What could my upstairs neighbor possibly be doing to make this much noise? (lemmy.world)

Their foot steps sound like they just have 2 pegs for feet… they hit so hard.

And they frequently, almost daily, spend the entire evening stomping around the entire footprint of their apartment.

Are there people who really just get the top floor, and think “I’m so smart, and everyone else can get fucked” then proceed to make all the fucking noise in the world?

I don't really want to force a specific bottom limit on sound insulation, which is what that would do, though.

Some people won't care as much as others relative to price and may not want to pay what it'd cost. And some people may want a much-quieter unit than any bottom limit would place.

The problem is that they can't make an informed decision now because the information isn't available.

Might be worth just mandating it since you can also fix thermal efficiency issues at the same time. And that affects everyone since poor thermal efficiency = more pressure on the electricity grid and increased risks of extreme cold and heat to individuals.

But transparency would certainly be better than nothing.

So just stick all the poor people with the paper thin walls?

The problem is the information isn’t available. There’s no place to leave reviews of apartments. That seems like a no-brainer to me.
