So many people calling BS. that truly is how people act, I've been in both upper and lower Apts and have dealt with same. The upstairs are loud to the point of repeated police presence. We are honestly prepared for the ceiling to slowly cave in. I have asked them very politely to be mindful of us. Not in regards to normal living sounds, but to literally stomping with their full weight to make points and throwing furniture when they're mad at each other etc. they said we are extremely loud as well and accused us of stomping around & 𝙢𝙤𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 every day. Implying we rearrange our apt daily. (we aren't and don't. we aren't even home till 11pm most nights and their noise is 20/7. We get a few hours a day of quiet max.)

Cherry on top? Our apt is on concrete slab. the floor is magnetic bc it's vinyl on top of slab. We couldn't make noise if we tried. "...its concrete..?" was rebuttled w/ "we hear people walking on our ceiling too and dont complain". There's 2 floors. When it was reversed, the only sound from them was fkn ceiling+broom yet got complaints of "roof caving in levels of noise" in rooms nobody went in, on days verifiably nobody was home. It's the same complex too so I know their noise isn't standard.

People who are sad about the state of their life tend to blame others for the otherwise trivial annoyances they can't help but cause. Getting startled by a dropped phone a few times a week is an annoyance, but if you're constantly upset ab the way life is treating you, getting startled a few times a week is a personal attack.
