I need a reality check because I’m slowly losing my mind.
Background: I once lived in a socialist block 5 meters from the railway line. Trains passed by the window, but I didn’t care — I was sleeping like a baby.
Now: My girlfriend and I just bought and completely renovated an apartment. Block from 2004, insulation excellent, literally nothing can be heard. Except for two things from the apartment above us, where the upstairs neighbor, a pensioner (70+), lives:
– A washing machine that sounds like it’s about to take off — an old appliance, it rattles and shakes the whole ceiling.
– The main gem: someone takes a shower from 11:45 p.m. to 0:40 a.m. using the system: 1 minute water on, 30 seconds off, on, off, on… the pipes whine or They rustle through the entire vertical. The noise can be heard even on the ground floor. I assume there is something wrong with the shower faucet because it only comes on in the evening — but that doesn’t help because I can’t make contact with them.
Not to say that I am imagining it all: even the manager sent a plumber who said that this was not a normal plumbing sound. I am also attaching a recording.
I tried practically everything: two letters, mail, manager, ringing, knocking. Nothing. Not even an answer.
And now for the part where I need an honest opinion: I’m so psyched that I lie down with earplugs and actively listen to see if I can hear the water coming through the plugs. Meanwhile, the girl has gotten used to it and is sleeping peacefully. I’ve tried various exercises, but I just get more tantrums.
PS: my obsession is not helped by the fact that the neighbor on the left mentioned to me that the same pensioners sued him years ago because of the volume of the external air conditioning unit — he had to move it. And this despite the fact that his apartment is diagonally across from them, not directly next to it.
So — am I a psychic? Is this objectively disturbing, or have I created an obsession? I will be grateful for any advice, with nerves or with the neighbors/legal route.
The first letter with chocolates (from three months ago) is always on the right side of their front door, but they read it because once in between, about a month and a half ago, I re-positioned it in the middle of their front door.

jst bi prijavil policiji, da z nečim vsako noč ropotata in ti kratita spanec
Z leti se spremenimo glede zvokov, ki nas motijo. To sem opazil na sebi, še posebej pred spanjem, ko sem že malo na off. Problem ni psihični, ampak je dobesedno hard-wired, ker se mi celo telo odziva, dobesedno mi našopa adrenalin do konca za sekundo včasih ob kakem žvenketu, tudi če čisto nežnem, v sosednji sobi. Itak da ne morem zaspati, ko aktivno poslušam in čakam, ali se bo še kej dogajalo, da bi bil vsaj malo pripravljen, ko pride naslednji adrenalinski rush. I feel you man. V Nemčiji imajo menda v blokih prepovedano tuširanje in splakovanje vode iz kotlička po določeni uri, že vedo zakaj. Rešitev zate? Nisem dovolj pameten, hotel sem ti samo napisat, da nisi ti čuden. Če pa si, pa vsaj nisi edini.
Zato u lajfu ne kupim fleta, raj sm v najemu dokler nekje ne kupim neke mini hiške
greva na pir, sem mel podoben problem. vcasih se da s pogovorom velik resit.
Vsekakor je objektivno moteče, vem da je zelo nadležno samo napad jeze je pa kljub temu malo odveč.
Je pa res nenavaden način tuširanja tole… 1 minuto tuširanja 30 sekund nič. Glede na to da je upravnik poslal vodovodarja da razreši situacijo z civljenjem bo verjetno vsaj to kmalu rešeno.
Kaj ti je pa upravnik rekel glede pralnega stroja? Načeloma je hrup prepovedan ponoči, mislim da lahko celo policija ukrepa. Če se ne da na lep način zmenit pa sploh do pogovora pridt potem je pač to mogoče še edina možnost.
Ja, mal si psihic. Kup si dobre cepke, ko so prijetni za nosit pa si resil svoj spanec. Potem pa se odloci, kaj bi rad naredil.
Silikon čepki narejeni po meri uha. Probaj, nimaš kaj izgubit. Brezveze se kregat, ker ti bodo še kakšno večje sranje zanalašč delali.
Nisi psihič. Soseda sta skrajno nekorektna. Upam, da najdeš način
Tudi mene to moti. In spim s cepki. Dokler sosed zgoraj ni kupil novega pralnega stroja, se je treslo in odmevalo. Mogoce ponudis, da prispevas k pralnemu stroju? Ali pa stroskom elektrike in da perejo cez dan.
Zmenit se pri meni ni dalo nic. Stroj je kupil sam od sebe po 1 letu ropotanja.
Moj sosed trenutno že pol ure nekaj vrta. Začel ob 7ih zjutraj.
Nimam pojma kaj ima tolk za vrtat ker je v zadnijh 3 tednih okol 6ur vrtal.
30 kvadratov stanovanje ma.
Sam si si odgovoril: napsihiran čakaš, da slišis zvok čez čepke, medtem ko punca sladko spi.
Medsosedske drame znajo biti dolgotrajne in izčrpavajoče, tako denarno, časovno kot energetsko. Temu ni konca, sekiral se boš pa samo ti.
Probaj najti način, da se skuliraš. Mogoče je ta zvok samo trigger za kaj drugega, kar te moti v življenju. V razmislek.
