Quick synopsis. Live in a council flat. Have health issues so am home most of the day. Have been here for a few years, have one teenager.
Over the last week I noticed radio/TV and boom-boom sounds coming from downstairs neighbour (a couple in all day).
I asked her about it today and she said it was from a new Dolby Surround TV thing they'd bought. She said she would try and move the speakers, turn down the bass, etc.
However, I can still hear it all day and evening - the muffled voices from the TV and radio. Even with classical music on all the time I hear this as well as boom-boom sounds (like a computer game being played).
I should say I have very sensitive hearing because of my health condition. I know this noise is really going to drive me nuts, to the point where I'll have to move. Where to I have no idea, no money, and so forth, but its the one thing thats important for my mental and physical health.
I don't mind occasional noise of everyday life, or parties, but since they have the TV on all day every day this is gonna really effect me.
I am waiting for the Housing Officer to get back to me, but I don't think she'll be able to do much, if anything. Its not like the neighbours have got loud music blaring on all night.
I feel upset and confused about it, and really don't know whats gonna happen.
Any thoughts? Advice?
