Also, there are SO many easy ways to mitigate noise that even a working class person can afford. Some tapestries, curtains, rugs, a fan or two. Even if the walls are thin there's reasonable work around a that should muffle most noise, if people are being loud enough that that's not even working then yeah sure you have grounds to complain.
It really depends on how shitty the building is. I've lived in places where you can hear the neighbors cough, and the quiet old grandma walking around upstairs sounds like a horror movie staircase. The worst was a shared living situation where all the room doors were clangy metal.
You can't try to mitigate that, but you'll only get so far if the building is shit.
Yeah no I hear that.
That's the whole thing, there's a lot of debate to be had about what is and isn't reasonable behavior when it comes to being noisy, and it depends a lot of situational factors. There are totally both people who are too damn loud and people who throw a fit over totally banal levels of noise.
