My family moved in last month and
we are having trouble with noise from the room next door.
Nothing happened for a few days, but
there is a heavy bass of music in the morning,
sometimes it echoes until midnight
and I cannot sleep,
I talked to the room owner, but he told me to tell
security when it is noisy,
and he went to the room. They went to my room, but it didn't change at all and I don't care at all,
I was told that I should move out, but I just moved out last month and I still have a contract.
If anyone has the same situation or solution
please advise.

Hello. I really don't like the noise.
I'm sorry to hear that.
I think the only way is to report it
again and again to security. Keep complaining that the noise is so loud that you can't sleep.
If security doesn't do anything, you can report it to the management company.
Please do your best!

I was also suffering from an almost ongoing noise problem with the unit next door.
They were young people sharing a room, but
they played loud voices and music at night, and when I rang the doorbell to warn them, they couldn't hear me because of the noise.
We complained repeatedly to the management company of the apartment. Recently, I told the company that I would have to call the police, and they told me to do so.
Fortunately, the resident will be moving out at the end of this month ( I am not sure if they terminated his contract ).

and long story of my own, but I believe Topi's neighbor is in violation of the state noise ordinance ( I've included a link below ).
7 am - 10 pm is 60 dBA : Normal conversation ・ Chimes ・ Inside a car going 40 km/h
10 pm - 7 am is 50 dBA : Outdoor air conditioner ・ Quiet office
is good for emitting noise level.
If I understand correctly, this is not the noise level on the side where you can hear it, but on the side where you are emitting it.
So the neighbor is clearly in violation of the ordinance.

As #2 tonton mentioned, I think it would be a report to security, and then the management company.
I think it would be a good idea to tell them that it is a violation of the ordinance by also including a copy of the ordinance at that time.
If that doesn't work, then the police ( or Non-Emergency ) may be an option.
I talked to some local friends and they said to just call the police, and the threshold for getting there was not high ( I myself did not call them after all ).

I hope the problem will be resolved soon.

Whether you live in a condo or townhouse, you will have a manager, so contact the manager.

1. the management company, 2. the manager. Email or call both of them with your complaint.
You can also attach video evidence of the loud music.

The person making the noise should receive a warning at first, and if it continues, a citation.


It doesn't matter if it's morning or night, if you think you are making too much noise, please file a complaint.
Security can warn you, but there is nothing else they can do.
The manager or the management company can issue a warning, la.

Downstairs in the condo I used to live in,
there was a couple that moved in who were very loud at night,
I told the management office, but they wouldn't budge,
eventually a neighbor I saw by chance led to another neighbor,
and finally after we all made an offer,
the neighbor calmed down, and later moved out. Finally, after we all offered, the neighbors quieted down and later moved out.
It was really tough.

I used to live in a condo where three children of the family who moved in were always making so much noise and being a nuisance
that the neighbors complained and the police often came to the condo. The management had a rule that if you get 3 notices, you are forced to leave the house, so I left without living there for 6 months. I was able to kick him out because he was a renter, but I don't know if it would have been the same if he had been the owner.
