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?

Sounds like there are actually people living there. Naturally people don't just sit all day, they also move around their flat. People in the flat below yours hear you too when you walk. Better get used to it ....

I’ve lived in 3 other apartments without this particular issue, noise yes, but not like this. Also, it’s not just walking… they literally don’t stop moving for hours straight. It kinda sounds like they are walking laps around the entire perimeter of the apartment, we have the same floorplan and I can clearly hear them moving from room to room to room. I’m honestly curious what they could be doing.

Maybe they are exercising indoors? Or just have some sort of manic energy they are trying to dissipate.

I guess OP will never know. There’s no possible way to know what his neighbors are up to. Too bad it’s hidden knowledge that will never be revealed.

Treadmill?

Only if treadmills move around the apartment, though I’ve never seen that before
