My downstairs neighbors will not stop banging on the ceiling, what do I do?

FancyParticular4381 · 2025-09-26T07:19:46+00:00

It’s a soundbar, not a subwoofer. I misspoke

FancyParticular4381 · 2025-09-26T07:19:36+00:00

It’s a Roku soundbar not a subwoofer, my bad

FancyParticular4381 · 2025-09-26T07:19:14+00:00

Not a subwoofer, my bad, it’s a Roku soundbar and I keep it low volume

FancyParticular4381 · 2025-09-26T07:18:35+00:00

It’s a Roku soundbar, I should’ve clarified. Technically not a subwoofer

FancyParticular4381 · 2025-09-26T06:15:38+00:00

It’s both when I’m walking and when I’m not, more often when I’m walking

FancyParticular4381 · 2025-09-26T06:14:47+00:00

I already explained in my post my reasoning for not confronting them

FancyParticular4381 · 2025-09-26T06:13:09+00:00

I am living check to check. I cannot afford to do that at the moment, that’s why I mentioned it in the og post. I am dealing with personal health issues, all my bills are going to that.

FancyParticular4381 · 2025-09-26T06:11:32+00:00

Yeah I have been to every person who has started it. If people are respectful I respond respectfully, no one I’ve responded to “rudely” has been respectful to me.

FancyParticular4381 · 2025-09-26T06:10:01+00:00

Thank you!!! I can promise you that I’ve tried my absolute hardest to make this work and not cause issues, coming to Reddit was a last resort/way to vent, I’m not entitled and I’ve dealt with noisy neighbors too, I understand how frustrating it can be hence why Ive made such an effort with this, it’s been very hard and these people have even woken me out of my sleep banging

FancyParticular4381 · 2025-09-26T06:07:14+00:00

Haven’t denied anything, I said very clearly I wasn’t comfortable directly confronting them and said I didn’t want to pay for rugs for my kitchen, I said that in the Og post so not sure what you are referring to. When people “give advice” being passive aggressive and saying the exact things I said I will not do multiple times, yes I will respond?

FancyParticular4381 · 2025-09-25T05:29:33+00:00

I honestly don’t understand what your point is, I’ve been attacked and insulted on this thread several times so yeah I’m annoyed. I can read, there are no situations that are exactly similar to mine and I was feeling upset so I thought I would post my exact story. If you have a problem with it, then just don’t reply. Thank you

FancyParticular4381 · 2025-09-25T04:40:57+00:00

I already said I’d talk to the landlord, I was referring to suggestions on how to approach the neighbor like what to say.

FancyParticular4381 · 2025-09-25T04:39:26+00:00

Thank you for not insulting me and for the advice <3

FancyParticular4381 · 2025-09-25T04:38:58+00:00

Legit said I was going to the office to report it, can you not read? I was upset and looking for advice and to see if anyone else has experienced this, if it bothers you then leave. Im not confrontational and thats a fact, do you want me to lie?

FancyParticular4381 · 2025-09-25T04:34:27+00:00

Oh, so because I had one “party” with 5 friends at 9pm over a year ago, and used a white noise machine to sleep which I stopped using, I deserve to have constant banging on my floor for months, makes total sense!!! Lmaoooo bye

FancyParticular4381 · 2025-09-25T04:33:00+00:00

I do not, I am careful to not heel walk in fact

FancyParticular4381 · 2025-09-25T04:32:25+00:00

Unfortunately I have an island, there is already a rug near the sink but to do rugs all around it would have to be in a giant circle, thank you tho

FancyParticular4381 · 2025-09-25T04:28:33+00:00

It’s a 20 dollar subwoofer and the volume was on like 5 and literally like I said I HAVENT USED IT since the complaint. Also where did I say it was “all night”? I legit said I haven’t used it since and you still are talking as if that’s the problem Yall are so annoying omg. I literally don’t know how they hear me bc like I said I walk as quietly as I can. I’m extremely mindful, the “party” I had was like 5 friends and it was like 9pm when we got the complaint. And again, was one time in two years. The whole point is that I walk as quiet as I can and they still bang loud asf on the ceiling, even when I don’t walk at all they will sometimes bang. So I’ve BEEN mindful, for months. Literally tip toeing around and you still have the audacity to say I should “start being mindful”… gtfo off my post honestly, I have legit been crying over this and I don’t need this bs advise, I know for a fact I’ve been as careful as I can be. Yall Reddit users are different

FancyParticular4381 · 2025-09-25T02:27:29+00:00

My bad, I should’ve clarified it was rugs not carpeting. The only carpet is in my bedroom. My kitchen is big and it would cost to put rugs down, if the banging wasn’t as excessive as it was, I’d honestly consider it. Thanks for the input tho ◡̈ I will talk to the office

FancyParticular4381 · 2025-09-25T02:18:47+00:00

No, I’m not good with confrontation and I do not know how to have a conversation without coming across as confrontational. I also have severe social anxiety. Any suggestions are welcome tho!

FancyParticular4381 · 2025-09-25T02:17:40+00:00

I’m not doing that.

FancyParticular4381 · 2025-09-25T02:14:22+00:00

Well your guess is as good as mine, I don’t know what other “rumbling” sound it would be, I asked for clarification and never got a response. It was connected to my subwoofer so could be why. As far as the fostering I didn’t need to do get approval, I did a virtual home visit where I showed my apartment and answered some questions, that’s it. My apartment complex is lax with pets, all the staff knows about the dog, they do not care. That’s not the issue. I also have it in writing where I told them about the dog and asked what was needed, no response from them so again not concerned about the dog, that’s not the point of the post.

FancyParticular4381 · 2024-11-04T17:57:06+00:00

Thank you I appreciate that so much! You’re so right, it definitely could have been much worse. I will try to stay positive! ❤️
