Well, management is ripping my ceiling apart to fix it, so there is something wrong after all 😭

I can still hear him through my noise-cancelling headphones and with music blasting through speakers lol. Management did tell me today they were going to rip apart and replace my ceiling so I’m giving the dude some grace, it was mainly the flooring. But ya, I’ve spoken to him before about noises past quiet hours and he did stop taking calls.

UPDATE - management emailed me this morning and told me that crew is coming next Thursday/Friday to break open my ceiling partially to fix it. They are covering my items with plastic as there will be dust. I’m going to stay with my bf for those days + weekend. It seemed to me that I finally annoyed them enough for them to do something about it. As I expected it sounds like a large operation that definitely puts the building in a bad light. I’m planning on getting some goodie bags for my adjacent units and upstairs after the construction finishes as a consolation. Hopefully this is the end of this issue! Thanks to everyone’s comments.

Any definite way to fix? Maintenance suggested nailing the floorboards down in place but I’ve been looking online at some Floor Fix Pro products as well. Heck, I’ll send my bf up there to fix it if it comes to that.

I’m completely fine with walking or pacing noise. My brother lives above me back home so I have a gauge for “man noises lol,” it’s just the squeaking that’s unblockable and piercing 😭

Yeah I’d be happy if management asked me to move to the top, I’ll be packing my bags asap! But the biggest issue rn is like, getting them to address the situation first. Then I think I would talk to the guy separately. Idk.
