These apartments were not constructed to block any noise. The walls are pretty thin, but the main problem for me comes from the apartment above. Every foot step my neighbor takes is obnoxiously magnified by the creaky floor boards throughout my apartment. Other noises (TV, telephone, music, etc.), are somewhat muffled, but unfortunately still a nuisance at any volume level and from any direction. I have not met all my immediate neighbors, but at times I feel there really is no reason for the walls. If the person above me and I are watching the same TV program, I can mute my TV and follow along pretty well. The walls and ceiling only give the illusion of privacy. We all might as well be living in one big room. Therefore, there is no sense of peace and quite (and decent sleep) unless my neighbors are out of town. Management and most of the neighbors, however, are pretty nice. Maintenance is generally ok in getting things fixed. If you are looking here, stay away from the first floor?you will save yourself some of the frustration. I thought I could get use to the noise, but it only gets more obnoxious. I am not sure if this is a problem in all the buildings, but it is a major problem in my building. I cannot wait for my lease to be up.
