Comment preview: My apartment building screams. The building has three apartments in it, so there aren't many people around here. When you leave my apartment there's a little stairwell hallway sort of room that just goes outside to the front of the building. My boyfriend a ....

Comment preview: 1. 1987 - Massive (12"+) unexpected snowfall in early October caused region-wide power outages during the middle of the night. I awoke to complete silence in my apartment, and the only sounds I heard outside were dripping water coming off the roof, dista ....

Comment preview: To all the people saying the cops are dumb: The reason this works is the foam. When the cop responds to the noise complaint the will probably first go to the Vic's apartment hear the music nice and loud. Then go up to the perps apartment and since no one i ....

Comment preview: Upvote for truth. It's pretty common to mistake "fewest assumptions" for "least complex answer". Here's an example that hopefully illustrates the difference. You come home one day and just as you're about to open your front door, you hear the very distinct ....

Comment preview: I called the cops on a neighbor because it sounded like domestic violence. Okay, strike that. It sounded enough like domestic violence that I could plausibly deny that I knew they were having obnoxiously loud sex at 4AM on a Tuesday. Mind you, these wer ....

Comment preview: Having worked in software for a while it really shouldn't surprise me anymore that things can get this bad. At least it sounds like enough people in the right positions finally got annoyed enough to get things moving in the right direction. It may not soun ....

Comment preview: Serious. It was around 10:30pm I lived in an apartment at the time around a year ago and I had just stepped out for a quick smoke. Everything seemed fine. It was a clear night middle of the month so the moon wasn't full or anything out of nowhere I hear th ....

Comment preview: My wife and I had lived together for a few years and moved into a 2 level apartment. Occasionally, I started to hear a child's scream. Just one scream, and definitely from inside the apartment. It would happen once every few days, and it was clearly an a ....

Comment preview: > Tunguska was a less powerful explosion than krakatoa, which hit an estimated 180db. Yeah, **100 miles from the source**! It was ~310dB close to it. _ > heck, for all intents and purposes 190db is impossible Yeah, no. 190db is not impossible by any ....

Comment preview: Not a police officer, but for a few years I was a security guard at a high end apartment complex. I had two calls to investigate hauntings there. One was nothing special. Guy claimed that there was a 'little girl' who was haunting him and he said that he ' ....

Comment preview: I subletted a studio apartment (similar to OP's, very old building, high ceiling, loft bed) for a summer a few years back. When I say old, I mean there was no way you could ever walk silently on the hallway floors because they seemed to creak at the slight ....

Comment preview: I was visiting a girl I liked at her university in Ontario. The game was on about 3 days into my visit and we went to our mutual friends' house to watch it. Of course it went into overtime. Of course we were all on the edge of the seats. Of course we screa ....

Comment preview: As a rabbit owner, I'm really confused how things got this far in the first place. I'm assuming things like your sheets, blankets, and clothing were in your bedroom. Did you not start keeping your door shut after the first few incidents? The same goes for ....

Comment preview: Well, you could try and work with them... since you clearly ARE a reasonable person (unlike them). What I'd do is go to them and say, "I really want to make sure we're not bothering you. I'd like to get an idea of how loud my TV sounds in your apartment, ....

Comment preview: I would settle for buildings that were constructed to be soundproof between apartments. My last apartment experience: on one side, the people who sound like a herd of elephants going up and down their stairs (louder than we sounded to ourselves!); and on t ....

Comment preview: I had just started subleasing from this apartment. I go to bed one night and everything is locked up, including my bedroom door. I wake up around 3am, to this jingling sound. At first I'm just dazed and confused, and like...what the hell's making that soun ....

Comment preview: If I were her, I'd call the police on their non-emergency line and explain that the man who was arrested for harassing her on Saturday was back at your door yesterday. See what you need to start working on a restraining order. Call the apartment office wh ....

Comment preview: Get a few laptops (minimum three) and space them out in a large triangle. Make sure you know the gps locations of all three and make sure they are far enough apart for a noticable time-delay between the sounds. Synchronize the times on all of the laptops u ....

Comment preview: Just to add to this: there have been multiple studies that have shown this in a clever way. In one study they had people call in to check on availability of apartments. In each case the person gave the same info on employment and income. The only differenc ....

Comment preview: Non-legal advice here: This woman obviously feels threatened by you. You need to recognize that you are not entitled to anything from her. You sound frustrated, but if you hope to get anywhere in this situation the first thing you need to do is check your ....

Comment preview: It's simultaneously not as bad as it sounds, and worse than it sounds. Day to day it's just not a big deal 95% of the time. Even when I'm confronted by religious people I can move the conversation in a calm direction and use the opportunity to educate them ....

Comment preview: I used to live in a basement apartment - there was an exterior stairwell down, a locked and deadbolted door, and inside a short hallway that had my front door and the front door to the other apartment. I was awoken one evening when my husband was standing ....

Comment preview: Here is what I understand of the case, after reading the article and then scanning the Supreme Court ruling and dissent. The cops were in pursuit of a suspect after a drug buy. The chased him to an apartment complex and, in the confusion, knocked on the wr ....

Comment preview: This is my first ever post on Reddit. It seems so cliche to start by saying "I don't believe in ghosts...but..." But that's where I'm coming from. Here goes: a few years ago I moved in to an old 1 bedroom apartment in Melbourne, Australia. This was the fir ....
