Thanks all for the replies.

John:
Good idea, not sure if they neighbour would go for this though.

Dave:
This is the only noise issue I have in the flat.
I think it is amplified by the ceiling cavity.

Si:
I can't believe quiet operation switches do not exist.
From what I have been reading on web this is a common issue.

As the noise is amplified (I think) in the cavity between their
ceiling and my floor. What do you think the possibilities are for
trying to the fill some of the cavity, at least surrounding the unit,
with wool or foam?

Any more comments much appreciated

Thanks,
Googly.

Hi!

My neighbours obviously have weak bladders.
Never in all my life have I heard 2 people going to to the toilet so
often.

Every time they go to the toilet I can hear the pull cord light
switching on and off. It's like they are in my bathroom.

Whoever invented those hiddeous and noisy switches should be thrashed
with a wet fish.... repeatedly.

Does anyone have a suggestions?
Is it possible to remove the noisy switch thingy? (That is the tech
term!)
Can you buy quiet ones?
Or soundproof it in anyway?


I've looked for one, and failed, in the past; they were all what I would
call noisy.

I think John's idea is best.
