The idea here is not to ask the tenant to shut up but figuring out the way that he can do his activities and still not disturb others.It’s possible they showered at times of the day when I wasn’t home or when I wasn’t in the bathroom. The police also have specific powers to deal with excessive noise. They might be able to issue fines to people who have failed to stop making excessive noise after being asked to do so, or they might confiscate sound-producing equipment.

There are two types of inconsiderate people that you want to consider.

Basically the neighbour(s) upstairs have children who can be extremely noisy, to the point I can't relax in the evening, and even turn my TV off and just sit in silence at times, because I can't believe how noisy they are. I have lived in my downstairs flat for 20 years now. In that timeframe I have had approx 5 different upstairs neighbours and never had an issue... until the current tenants moved in 3 - 4 years ago.

Why Neighbors Hear You Walking

Calmly discussing with your neighbour how their actions are affecting you may be best way to resolve the issue. If you can’t reach an agreement, you can ask a mediator to help. Use the Civil Mediation Council's search tool to find a mediator. You can also use headphones or earbuds if they work with your TV. Then, you can listen to your favorite shows as loud as you want without disturbing others. 6. Can Downstairs Neighbors Hear Cats and Dogs?
