Sign in to disble this ad
I live in an 8-unit apartment building and for the last 2 weeks my wife and I have been putting up with this squeeking problem coming from the upstairs apartment. Every morning at 5am we wake up to this loud squeeking. It lasts for about half an hour and then hear someone walk to the bathroom, flush the toilet, then silence. I usually get up at 6:30am for work and losing that 1 1/2 hour of sleep really drains me out during the day. So how can I go about solving this problem in a nice manner? I respect the neighbors right to "love" one another so I don't want to be too mean about it. What suggestions do you have?

I've also thought about letting the landlord know so he could do the honor of notifying them of the squeaking problem but that seems like I'm escalating the problem. I don't care what they do uptairs. I just want to be able to get a good night sleep.

Then, for one week, wake up at 3.30am and with the help of your wife, imitate the noise they're making for half an hour. Then go to sleep again. After flushing the toilet I mean. In this way you likely lose only ½ hour sleep instead of 1½.

Pardon my grumpiness but I"m suffering today at work due to an upstairs neighbor who insisted on moving furniture all night. There is no way I would consider sleeping with ear plugs in. If it starts up again tonight I will be knocking at his door. Apartment life sucks. We all know it. So be couteous to those around you. Otherwise, your neighbors resent you. And there is never a reason to sleep with earplugs in, in your own home just because a neighbor is inconsiderate.

if that doesn't work, get the WD40, tape a note to the door and politely say please use this on the matress springs so I can sleep.

BTW congrats | Hahaha that's what my boss said. There's no better way to turn someone's mojo off than a screaming baby. I don't know if I should be happy or sad as it will affect my love life too.
