X-Post from LIF: REALLY need advice, neighbor-related....WWYD?
Ok so DH and I moved into an apartment in July. We like it a lot. The only thing is the walls are VERY thin. In the living room we can hear one neighbor's TV and them talking, and in the bedroom we can hear another neighbor.
This is about bedroom neighbor. Short explanation - our building is in 3 wings with 3 separate elevators and halls that do not connect. Bedroom neighbor is the last apartment in the middle wing and we are the 1st apartment in the north wing, so we do not know them and do not run into them. From hearing them we have gathered that it is a couple with a (very loud) dog.
They are SO loud. We can hear every convo they have in whatever room our wall connects to word for word. Often we hear them very late at night and early in the morning. We hear their dog yap constantly. But the absolute WORST is some nights I get woken up by the man SNORING! I sleep with a fan, humidifier, noise machine AND earplugs (I'm a light sleeper) and I STILL get woken up to his SNORING! I don't think our wall connects to their bedroom because its not every night....but I don't know what to do. I've tried knocking on their door after work and nobody ever answers, and I am damn well not getting out of bed at 3am to go all the way downstairs, to the other elevator, and upstairs. (we live on the top floor) So when its really bad, like last night, I knock on the wall. Last night he knocked back and after that the snoring stops, but obviously they probably don't like us very much. I also wonder if they can hear every thing we do/say, so we are very conscious of that and try to stay quiet/watch the TV low in the bedroom. But since they don't try to keep it down it leads me to believe they DON'T hear us all that often...
I don't know what to do! If I do knock on their door, what do I say? 'Your snoring bothers me'? I'm really at a loss here!! Any advice or suggestions are appreciated! Thanks!
