We (my wife and I) live on the third floor of the Marque at Heritage Hunt apartments in Gainesville VA. We love our apartment; but, noise from the apartment above and the apartment across the hall is driving us crazy.
The floors at the Marque are wood, not concrete. Sound travels incredibly well through the floor. The person in the apartment above us is Bigfoot.
She stomps around at all hours of the night. The stomping is often accompanied by hammering, furniture being dragged across hard floors in the entry, kitchen and bathrooms, objects being dropped on the hard floors, running the clothes washer and, in the summer, the sliding glass door to the balcony opening and closing every few minutes. She cranks up around 10 PM every night and sometimes goes all through the night. Needless to say, we can't sleep with all that going on.
The people directly across the hall from us (their front door faces our front door) have a dog.
When they leave their apartment without the dog, the dog stands at their door and barks nonstop until they return--sometimes for hours at a time. (In fairness, the dog in the photo is not the dog across the hall; but, the entry to our apartment and the apartment across the hall are very similar to what's shown. Also, the dog in the photo is positioned exactly how I imagine that the dog across the hall is positioned when it barks--directly at our door, less than 10 ft. away.)
There's a gap between the bottom of our door and the floor. It's not very big; but, the loud barking from across the hall travels well through that little opening.
If you have suggestions on how to soundproof either ourselves or our apartment from the noise coming from the apartment above or the apartment across the hall, then we will greatly appreciate them. You can either reply to this blog or use the email address that's provided with the blog.
Thank you.
