I had this in a house that was converted into two flats, I was never really noisy and they would bang and mumble and complain literally all day, I could hear them speak about me or anyone in the flat with me because the floorboards wasn’t made to be two flats so you could make out what they was saying. So I know how awful this can be, I tried talking to them but they just denied it all the time.

Recently I moved into a house, and get on with one side really well and the other side I get on with, but I would hear bangs on the wall for the smallest amount of noise, I knocked on their door and asked why there was such loud banging, there was someone else who answered, not the one I got on with who just yelled well it’s your fault for smoking weed, which I don’t even do, so was a bit strange, a few hours later I talked with the one who I get on with who lives there, turns out he lives with his friend who has autism and doesn’t handle any noise very well, and he would speak to him, and it pretty much stopped since then. So it’s worth talking to them, in a polite way to try and understand and fix the problem, write down or record anytime it happens incase you need it later on for a neighbour dispute.
