Reducing noise from neighbours If your neighbours are noisy, consider the following steps (excerpt from the CMHC): Get to know your neighbours. Contact may lead to cooperation on noise issues. Speak reasonably and calmly with neighbours about noise. There is a good chance that reason will lead to a workable solution. Speak with other neighbours and consider a joint strategy. Ask others who are also bothered to discuss noise with the offending neighbour.
Although they may be accustomed to the noise their children make, neighbours should be aware that some occupants don't have children and may be irritated by the noise. However, all neighbours must understand that children have a right to live there and to behave like children. If hosting a party, neighbours should advise other occupants about when the party will take place, and consider inviting them if it will be an open party. Observe reasonable hours for noisy activities. Vacuuming, moving heavy furniture, repairs and alterations generate noise that can travel to other apartments. Restrict these activities to daylight hours or in accordance with the lease or condominium agreement. Always keep your personal safety in mind when dealing with noisy neighbours. If your neighbour is intoxicated or has been drinking alcohol, it is not a good time to try to resolve a problem. Situations like these can quickly escalate and get out of control. Here are some CHMC strategies for reducing noise—in your home and your neighbour’s:
