Noisy neighbour up talking ALL night, keeping me awake.

Hope

My neighbour, the woman upstairs, kept talking to a man (her boyfriend?) all night. I could hear his voice more than hers, and it was loud. They were arguing from 6pm until 5am in the morning. Some of it sounded quite disturbing. I get stressed when I hear arguments because I feel the conflict. I feel angry. She might be nocturnal but I need my sleep, and due to my anxiety, I need it even more. Without sleep, my anxiety goes through the roof. First there were noisy students outside my flat (I live near a Uni), then, after they disappeared at 1am, all I could hear was the arguing. I have heard this man before, and initially thought the noise was coming from outside the flat, right outside my window. But it actually comes from upstairs. I am extra sensitive to background noise when I am trying to sleep (I can't block it out), and I just feel b***** angry and upset.

  • I have exactly the same problem, I live in a room in a shared house and 2 of the people upstairs who are friends bring many people into the house once or twice a week, I dont know who they are so don't feel safe already but they are constantly going from room to room in the early hours of the morning, shouting, slamming doors and stomping up and down the stairs and going in and out of the building, and theres the smell of drugs. It took me over 6 months of complaining and the landlord threatening to kick him out because of loud music all the time so we are not exactly on good terms. I feel the same as you, trapped. I sit through it all night when it happens writing what I want to say to him but the next day I don't bother because I know they look at me and think of me as a nutjob and will probably make more noise if I complained. They dont understand that it affects me for the whole day as end up losing sleep. I have hyperacusis as well so live in a world of noise and especially low frequency noises from things banging. Other people just see it from their point of view - such as - I rent this room so what I do in the room is nobodys business, you can't stop me having friends in all night and talking.
