The following is an actual case. If you have any concerns about noise between floors, please send an email to [email protected] and we will consult with experts to find a solution.
I live on the top floor of an apartment in Sinjung-dong, Bucheon, Gyeonggi-do. I really hate holidays or public holidays.
It’s because of the noise between floors during the last Lunar New Year holiday. My heart starts pounding every time there’s a holiday. My parents live in Jeju Island, and I’m thinking about going there during the holiday, but I’m worried about the time and money, so I’m going a little early before the holiday. But I’m worried that I’ll have to go to my parents’ house in the future, even if it costs money. I’m so frustrated. I thought I’d rather be on duty at the company during the entire holiday, so I applied for the on-duty job.
Even during the last Lunar New Year, I ran out to the apartment complex’s walking path late at night more than once because of the clanking and thumping noise all night long.
The upstairs neighbor said, “It’s a holiday, so the family is gathered here and the house is crowded. I’ll be quiet,” but it didn’t change at all. They even spoke in a slightly drunken voice, so it didn’t change at all to the point where I wondered if they heard me at all. It was a holiday, so why were they being so sensitive?
I’m so stressed out from all the noise and fuss that I’m going to have to make during this Chuseok holiday, and I’m thinking about leaving the house and going somewhere. But I’m so frustrated that I’m thinking about this when I’m not even in my own house.
I can really feel what they say about not wanting to go home because of the noise between floors. I thought I should understand because everyone has their own circumstances, but now I’m angry that they’re the only ones who understand every time. I think they wouldn’t have gotten this angry if they were usually quiet, but I think they’re living like this because they think there’s no other house because they’re on the top floor and there’s no noise between floors.
It’s good to have family gatherings during the holidays, but I hope that people will be aware that there are neighbors who don’t do that and observe public etiquette. At the very least, I hope that people will not make noise or make noise inside the house until late at night.
During the holiday season, noise between floors is worse than usual due to visits from relatives, while the number of staff at the management office is minimized. As a result, the people who are suffering from noise between floors face each other directly, and when conflicts of opinion arise, they often escalate into accidents.
During the holiday period, you must request that the management office (or floor noise management committee) staff convey the notice of inter-floor noise to only those visiting the apartment, and that they continuously broadcast warnings of inter-floor noise.
For upstairs, you should write down the approximate date and time of your relatives’ visit during the holiday period on a memo and attach it to the lower floor front door or deliver it through the management office (or the floor noise management committee). For example, you can deliver a simple message such as “Guests will be coming to our house from 2 PM to 5 PM on the 00th. We will try to minimize noise between floors. Thank you for your understanding.” A simple gesture of sincerity can greatly alleviate the other person’s anger.
