The guys that are supposed to clear the leaves do a terrible job and they make the place look dirty
you have to tip toe because everything is a noise complaint. This is a message that was sent by our property manager as you can see, you can't do ANYTHING. GOD FORBID YOU HAVE CHILDREN BECAUSE YOU ARE BEING ASKED TO NOT PLAY WITH THEM!!!
"Hi Everyone,
Just a friendly reminder and advise about noise.
Living in an apartment, sound travels. NO matter what, it is inevitable, but we can all do our part to help minimize the disturbances to our neighbors. With the weather starting to change, the holiday season approaching, and many of us spending more time inside our apartments now is a great time to remember living in an apartment is community living. We all impact each other's living experience each and every day.
Remember to mind the levels of your speakers especially bass. Don't put speakers or TVs on the floor. Having area rugs on hardwood (which is required by the lease) and furniture does help absorb sound and prevent echoes but does not make your apartment soundproof. Remember that a TV in the bedroom may be good for you, but even at the lowest levels, if your upstairs/downstairs neighbor is in complete silence they probably do hear it at some level.
Many residents work from home, please be mindful of that fact. This fact is relative to both sides of the conversation. Your rolling office chair can make your neighbors start to believe they live under a bowling alley, if you are not mindful, and especially if you do not have appropriate protective floor covering and or Rollerblade style, chair wheels. The former can be just as bad as that neighbor's T.V. or stereo that is making you so very angry because it feels like you are at the worst concert ever, with a totally obstructed view, and you can't leave because the band is performing a double encore and... It is taking place in your home.
Try not to slam doors. Tell your kids not to slam doors, tell your guest, and tell your pets!
When closing doors in your apartment, if you simply turn the handle when closing them, it helps prevent it sounding like it's being slammed. Even if not to you, others may perceive it as being slammed due to the way sound travels.
If it is actually difficult to close any of your doors, please submit a work order, so we may help.
Remember that if you walk heavy footed, no matter what floor you are on, the noise and vibrations from heavy footed walkers sounds like continual thumping and causes vibration in other units. Of course, this is worse coming from second/elevated floor apartments. However, this is also true for first floor units. Carpeting helps, but it still sounds like loud thumps, so please just be mindful.
Don't run up and down your stairs! That one should be a given. It is not particularly safe, your not saving any meaningful time, and it is loud especially to your first floor neighbors. These buildings are designed with stairs and front door surrounding the first-floor apartment bedrooms.
If you have read this far, THANK YOU! I am almost done, just a few more things to say.
Playing with your kids and pets inside is fun, but banging, bouncing, jumping and running children and pets can cause your downstairs/upstairs neighbors to get frustrated. Both children and dogs tend to be heavy footed and while we all have to have some level of understanding and acceptance, those with children and dogs should do their best to minimize excessive noise Continual barking dogs is another issue that is pretty common but is correctable and even preventable.
Generally speaking, be respectful to your neighbors. While being on an elevated floor can be even more difficult at times, lower-level apartments translate the noise to the apartment more than you may think.
With a little thought and consideration, we can minimize disturbances to our neighbors. This is community living and we all should always respect each other, always.
Thank you all for your cooperation!
DO YOU REAALY WANT TO LIVE HERE!! ITS TORTURE!
