Community Bulletin: Dealing with Noise Complaints from Upstairs Neighbours Our building management office regularly receives complaints about noise coming from units on higher floors, particularly footsteps, furniture being dragged, and children playing late in the evening. While some noise is a normal part of apartment living, we want to remind all residents of a few guidelines that can help keep the building peaceful for everyone. First, quiet hours are in effect from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. daily, during which residents should avoid loud activities such as vacuuming, running washing machines, or moving furniture. Second, we strongly recommend that residents add rugs or carpet padding to hard flooring, especially in living rooms and hallways, as this significantly reduces impact noise traveling to the unit below. If you are experiencing an ongoing noise issue, please try speaking directly with your neighbour first, as many people are unaware their daily activities are audible below. If the issue continues after a polite conversation, residents can submit a written complaint to the management office, which will follow up with the unit in question. Repeated verified complaints may result in a formal warning under the building's lease agreement. We ask everyone to be considerate, since sound travels more than people often expect in multi-unit buildings.
