What could my upstairs neighbor possibly be doing to make this much noise? - Lemmy.World

Their foot steps sound like they just have 2 pegs for feet… they hit so hard. And they frequently, almost daily, spend the entire evening stomping around the entire footprint of their apartment. Are there people who really just get the top floor, and think “I’m so smart, and everyone else can get fucked” then proceed to make all the fucking noise in the world?

I kind of wish that multi-unit housing came with sound isolation ratings.

we need to put sound insulation into the building codes. it won't increase rents much since all the money's in the land anyways. personally I've never had an actual issue with noise form other units but I'll grant this to the people who do.

I don’t really want to force a specific floor on things, which is what that would do, though.

Some people won’t care as much as others relative to price and may not want to pay what it’d cost. And some people may want a much-quieter unit than any floor would place.

The problem is that they can’t make an informed decision now because the information isn’t available.

The problem is the information isn’t available. There’s no place to leave reviews of apartments. That seems like a no-brainer to me.
