[quote user="hon30critter"]I'm not too happy tonight. We had planned on staying in this house until we couldn't manage any more, but if the noise persists that may change.[/quote] I am feeling with you, Dave! We live in a house with 4 apartments, two on each floor. We live on the top floor, and the other apartment on "our" floor is rented out to a bloke in his early 20, with his mom living with her BF one floor below. He works the early morning shift at some place and leaves the house by 4am. He has never learned how to walk the stairs quietly, but rather storms them up and down like a herd of elephants. The sound proofing of this house is so great, whenever he walks the stairs Petra and I stop talking to each other, because we would not hear a word said. His mom´s BF is a rather dim-whitted creature, who does exactly the same, but also stomps up to the attic a number of times each day - up a metal staircase, emitting the noise of shotgun blasts. Neither of them know how to quietly close a door, but slam them shut. They also like to engage into verbal fights, so we are well informed about what rocks their boat. The apartment below us is rented by a young couple with a toddler of 2 1/2 years of age, who has not yet learned to speak properly due to lack of attention by his imbecile mom. Whatever sound comes from his mouth is either crying, screaming or shouting, followed by his mom yelling at him. His parent´s frequent night time activities are of the noisy sort, followed by this little pest screaming again, which again is followed by his dad yelling at him. But that´s not all. We are surrounded by folks of the same sort. There is a Russian immigrant who likes to "call home" like ET. Apparently, his mobile phone has a bad reception inside the house, so he goes outside for a call. His deep dark voice floods the entire neighborhood with the guttural noise of the Russian language. The neighboring kids are simply a pest, hollering, screaming, yelling all the time, with their moms adding to the din when they call them in. Such is Petra´s and my every day life. The place makes us sick, but we don´t have the money to rent a decent place and pay for the move. We are stuck in it and hate it every second. No wonder my heart does not want to do its job the way it should! I know I don´t have as many days left as I´d like to. I had hoped to be able to spend them in peace and quiet, comforted by Petra´s love (and excellent cooking), but that is not given to me.
