Noises from next door

I don't think I have thin walls, but sometimes at night I can hear the people that live behind me dogs howling and barking at night. Once one dog start, they all start.

Cows. Did you know that cows moo at night? Well, I sure didn't until a few month ago when the man who owns some of the land across the street from me moved some of his cattle to that field. Apparently, there are about six females and one bull having a good ole time over there. Fine, my big dog likes to bark at them..my grandchildren who live behind me like to look at them. But, as the weather down here in Florida has changed so that we can open our windows in the evening, the normally quiet night has been replaced with "Moooooo!".

Hi bluemoon, I am very lucky in that my apartment walls seem to be very sound proof. I very rarely hear much at all from next door and certainly nothing that would keep me awake at night. Once in a great while, she cranks her music and I can hear it somewhat in my place but it is not so loud that it bothers me and not at really late hours. Someone here mentioned traffic and I have to go along with that where I live. I'm more apt to hear the traffic outside than I am my neighbors.

my house doesn't have thin walls. it probably wouldn't matter anyway since i'm such a heavy sleeper.

Well in my case,our walls were not thin,But my problem with my neighbor is they were always smoking then the smoke always reach our house.The thing is, the reason why we move to this house is that,it is located in the mountain and it means,we want to smell fresh air every time we go home but it seems that the air is not fresh anymore because of what they are doing.

Hi sweetie. Wondered what happened to you?? Nope, we have very thick walls and the neighbors ain't that near. Thank goodness for that. Imagine you using the loo and someone can hear you. TATA.

hi bluemoonpavilion oh my G yes the sounds from the little vietnamese'stores behind my room. the refrigeration units buzz all night so invested in some good sturdy ear plugs. then at dawn the garbage truks co me in and keep honking as they are backing up waking me up and then as its almost six I have to get up.see I am in Southern Calfornia, Garden Grove but am also in the middle of what is called little Saigon as these were the boat refugees who came here from after the war . a 25 square blocks consists of mostly Vietnamese stores. I sort of like them as neighbors as they are very thoughtful and kind, and rarely do we see a police car in this area, and usually thats because of a Caucasian couple who fight all the time.Also they impress me as they do not shunt their elders into nursing homes, they keep them in their own homes and respect them.Sometimes I sit outside in front of this center and soak up some sun. the older vietnamese always say hellp as they pass by. the younger ones do not but that not unusual.so I too have noiese and without my earplugs I cou ld not sleep at all, too many noises. then there is the town bark late at night when One dog barks and a zillion others answer.

WHOOAHHH!.....OMG, that is a really very thin wall u have there, even the sound of snoring is heard-able. my walls is quite thick here..only a litte sound could be heard from the room next door..only if it is really loud..gah! XD

Good day to you Bluemoonpavilion, The room where I lived now does not have a thick wall. It is just a man-made partitioned room that is made by wood. It was only 2 days back when I feel very disturbed with the noise that I heard. Wherein, it was already 1 am and yet they are still talking and laughing in their loud voices. And not even minding that they are disturbing other people who are already asleep. For this reason, I have a terrible headache when I woke up the next day. Since, the my sleeping cycle was turned abnormal during that time.

hi blue! i have an experience about the nest door people snoring.i can't believe it at first that it was actually someone snoring!because i live in an apartment noises and sound can be hear anywhere even in my house.others make some noise, we also make some noise,we are just fine with it. i do not know whether the wall is thin or thick but usually we can hear people voices,things dropping, steps etc.

Hi, bluemoonpavilion! Fortunately I live in an apartment on the 14th floor, it is very high so I'm not disturbed much by noises. But still I can hear some honk because my apartment is beside a busy road. It's very difficult to find a quiet place in urban zones here in China because we have too many people.

Every freaking night and it is so irritating, as it is the upstairs new neighbors who for some odd reason decide that their day starts when we go to bed. As who in the heck has their two year old pounding and running around at 2am every night. I do not get it as all day it is very quiet although they are up there and then night falls they hammer, put loud music and or TV and think it is okay. We have complained to them and the landlord but they do not get how irritating it is each time we have to hear it. We no longer want to live here and or underneath anyone anymore, so as soon as spring comes we will be moving as it it truly irritating especially when the landlord does nothing about it.

I just so remember when I lost my normal sleeping pattern because I work night shift before. I covered our bedroom's windows with cardboards because I became sensitive to light and worse my mom just can't lower down her voice. It was so horrible. I can hear and sense every single step they make. =(

Haha, how funny about the snoring! However, it's unfortunate about the thin walls. lol. Where I live, the houses aren't close enough to hear through the walls, and I don't live in apartment, but I still hear noises from neighbors quite often. It can be a bit annoying when I'm in bed and the neighbors, for whatever reason, decide it's time for a nightly swim. You can hear them laughing obnoxiously loud, splashing and making all sorts of noise. That's the most bothersome thing for me, because I wouldn't mind it in the day, but at 12 am or 1 am, it's a little crazy!

Well the noises that I hear are mostly traffic sounds from outside and occasionally, 'marbles dropping' sound above the ceiling. I don't hear any quarreling noises. Sometimes when I open the door, I do hear the arrogant neighbor shouting at her children and it's dam noisy. Nowadays, we prefer to close the door. More peace this way.

The neighbor's dog has a bad habit of informing everyone within barking distance of how angry he is at the world. He's kinda like rush Limbah, only without the commercial breaks. And with better body odor, and hygiene I swear, he won't be quite after 11 pm. It's getting to be unbearable. I've begun carrying on a conversation with him. in tune to his bark patterns. I'd be like: So, you come here often? dog: woof woof woof Yeah, I know what you're saying. It's strange how things work out that way. Want some gum dog: woof woof Yeah I know, it's a nasty habit. dog: woof woof...woof woof woof What? You say you want to give me all of your life savings because I'm such a good person?!?! dog: grrrrr Chill pooch, I'm juss messin wit chu!

My walls are by no means thin since they are made of concrete. However, I still hear the people next door either slamming doors or starting up their car in the early early morning. They also love to talk loud so you hear their conversations as if they were in your house. I really thought with a concrete house you wouldn't hear so much but you do. Animals also keep me away with the cats in heat, crickets and roosters and lets not forget the barking dogs on my block.

I live in a townhouse complex and I believe that the walls that separate neighbors is also too thin. I have a couple of kids who could be rowdy sometimes. And a few times, neighbors have already complained. Thankfully, the first one who complained has already moved away. And this new neighbor who's complained a couple of times is very understanding. She just wants to let us know that it sometimes disturbs her dog.

I wish walls are made of hollow blocks instead of woods to eliminate all those noise. I am irritated to the swearing of our African- American neighbors. They are always shouting and the music is so loud too! Then on the left side of our house we have Mexicans they will turn on their loud music while they are swimming. Sometimes I get startled when I heard a loud sound after they dived on their swimming pool. ANd this is the most annoying, every past midnight one of the Mexican will knock on their door. I think he works late. He will knock so loud and if nobody will open the door. He will yell, "Hurry Up! Open the door"

If the van is a rockin'...don't come a knockin'...those are the noises that would disturb me. In a similar incident, I had to stay in a hotel for a recent business trip, and found that someone within three rooms of me was snoring so loud it woke me up in the middle of the night. It always makes me wonder the neighbors can hear....then I get disturbed and dont think about it any longer.
