Chosen Solution

I’m a woman living in a small box apartment in Los Angeles with thin walls separating my place from my neighbor. I didn’t have a problem until this new person moved in few months ago after my former neighbor moved some place else. Like I said, we had thin walls so I could hear any loud sounds from next door. This new neighbor would be watching !!%@ in the wee hours of the night not even minding lowering the volume. I’ve been stopping myself from knocking on his door and asking him to have some decency to use earphones since some of us couldn’t get some sleep because of his noise. Should I just go file a noise complaint on him to the building management? Should I just knock on his door whenever he’s not watching those visual materials? It’s really annoying and has been causing major inconvenience. Kiev ladies like me are not used to any confrontation though but it’s really bothering me.

Hi @lyndiepadz28 , Give your neighbour a chance to resolve your problem regarding the noise first, before making a complaint to the building management. I suggest that you go and talk to him/her. They may be hard of hearing for example and are unaware of the noise impact on other people. Be calm about it and explain the impact that it is having on you. If they are not interested in coming to some sort of compromise with you regarding this, then you can take it further. Just my 2 cents.
