Nothing is more frustrating to new homeowners than to discover that the multi-family home (condo, townhouse or apartment) that they just purchased has loud neighbors upstairs or neighbors below them who complain about the amount of noise coming from above. Nothing is worse than trying to go to sleep or relax and hearing people moving around above you or having to listen to your upstairs neighbor’s television or radio.
