Some tips and hacks I use to deal with noisy neighbours when leaving on my own as a first time buyer in the UK in a UK flat by using dehumidifiers and ear plugs.
PRODUCTS MENTIONED:
Mpow ear plugs (best earplugs for sleeping imo):

Bose noise masking sleepbuds

Cheap dehumidifier, they're actually a bit more expensive that I thought. This one is the cheapest on Argos at £49.99.

I wish these apartment complexes did surveys and put quiet people together and loud and obnoxious people together also lol
YES
also set up dog-only neighbours and cat-only neighbours. I hate dogs because they all at one time or another bark as if they were possessed by Satan
😊
I know! Why can't there be quiets areas and buildings. I always pray my new neighbours love symphonies and opera.
i’m so glad my downstairs neighbor is quiet and i don’t make noise upstairs i hope she never moves
Couldn’t agree more. Some people don’t care about others. I always try to be quiet coming and going in case someone is sleeping or works a nightshift whereas other people are so inconsiderate.
I've tried all these methods and I can still hear irritating neighbors. People who are loud and ignorant should only be allowed to live in the basement away from regular people
Sorry to hear that. Hope you get some peace soon!
Try Orange noise 10 hr video on CZcams played over a speaker and turn up your subwoofer. It covers low frequency noises like stomping or bass. I think it’s pink,brown and white noise... but there are others you could experiment with. I have also played this with another little sound machine to cover higher frequency noises.
Yes please!
Noise is very detrimental to overall health and can even cause death. I hope that governments all over the world finally look into this deep issue they've helped create by stacking people like cans on top of one another.
I totally see where you're coming from, the stress it causes can be so huge. It seems that noise is becoming something humans are expected to tolerate, but I don't think we're really built to tolerate it.
You are 100% correct there. I had approx 2 and a half years of next to no sleep due to an upstairs neighbour (who is due to be evicted because she has not paid her rent for a numberer of months now - so an overall nightmare of an individual). She would stamp around, drop heavy items above my bedroom from 9pm to 6am everyday (non-stop - being constant), then walk away to the back of the flat where her bedroom is located, for at maximum of an hour from 6am to 7am (if I was lucky) then come back again and repeat it all over again throughout the day throughout the flat above. I could hear her banging and stamping non-stop except for 1 hour at the most. I became very ill with shingles in March as my body couldn't take the sleep deprivation and huge level of stress from her doing it anymore. I suspect she is ADHD, autistic, brain damaged (not meaning to sound non PC, but everyone I know has commented on it due to her appearance who have seen her and my neighbours as I have explode a few times verbally which they have heard) because I questioned why she didn't need any sleep. She has ruined my chances of finding work, and at one point afterwards getting shingles, as I have small ear canals that makes wearing ear plugs painful, found some moldex ear plugs that were smaller and fit my ears, so I wore those throughout the day when I wasn't putting sound reducing headphones on my head. I wore the ear plugs as I wanted some sleep and quiet to apply for jobs, but then I got ear infections in both ears due to "prolonged usage" as stated by the nurse, and advised to air my ears after about every three hours until the pain cleared up in my ears and then use the plugs to sleep again. I was given a strong ear spray to squirt in both ears too. I'm also waiting for a hospital referral due to hearing loss in my ear due to the infections occurring. Since she has been issued an eviction letter, she has stopped doing it to the degree that it was going on before, but she is still unacceptably noisy and I wish for her to move out soon. Due to how she is though, and how she has no money, I expect her to prolong the time spent there until the bailiffs come in to physically remove her. I went to all the places I could for help, for over a year, CAB first, housing associations, council etc and was redirected elsewhere and everywhere could not help me that I tried. You are spot on. It really has affected my health. I have been the most ill I have ever been over the course of the time she has lived above my flat. Her kitchen is above my bedroom so there is no necessity for her to be in there for the times of the day when normal people need their sleep. The amount of stress is creates on the body is horrific.
Goodluck with that, profit over people after all
@@happyhands117 Sorry you’re going through hell. I’m in a very similar situation. My upstairs neighbors have made my home uninhabitable. My health has deteriorated from the lack of sleep, and constant stress. I’ve complained to my HOA and property management company, and they will not do anything. There are sick people in the world who get a thrill of hurting or bothering others. It’s unfortunate that we have to live like this.
@@Joji_14 my upstairs neighbour goes to bed very late, banging around and playing his music or tv until the early hours. When I addressed it with him (very nicely) he said he won’t stop living his life. Right now, he’s having a noisy party - it’s half past midnight on a Wednesday. I hate him. I just put the dehumidifier on, and am wondering what I can use to wake him up at 6am.
You seem like such a nice and sincere person. It's always the nice people that suffer with this. Thanks for the tips :)
Thank you! Luckily I’ve got new neighbours now and there are fairly quiet!
@@ShhTheSecretShopper So glad to hear things improved! Thank you for letting us know. I hope your place stays still relatively quiet.
Why should we adjust? They’re the problem and they should make the change not the people who are NOT causing it!
My next door neighbor's son invites a few friends over and they hang out, talk real loud, and play ghetto music. My window is just above the area where they hang out like cockroaches. This doesn't happen very often, like one or two times at the most a week. They don't do drugs, just a drink now and then. These kids are car enthusiasts, a few of them work at McDonald's
You are right but that’s the way it is. Most landlords don’t do anything unless the noise is outside of normal living situation. But remember if you live under someone they have the power to make your life hell. You have a few options, talk to your neighbor and learn to deal with it, move and never be under someone or buy a house.
Exactly 💯
Damn right.
After I complained to my neighbour that his 3 small kids running in the apartment all day everyday is unbearable.
He said he doesn't have a problem.and I should try earplugs. Some people have no shame. Fking scums.
I’m trying to break my lease because of how infuriating my neighbors upstairs are. I’m always tossing and turning and not sleeping well here. Tonight I finally started banging on the ceiling to get them to turn their music off at 3am. I can’t believe how inconsiderate people are!! You have a calming voice that’s helping me chill out a bit. I actually use these exact techniques already! Sometimes it’s still not enough. Definitely calling the my landlord in the morning 😭
yep I know at least you don't have a kid running around 3am SMH
Dealing with a very similar issue atm. It's now 5am and they haven't stopped with music and singing loud and it's so loud that it sounds like it's in my room with me. I've banged, told them to be quiet and respectful, even rang the police who said they can't do anything. It's driving me crazy because there's nothing I can do to stop them and they do it all the time.
You should phone the local council to ask for diary sheets to be sent to you. Every night for 7 days fill in the sheets when you are disturbed after 11pm by loud music from above, and you will see the environmental team will have a word with them to turn it right down, if they continue they will find themselves in trouble.
Silicone putty ear sound blockers and 36db ear defenders headphone things on top, that is working great for me. Amazon have both. A big difference. I also use the ear defenders on top of my ear buds to listen to the Calm app and Spotify or Audible etc. blocking out their noise with sound isn’t enough, the ear defenders on top works great. You need to sleep on your back with them, they’re chunky, but I have a pillow with a hole it in (off amazon too) and can sleep on my side. I must look weird but it s working for me
@@skygazer6898
Exactly! Just to add, my ex was a police officer and he said it doesn't matter what time the noise is at in the UK any kind of noise which is disturbing other ppl can be dealt with at anytime.
So I paid heed to it and called anti social for noisy neighbours for 30yrs worth of noise, not putting up with it anymore! Sleep deprivation is absolutely soul destroying!
if only companies building houses used sound-proof materials!
I know right!!
The law changed after 2003 due to new regulations. the old properties were not soundproofed.
I agree. Better building codes won’t solve every issue. But I think cheaply built properties just exacerbate the problem.
Instead of making a video of how to you can tolerate the noise, lets make videos and send it off to our representatives and make these cheap rental management companies fix these issues
👍
Also folk, grow a spine ffs!
_Fantasy tip #1:_ *Punch neighbour. Repeat tip no1 until noise abates*
_Fantasy tip #2:_ *Drive JCB through neighbour's house. [Note: This is a 1-step solution]*
_Fantasy tip #3:_ *Take up bee keeping, once hive is huge, make it really angry and put all bees in neighbour's letterbox.*
...I've got a guy next door, he sings awfully, same 2-3 songs over and over, LOUD with h/phones on, sometimes from 6am-11pm. Driving me insane, it is a care home for schizophrenics, so we do expect and tolerate reasonable noise 24/7, this is somewhat unnecessary and unfair on us tho, but staff are really dismissive toward neighbours :/
I'm so sad, I found my DREAM apartment and am working 3 jobs to afford to keep it because everything about it is just perfect and I honestly don't mind having to work extra to afford it, it's that perfect. But now after months of living here this really noisy guy moved in below me and it's ruining everything because he stays up banging things around super loudly all night long 😩😩 i am just so sad I know this is such first world problems but I can't function when I can't sleep
So sorry to hear this ☹️
Oh dear I feel for you how are managing now?
Don't know where you are in the world it call police, don't be afraid, I put up with nxt door noise for 30yrs and it gave me a heart condition and anxiety due to sleep deprivation. Anti social teams will get them out too.
Something similar is happening with me. Found my dream apartment and everything is perfect except the noisy family downstairs. They keep dragging and banging stuff even at night... it's really frustrating now! Hope you are doing better, do call the police or file a complaint. I am gonna do the same!
I'll pray for you (even if the problem has stopped now :)
Omg I thought I was the only one that whispered while at home…I have noisy neighbours above me and they are extremely nosey….I feel like my conversations are being listened to…it’s so awkward!!
I completely understand!!
Oh wooow I can relate!! Such bs right?! Edit: and to keep it 100 I even caught myself laughing silently while reading some comments here LOL
@@theaerialperspective5881 UPDATE: i will be moved out hopefully within the next 6 months into my own new house!!!! Finally!! after years of torment…🥺
@@hornsfirst Wooow.. that is something I'm sure jealous of! Congrats and enjoy. You will live a better life.
@@theaerialperspective5881 thank you and i pray for peace and quite for you one day as well..to be happy and free and to not worry about things like noisy neighbours. ❤️
Thanks for this. I seem to always have noisy neighbours, no matter where I live! I wish I could be one of those heavy sleepers! Things that have helped me are a fan, dehumidifier, a white noise app played through headband-earphones, silicon earplugs (not all at the same time, haha). Things that never work are speaking with the neighbours nicely, leaving them nice notes, leaving them annoyed notes, yelling at them, telling their landlord. Something my auntie and uncle once did was put a heavy metal CD on repeat, turn their speakers to the wall, put it on full volume and go out to work for the day - their neighbours never kept them awake ever again!
Been there done that. After an early Sunday morning of hours blasting the neighbor with 4 radios set to different stations, he came over and said, "I got the point." Bad neighbors are the worst.
@@Lili-xq9sn Haha, excellent plan and result! Well done, that must have felt good. Yep, being kept awake or repeatedly woken up at night is utter hell. I've moved house many times because of it.
@@lisabeaumont maybe this is why gated communities are springing up everywhere.
Serve up a nice knuckle sandwich if all courteous options have been exhausted. Hard to be loud when you are unconscious.
Great to read your reply. Neighbors 2 doors down have a noisy garage band and the noise permeates every room in our home (built in 1970s and no sound proofing. :( They have played over 5 hours straight tonight and it is really making me feel crazy. I have called the cops many times and am told they can't do anything unless it goes after 10pm. I work from home and I can't stay here when the noise is going on and I have to get in the car and leave. I don't think a blasting stereo would help other than to irritate the poor next door neighbors caught in the middle. Thinking of building a fence but not sure if it would help either due to how the land is situated. Don't want to move but may be our only option :(.....
The way I see its its a matter of lask of respect and ignorance. Its simple to deal with, they disturb you, so you disturb them. Shouldn't have to use any methods to deal with it, its just down to selfish people who have no regard for anyone except themselves.
Omg I thought I was the only one who uses dehumidifier to sleep! I discovered it quite randomly and haven’t being able to sleep without it ever since, even if there isn’t any noise at all 😂
It’s so good when you want to drown out some noise! My neighbours have gone now so I don’t use it anymore at night but will do if they return!
@@ShhTheSecretShopper😂❤😂
I’m currently wearing earplugs because my upstairs beignets have their tv full blast. I guess they want me to hear whatever bullshit they’re watching because I can hear it word for word. Even with earplugs in I still hear it
That’s sucks
Smash them back. Dont let them dominate you. Either way they'll play their t.v loud. Right?
You should change the title to "how to cope with noisy neighbours" I came here looking how to deal with them like take action
I know where BigFoot is, in the apartment above me. I have tolerated it for about 2 years. but I can’t anymore.The bad part is he is a part time employee of the landlord, he’s 26 going on 13. If I complain he becomes passive aggressive and him and his girlfriend start being super loud. So I stopped calling the office because obviously the landlord is more on his side then mine. The neighbors think his mother is boning someone in the office. So, now I have to move from my much loved apartment to a smaller one that cost more money just to get some peace.
Sorry to hear this! Some people are so disrespectful!
This the same reason why I left my previous apartment but my new place is a bit better
@@victoriabable2819 this is my last month. I can’t wait!!!!
@@CatEyedGoddess blessings to you hun ... I pray your next neighbors are better🤎🤎❗️
Flats above the ground floor are meant to be carpeted. If loud music is disturbing you, especially between 22pm and 7am, the environmental depart at your local council can have them turn the volume down low.
My neighbours are loud and stupid, but rent is less than half it is anywhere else around here...
Thank you for this video. My neighbours have been driving me nuts almost every night when they come home from the pub. I dug out my Bluetooth speaker for now to play some dehumidifier/white noise sounds as soon as they start and I can now sleep easier. It'll help with my anxiety! ❤️
I have extensive knowledge of bad neighbours so I can say I have the experience to help people, one mistake you can make is complaining to the housing, the moment the housing contacts your neighbours that's it! they will get worse, think of it this way and you will understand, its much like a fisherman, he sits around and throws his line into the water with the bait on the hook, waiting until he feels something grab the hook then he reels it in, its the same with a bad neighbour, so if you do not bite the bait the bad neighbour will leave you alone! do not even give them a sniff that you do not like what they are doing, it is different for music though, in this case you do need to say something, talk to neighbour first, if no joy go to housing if no joy then record them, get an incident diary, or make one! date and time it, add what is going on and how it is affecting you, might be hard to do but its going to help you in the end, once you have a big diary and loads of evidence then contact your council, they wil bring out a noise monitor and well they will be up in court, and of course this is against any housing tenancy agreement so they will be kicked out or should be, keep your cool, I know its hard, actually very difficult, just use the diary and any noise cancelling headphones as a weapon, a big fan in your bedroom is another good plan for blocking out sound whilst keeping you cool, all the best =)
Good idea about the fan. I definitely used that in the summer all night to keep me cool as well as for the noise
So true, we complained to management several times and they got worse. However, what what they failed to realize is that we can make noise too and be just as annoying. Let's just say they have calmed down TREMENDOUSLY.
@@AccessoriesAddict5528 My neighbours will record me if I did that and then make me out to be the one causing the trouble! And because I did that they will now be playing music or making banging noises very loud for months, not always the best thing dropping your frequency to your neighbours very low frequency, I stay on my frequency no matter what! But remember if your neighbours are crafty bastards like mine are then you have to keep quiet and catch them out when you can.
@@N4TXTV I understand. I tried to stay on my frequency, I really, truly did but I absolutely will not be bullied by a moronic, inconsiderate neighbor when we're paying $1600.00 in rent. I'm tired of feeling anxious, constantly anticipating when their noise will start back up again, (stomping back and forth, slamming drawers constantly, dragging furniture across the floor all day long), I have had ENOUGH and have taken back control!!! They have neighbors over them and also on the right hand side so even if this twit were astute enough to record, they couldn't prove that it was ME making the noise especially since I only use videos with indistinguishable noise and play them intermittently throughout the day and night. Hope things get better for you real soon.
@@AccessoriesAddict5528 Same as me, although I am in UK, I tried that approach got a huge THX sub woofer was like a cinema in here but I don’t like the noise to much and when I stopped they would play theres not during the day but during the evening which I just want silence then, they had like a weird noise that drove me around the bend and couldn’t record it coz no microphone could pick it up, they had the dryer on all night on spin shaking my bed, throwing things on the floor, knocking, telling me how much junk I had out when going for a piss by shouting! Robbing parcels and bins! Getting me locked up for a day in a police cell for nothing! I did nothing! Smoking very powerful fags that would cause my breathing to go bad, leaving things on my path, now its drugs and squatters and the housing wont do anything, bloody scary! No one should have to put up with that, we need to create a movement where we can gain back the power in a legal way to oust out these glorified urban criminals
When it was built doesn't matter, just matters what was used
You have a new subscriber. I was having a noisy neighbours 3 day suffering. The amazing guy came. Straight into my ears. Thank u lots. I got a eye mask to that blots out the light. Thank you lots.
Thank you for subscribing and watching! :)
I hate my neighbour so much! she puts the washing machine on 12 at night and I live in a flat also. Her daughters teenage kid is living there now with his friends and they are constantly laughing loud all night every night. I wanna seriously pot of out their windows! it was quiet in the block until she moved in.
Dealing with this now....trying to get out of the lease. I have acquired anxiety and sleepless nights! I've told management... nothing! And the kicker is this neighbor has only been here a week! The other neighbor has finally stopped with the loudness after several complaints, it only took a year for that one wow! I'm tired and don't want to break the lease, but....idk
It's always the new people that move somewhere and be so ignorant.They probably was put out from wherever they came from.Then they hear everyone at the new place is quiet but they move in with the foolishness.Pathetic!!!
Going thru that now with ghetto upstairs neighbors uughh
You of to play your late night raindrops sound and earplugs your ears
TOP TIP FOR SLEEPING WITH NOISY NEIGHBOURS: headband with speakers in. You will look and feel ridiculous but they mostly work.
I used to use ear plugs or ear bud type headphones but after getting awful ear infections, I had to find an alternative.
I have a gf that snores incredibly loud and we have drug users & drinkers that sit right under our bedroom window and outside our flat door. We also have people living below us that do very noisy DIY until the early hours, every single night without fail.
The headband headphones aren’t perfect but they drown out most of the noise and I can set an alarm to go off through them though I took a fair bit of trial and error to find an alarm that works through head phones.
The downside is that if you’re worried about getting broken into, chances are you won’t hear it if you do.
Good luck everyone. I hope whatever noise you’re experiencing stops soon
If you have noisy neighbours who play their music loud enough to interfere with the enjoyment of the unit you're in that you're _paying_ for, do what you can to find out if they have a blutooth stereo. We are in the midst of doing that by seeing what devices show up on our cell phone's blutooth system and then connecting to each and every one of them until we hear what we hope is a "What the fuck?!" or some variant of it come from our neighbour next to us.
That's when we'll know what his blutooth device is.
Thanks for this. When i first moved into my house we didn't hear our neighbours but a new family have moved in and it's not great.
We hear their conversations from our bedroom, they constantly slam doors when moving around the house to the extent our standing light, tv and windows vibrate.
I get up for work at 4am but i can never have an early night because the vibrations come through the wall to the bed.
I sleep with ear plugs now and don't hear my girlfriend coming in but hear the neighbours moving room to room.
I'm thinking of writing a polite note with me first saying if we're too loud call me because we can hear them and don't want to disturb them. Or something along those lines. Any tips or suggestions would be brilliant!
Here's 1st view for u! Keep posting videos never quit
I have neighbors who live behind me who love to get renovations done every time I get vacation. Loud Box fans come in handy. My living room one can produce up to 100 decibles loud. Blocks out all sorts of mowers and noisiest vehicles too.
Thanks for this tips.. the indian neigbors above me toddler cant stop running around i complained so many times but still the kid is like a devil in the house.. might try the earplugs
Earplugs work good for me
I can relate 😂
Funny got the same situation and I think the neighbour is either Indian or Pakistani (I think Pakistani)
Use the amazing plastic ear plugs it works
Thank you so much for your tips! The dehumidifier is so smart omg
I hope you have been sleeping better lately! I have just moved in to a new apartment (my first ever apartment) and it seemed so peaceful but last night my neighbour next door invited friends at 10:45 pm and they were talking SO loudly and playing music, even singing. I mean... why??? it's a Tuesday night? People have to go to work next day?
I cannot understand how unconsidered can ppl be...
What i do is sleep with noise blockers in the ears and they help, but it's a bit uncomfortable i hope it gets easier :')
Sending hugs and support with your neighbors, i wish all homes had noise blocking walls 😵
I feel your pain. How is it for you now? I have very inconsiderate neighbours just like you and I also struggle to understand why they behave like this.
You seem like a nice person. Thank you for sharing the tips.
Very good video, it helps to know I'm not alone in this agonizing neighbour situation! Good tip with the dehumidifier. This flat is mega damp so I was planning on setting one up anyway, but the noise blurring could work well for some types of noise. Are you still wearing the earplugs at night? Noise pollution seems to be a constant struggle nowadays :(
Glad you found this useful.
Luckily the neighbours below me have now moved out and there’s someone much quieter downstairs and no longer need to wear earplugs. I do still keep the dehumidifier on, for the noise aspect but mainly to help the humidity levels
Thank you for all the tips. I don’t even know why such people are so entitled when they are making noise, maybe they are not sensible enough of others and are simply selfish people. Good to see your content
Any tips for NOSEY neighbors. Before entering their home they stand in the hall listening to what is going around in my apartment. I KNOW BC THEY GOT DOGS AND THEY BARK. (their dogs smell them) its annoying AF
A friend gave me the most amazing advice.If you have a Stereo System tune. Select Am and go between stations so you hear just white noise. I don't know how it does it but it somehow cancels their loud voices and yelling.
Cool video. The "wax" earplugs you mentioned are also available in silicon btw and I can tell you they are supposed to be "on ear", so you dont actually push them into your ear canal, but rather form it so it stays on top of that (outer ear). That way it blocks sounds from getting into the ear canal. The ones I got really work well and are not as taxing to the ears as they are NOT to be used inside the ear canal. Maybe try, they're good.
Worth a try. Thanks for the tip!
Brand?
Is it normal to hear your neighbours on the other side of the house walking about
Hi bless you it’s horrible isn’t it my next door is a massive annoyance also wakes me up every morning coughing and the dog barking always early I the morning I invested in a Amazon dot I listen to audible so I use this on it the music and podcasts but there are white noise and I listen to relaxing sounds to sleep to my fav the train in the rain can’t sleep with out it no if this get particularly noisy I just say Alexa turn it up no need to move also listen to bbc radio on it and have one down stairs also wouldn’t be with out it they always have an offer on there dots also .
It can be very depressing with Inconsiderately selfish folks wish I could but so where quiet should be in the middle of a field lol treat your self to one xxxxx your lovey by the way ❤️🤓🥰
It’s so annoying. I’m currently sitting here while they play thumping music!
@@ShhTheSecretShopper thumping music is the worst....so sorry. :(
Try Orange Noise 10 hr video on CZcams. It covers low frequency and higher frequency noises. With speakers it covers my loud neighbors stomping.
I think I'll try it thanks for video.🤗🤗🤗🤗
They sell the white noise machine or sound spa which is the same thing at rite aid CVS Walmart etc
Bless your heart, ear plugs by the way are a must have in your house regardless of wether you have bad neightbors or not especially if you live in a commercial area.
I have a vindictive neighbor that jumps every day every night and it's draining me. I hear her below me doing this every two seconds. I tried white noise and I still hear it. 😣😣😰😰🤨😔
How do I deal with neighbour below banging loads and one across him banging in retaliation
Maybe gang up with the retaliatory neighbour...they are as bothered by the bad neighbour as you are.
My neighbour was a nightmare until I knocked on his door and asked him turn it down. He said no so I waited for the music went off
(he went bed) then I played baba oriely by the who for 9 hours straight.
He then knocked on my door and said sorry point taken.
I just LOVE how these idiots are so insensitive when it comes to bothering others with noise but when you bother THEM with noise, all of a sudden they get it.
How to say get a power floor fan turn up high level
Our neighbours constantly moved their dining chairs every time they sit for dinner and so we can hear that horrible scraping noise as they have wooden floors. They do thus EVERY single night - I don’t get how they can’t hear this themselves and yet we can hear this through our wall (we live in a semi-detached house with them on the other side).
Try a deaf dementia neighbour who blasts the tv half the night..
I have noisy neighbors downstairs with children running and jumping. If we bang on the floor they bang back. The manager is aware of it but she takes their side as well as the management.
It's the absolute worse to have noisy twats for neighbors and forced into to reducing your quality of life just to drown them out. You can't reason with most people because the figure the world is theirs. People get killed for less these days, so I'm very surprised that wild acts of revenge didn't become an epidemic during quarantine. I almost gave up hope in avoiding a life sentence during the quarantine, but it's still a great challenge to stay calm daily.
I use the silicone putty ear plugs, it moulds to your ear hole, sealing the edges and it cuts a lot of noise out. Foam ones aren’t sealing every bit of my ear, and sometimes fall out once they’ve expanded again. Look up the putty ones, they’re for swimming usually but I think they’re better. You don’t form a tube and push it in the ear canal, you just use it flat and seal the hole. Like using plumber putty on a leaky pipe, you get the idea
I use it also,blocking some sound but not all of it,definitely better than nothing.
@@DR-86 What I’ve discovered is, having ear defender ‘headphone’ things. The kind of things you’re meant to wear on building sites. I got 36 db ones off amazon about £15. Really good! For sleep, I use silicone putty, then the defenders, and I have to sleep on my back, but I’ve recently got a pillow with a hole in it so I can fit my ear defenders in and sleep on my side. It sounds ridiculous but that’s how loud these idiot neighbours are, and this works for me.
When I’m just at home, I use them on top of wireless small ear buds. As soon as they get in and start the noise next door, I put my ear buds in, put on CZcams, Spotify, Audible, whatever, and put the defenders on top. A massive difference, I almost can’t hear them at all, which is a miracle. Right this minute, I’m in the middle of getting these idiots removed, me and other neighbours have teamed up to sort it out, legally with housing lawyers, I pray we’re successful.
Try the ear defenders on top of putty and/or ear buds, it’s made a massive difference for me. I looked up my amazon orders and YANKUIRUI was the ones I got, £15.99
Teaching people to use dehumidifier to disturb their neighbours! Do you think it’s good? 😢We have been suffering from a lot of noise-including dehumidifier noise from our upstairs neighbour.
I drown out the noise but I can feel his heavy feet it vibrates my bed when he gets up in the night to pee. His bed room is above my bed room. I wish they left carpets on the units off the around. I have the kitchen fan on, bathroom fan on, a regular fan and white noise on one machine and rain on the other and he still wakes me up.
The ONLY solution is to live in a HOUSE.
that is the aim!
I live in a house and there is a SIGNIFICANT distance between me and the nuisance neighbor. I have never experienced any problems living in apartments. Stop equating apartments with noisy neighbors.
Thank you..👩🏾🎨👍🏾👍🏾
Doesn't necessarily work in your scenario as you have more than one neighbour, but only one problematic one - but if any of you live in a terraced house and get nowhere speaking to the inconsiderate neighbours, take up drumming right on the party wall. Full acoustic. Become very passionate, strictly between 7am and 11pm. Note when they wake up, what time they get home from work and when they try to (lol) go to sleep, as these are the most impactful times to play.
Always start as loud as possible and when the council inevitably get involved, make tiny adjustments like playing for a few minutes less each day and purchasing terrible soundproofing, for when they ask for evidence of effort made. Key is not to start with any soundproofing or deadening devices on the kit because you can always work down once the complaint is made, but never up.
It took a few months before they moved out and I did keep drumming, but replaced the acoustic with an electric and did the soundproofing job properly. Turned out drumming was actually a lot of fun. Bullies can't handle it when the tables turn.
My neighbor walks so loudly above me and then their dog barks all day long it drives me crazy
They have rechargeable and plug in White noise machines that is what I use and it works perfectly.. the White noise button on it is the best one to use
What is a white noise machine?
Some people are so stressed and frustrated it unbelievable. I live in a temporary place and my next door neighbours have been living here for 6 going 7years, I moved here in October last year and just keep myself to myself and I can see it really get to them because I'm not paying them no attention or time.
It really gets to them and they slam the door even more. Lol it funny to me now because they are constantly on their feet lol
That’s quite odd. You don’t have to interact with your neighbours! There’s no rule for it!
@@ShhTheSecretShopper I know right. I guess she wanted to befriend me by saying hello every time she sees me but when I noticed the type of person she was, I then cut her off completely. All that I guess really got to her. But who cares
This is so relatable!!! I sometime use ear plugs to deal with them 😢
My nervous system has a weird reaction when I use ear plugs. I get these “body shocks”. Can’t explain it. Thank you for this video though, anything helps.
Play your raindrops sound dark screen and give them a taste of there own medicine
@@lifewithgabbz5205 : What raindrops cd?
I am living currently in athens and everyonene is so noisy I thought I was the problematic one.
i use earplus , but my ears hurt if using it for long time 😑
I keep my air conditioner on all the time. It helps, so I can't hear everything
Great advice ❤
thanks for this. ❤
Dealing with loud noisy youngster neighbors. Is loads of fun. Had to go warn them. Ugh. I have head phones on and I still hear my neighbors. lol.
Fans and calming/anxiety music 432hz ex.. will get rid most of the bass
Why are some people so inconsiderate 😔 these are good tips, thanks
Will be trying 😊
Look what a time now, I cannot sleep, neighbours floor makes noises under my head. Terrible people they cannot repair floor.
Good tips!!
Also, hear music with some headphones, it works!
Buy JBL bass reproductor and put it on your floor for downstairs neighboors and you can play any sound or any music through that and for upstairs neighboors, put it up on the closet near their floor wall. It is really powerfull, i get rid off my neighboors noise by this idea and they were very quite since then. Nothing ever helped before. Greetings
They have noise blocking AirPods they can be expensive. I don’t know how much they are my son gave me some. I still hear the prick neighbours anyway.
White noise was amazing for me I never hear much anymore
What brand of machine do you have?
What is white noise?
Lol. Sold out!!
Why not just ask them to observe better social etiquette?
My problem is the opposite. The problem is that my neighbors below me are way too sensitive to noise. I got a complaint from my landlord for making very small noises like footsteps! I can't walk around my apartment without disturbing anyone? That is BS!
Maybe your footsteps aren’t as soft as you think?
If people can hear them they’re loud enough to file a complaint.
@@molamolalaaa2968 The problem is the man is old and he sleeps most of the day. He is retired and never leave the house. He even complains during the day, not just at night. He even complains about me shutting doors and vanuuming the carpet. It's not my fault that the building lacks decent sound proofing and the guy has no life.
@@Patrick19833 I would implore you to be just a little more understanding. What's simple noise to you, is amplified to the person underneath you due to poor construction. That's obviously not your fault, but a little empathy goes a long way.
Omg. I'm also in an old apartment with wooden creaking floors that I love. My neighbours below can hear me moving around the apartment. I don't wear shoes and am light on my feet, so there's nothing more I can do about it. Luckily, I'm quiet and a good neighbour, and they have learned to live with pattering foot sounds.
I have the same problem, but i am the one who can hear anyone below me walking at night. I think they are barefoot. Try to walk in something that don't make any noise.
I almost lost my life & ended up back homeless again because of noisy neighbors.
I really think this problem should be taught in school for adolescent kids so they can grow up being more considerate youngsters.
3 of my housemates who are in just around 18-25 really enjoy having party at home (well I guess it's cheaper that way) and have little to no consideration to the other tenants. Loud music, dancing, talking loudly, singing, smoking, you name it.
I don't get why you would be so loud up to the point that someone has to complain right to your face in order for you to stop the loudness (or not at all?), especially someone who attends tertiary education. I understand that education may not have anything to do with kindness or living in harmony with other people. But still, it is quite disappointed that a person who has studied up to that level and has bad manners. What is the point of education if students can't become a better person?
That's why, parents, please teach your kids to be considerate. And from now on if possible, I'll voice this problem so hopefully they could include this topic in school soon.
Why the bloody hell did you remove my previous comment 10 minutes ago. It was an update. Have you got some weird settings in place.. And you were never good enough to even give me a reply in the first place months ago. I won't Bother with your channel ever again.
Good tips
Ear plugs have been a life saver.
Good luck cuz I got jacked up neighbors too.. who live underneath of me and I can't understand what is their purpose of being so loud and obnoxious sometimes banging on the walls and s***
you shouldn't have to suffer, problem is the landlords not standing to there rules, i suffer bad with this, i have neighbours who jus bang from morning to night, the sleep about 2 hours a days, i think they are on drugs, called landlord, there response and attitude stinks about the whole situation, i spoken to them, landlord, so yesterday was enough i told the man this is your last warning your taking the piss, but again ha no it didn't work, I'm sat here now and there doors are bang bang. i hate noisy neighbours
I’m so sorry to hear this. It’s horrible
Put high pitch sound , night and put some thing in your ears good night
I work night shift so it's even worst.
Nice
Omg. I came here for tips, but instead I got ASMR vibes. Lol. You should consider doing ASMR videos.
Where's the gun?
I find my shot gun helps... Guess your not allowed guns in Australia..
Quiet burger
My channel videos are dedicated to the crazy noise coming from my neighbour's. Some fighting outside my home and making up a whole heap of noise.
Iraqi underneath me NEVER stops shouting into his phone, awful. I turn my t.v up then go out. If i cant have peace then you certainly wont. And radio on pointing directly at his bedroom at 7.00am🤡He was rabbiting till 3.00am😂Welcome to England🖒
