Tho I have not had any problems with anyone around me, I find I can here not only my upstairs naighbor, but also both naighbors on each side, with every little thing they do. To the phone Vibrating to even hearing them taking a piss. I see the cops here at least twice a week, and that worries me. Every time something goes wrong it takes maintance at least three days to come and fix it. They don't seem to speak english either. I know in apartments you are going to hear your naighbors, but to this extent is rediculous. You shouldnt hear when they go to the bathroom, or even a phone on vibrate.
