Downstairs Noise

7 years ago

I'm having an issue with the downstairs neighbors and their surround sound system. They have it on ALL the time, and they crank music up momentarily during the day. Granted, I sleep well at night (I can't hear anything in the bedroom) and they typically keep it down late evening, and it's not always blaring. Does it warrant putting a noise complaint into office management about them? I have once before, and they've been better, but I still hear them constantly. A part of me want to think, "Well, that's apartment life." However, it's driving me nuts. A solution would be them just not using surround sound, but that feels unreasonable.


I pay a lot for rent, and want this to be a home (I have a wife and young daughter here) -- not a frat house, so just curious if anyone had any thoughts. I try to give them the benefit of the doubt, and don't want to see anyone get evicted. Noise just constantly bothers me (I think I have a bit of noise anxiety), and I'm trying to decide the best course of action. I'd talk to them personally, but from what I hear, it's best to let property management do this. Plus, it's GOTTA bother the guy below them, I'm sure. Subwoofers just aren't quiet. I feel like I'm doing everyone a favor by finding a solution.


Any advice would be great!
