost 2 years now, and having moved 5 times, this has been the worst nightmare of a bunch of people to stay with.
For those that has read of me ranting about this elsewhere, yes it’s that same fucking bunch that doesn’t clean the house.
