Hi,

I'm having a serious problem, and I was wondering if anyone can help
with it. I live in an apartment building. My neighbour below me
always invites friends over, plays loud music, etc. I hear him till
the wee hours DAILY!!! It's seriously driving me insane! Even after I
warn him, he keeps going. My landlord sent him a letter, but as I am
writing this e-mail, I can still hear his TV on (he's watching Star
Wars). Is there anything I can do to add some sound insulation. My
apartment is not very big, the floors are made of wood. Someone please
help me!!!

Usually it is the downstairs neighbor being driven crazy by heavy footfalls
of the upstairs neighbor. You could try wearing dutch wooden shoes while at
home or walking on your heels. Do you have a sport you can practice inside,
how about step arobics.

Once he comes to complain to you, you have leversdge to work out a
compromise.

If you are willing to bluff, try telling the landloard that you will break
your lease and move out unless he can remidy the obnoxious neighbor or move
you to a different unit.
