Noisy neighbour above me. Pls help

[missnjp1]

I live in a middle flat and there’s a couple with 3 children living above me, the flats don’t have very good sounds proofing anyways they have a 5year old who runs and stomps all day from 6am till 12 midnight most nights, I understand kids run ect.. but it’s really affecting my life now, I have 2 kids myself and I can’t put them to bed until the demon child stops jumping on our ceiling,, it’s so annoying having to live this way.. Iv made a complaint many times to there landlord and nothing ever seems to change I’m at the point where I’m feeling like I’m gonna bang up on there floor in hopes they will shut up. Any advice?

I'd move personally. We lived in a Victorian terrace once and the woman below us was loud. We could hear every word she said on the phone. Luckily we were renting so moved on

It's tough, we've apparently got professional elephant trainers in the flat above us but luckily they rest the animals for most of the day and they only really become active at night for a couple of hours

Thanks for the replies... there landlord defo passed the complaint onto them because I hear everything and they stomped so hard on my ceiling and were cursing me within my stair.. I suffer from anxiety ect so it's making me scared to even leave my own home. I can't move as I don't have the money for that. I honestly vent bare the noise.. it's horrible my kids are tired cos they can't go to bed at say 10pm school night they are 12 and 10 they have to wait up until sometimes 11:45pm for that stupid child to finally shut up.

Its classed as normal living noise and there's virtually nothing you can do about it.

And you are very unreasonable to call a child stupid, how awful.

Bit mean to call a child stupid, even if the way it is acting is stupid. It’s the parents really, can’t be arsed being proper parents so let them run wild, I’d feel sorry for the child tbh

@catchabreak2020 or the child's has additional needs. I have a child with a similar pattern and its miserable.

OP you need to move

You write you can’t afford to move. Does that mean deposit? If so, get yourself a large jar and start saving your change. As you build up some savings over time it should help you feel better at least that you’re making strides to save up to move

I understand the pain! My next door neighbours decide to shout at each other every two days (when not everyday) for like an hour at least. Most of the times between 10pm-1am. I usually wake up at 5am for work after having my sleep interrupted. Just as I’m typing I can hear them. Other neighbours complained and police even came once. Looks like landlords can do very little now...

Definitely move. I feel your pain OP. But nothing apart from total renovation will solve it whilst being around these people. Move to a top floor flat or split level so the lower rooms are guaranteed peace.

Yeah I'm planning on moving after Xmas and new year,, can't live like this much longer or else I'm going to end up having a break down.. might no bad but living with stomping running ect all day and until very late at Night takes it toll on me.. kids run and play obviously I understand that but have some consideration for people living below, like I have consideration for the people living below me. Life is crap for me at the mo. Didn't mean to call the child stupid I'm just that stressed out with it all. Haven't had a decent nights sleep in forever. Get woken up at 5am, I have to wake up for work at around 7am. Days are stressful.
