That's just what you have to deal with when you choose to live in a home where you share walls/floors/etc. I don't agree that's its fair to complain when people are simply living. Now, if they are being obnoxious (regularly hosting loud parties, way late into the night) that's different.

This is the truth. In the past, I've lived on the bottom floor, I've lived on the top floor (the only apt on the top floor), and right now I live in a middle floor and i've never not heard other people. Where I live now, I don't own a tv. But I know commercial jingles because of my neighbors tv. Pretty much, that's city living.

But also, it is unfair of them to ask you to be quiet at 9:30. I'm pretty sure 11 pm is universal "quiet hour."

They can ask if it's continuous noise. If I want to relax at 9:30pm and can't do that because some fool is upstairs working out over top of me knowing we have hardwood floors then I;m going to knock on your door.
