Stomping From an Upstairs Floor/Apartment

I've had the experience (as Flick has) of having an upstairs neighbor walking in heels on a wooden floor. It got to the point where I could track her from room to room as she walked, since she never seemed to take the damn things off. I swear it seemed she got out of the shower, put on stillettos and stomped around, sounding like a dysfunctional rivetting gun. Every couple of weeks she'd have sex, which was pretty audible, too, particularly the headboard slamming against the wall. That at least, had the benefit of a certain entertainment factor, unlike the heel clacking.

Don't play your shi* too loud then if you don't like stomping, that or buy a house. If you live in an apartment - tough luck, keep it down. 99% of apartment leases have a noise clause, so deal with it and be respectful of your neighbors.

the only time i've ever heard something like this is at my friend's house

Doesn't bother me, but I live on the top floor.

Perhaps the single biggest incentive for me to get a graduate degree in order to afford a house. . .apartments would be great if it weren't for the jackasses that live in them. . .

Fom 1984 until 1989 I lived in an apartment building. I was in a large, one room, "studio" apartment. I was on friendly terms with the woman who lived above me until one day she decided to redecorate her apartment. She moved her bed above my living room and when she did, she removed the rug which had been in that location. I was not aware she had made any changes until one day she knocked something off a night stand by her bed and it came crashing down on the wooden floor above my head and nearly scared me out of my skin. When she walked across the floor wearing heels it sounded as if she was almost stepping on my head. She was a heavy woman and when she walked on the now bare floor in sneakers or barefoot the tone arm on my record player would start jumping across the record. When I tried to bring it to her attention in a friendly way she started complaining she could hear my television when she was trying to sleep. I tried to explain to her the missing rug was causing the problem for... Read more

I still can't believe my sister plays that stupid dance revolution video game in her upstairs frickin' condo...

Been on both ends of this and I'm going to leave it at that.

My neighbor Tom once had a guy that lived upstairs from him who was from Ohio. The guy who lived upstairs once had an arguement in the backyard with his roomates girlfriend about food. It was pretty loud, and the police came over. When i asked Tom about it he said that the guy upstairs thought he called police on him, and was stomping on the floor upstairs in disgust.  Tom said he was ready to explode that night, and was almost ready to  go upstairs to ream him a new ass#ole. Instead he just kept his cool. I think Tom said he did not call the police, and told the guy upstairs in private about that. They later solved the dispute with a case of beer.

That is just rude and inconsiderate behaviour.

Not only annoying, but extremely rude. I hate when people act as if they are the only person who lives in the house/apartment; as if they could make all of the noise in the world and not have to answer to anybody.

I suppose that it's my turn to get the negative end of this one, since at my other apartment I've lived on the upper floor. The usual creaking from an upstairs apartment is to be expected, and it's not that bad. However, now I'm living beneath a tenant with a dog. A very hyperactive dog. And it's a medium-sized dog, not one of those little tiny dogs that are the size of a football. Throughout the day (and night), I can hear it tear through the upstairs apartment, thumping and whomping back and forth. I like dogs. And I like this particular dog. So, I try to be as understanding as possible about it. I mean, at least it's not barking and howling. But, it is a little distracting, and at night it gets quite annoying.
