    I’ve found the opposite.

    A lot of people don’t understand just how paperthin those walls are or they come from an environment of “there will be noise”. If someone actually, politely, asks them to keep it down during reasonable hours, then people usually will.

    The issue is when people pound on the door as though the noise maker is the greatest asshole ever. That triggers spite. Same with unreasonable demands.

    Like, if someone asks me to keep it down at 10 PM? I will apologize like hell and turn it down. You ask me to keep it down at 9 am? I will probably tell you to go fuck yourself and explain that you live in an apartment building and there is going to be noise.


    Fun story time! One of my exes was very much “the loud neighbor”. Clomping around in heavy slippers at all hours of the night, playing loud music, turning up her tv, having a subwoofer in an apartment, etc. After I realized and felt bad I had an awkward talk like “hey… have any of your neighbors ever complained? Because if this were my apartment they would hear this god awful lawyer show from the lobby”. She didn’t believe me so I told her to just step out into the hallway and then she was MORTIFIED. Immediately turned down everything and unplugged the sub. Even wrote up a nice letter that she taped on all her neighbors’ doors to apologize.

    Within a week there had been a complaint filed against her for “vandalizing” someone’s door… by taping an apology note on there.

    Good times.
