  • Respect-O-Meter: Valued Neighbor

Ever since the June Summer of 2016,  my neighbor's kids constantly making excessive and disturbing noise- banging on wall, stomping and jumping on floor after 11 and 12pm. Way before that, I was sitting in another room, “Pah, Bump”   I was thinking the neighbor breaking the wall between us or one’s ceiling, I was jumping right up from her chair in the other room. The noise problem is really severe- that can make a person heart racing when you are trying to sleep or waking up from sleeping.  It keeps you from sleeping or working and making you completely wear out due to lack of sleep. After the summer, it keeps happening anytime whenever you want to sleep, or even watching TV. It seriously affected my physical well being and the enjoyment of my own home.

 

At the end of September, one night, I returned home from work and fell dizzy and called 911 and then vomiting, and I had taken many sick absents from work due to all those restless nights. At night, when I almost falls into sleep, “bang” “bump” the forceful banging and jumping next to a few feet away bed completely waking me up with a heart racing, just as if someone scared you all the sudden and you couldn’t calm back down and have to catching up with breathing. It is from time to time, anytime and every night, I have exhausted and worn out with no energy to do anything else.

 

One Saturday morning in September, I woke up without budgeting and called a construction worker to put up a sound proofing wall, to just want a normal night of sleep. I had been driven to the edge. I had called police and spoke to the parents, but the parents did not admit it and allows them to do so it does not stop. 

 

My neighbor causing me: anxiety, PDST, heart problem, digestion problem and monetary lost. It costs her $1600 to put up the sound proofing wall after the bargain with the construction guy, and I have taken days of sick absents from work, and yet still have agonized and suffered of losing enjoyment of my own home. The sound proof wall doesn't really work - those thunder like stomping and jumping comes thru so devastating.

 

I had nicely asked the neighbor to stop but they didn’t; police had spoken to them but they are still doing it. I don’t want to talk to them anymore since the kids were harassing me when she was in the front yard; I had called police in order to stop the constant harassment from this neighbor’s kids.

 

It is not the light matter of noise about screaming and laughing and talking. It is the noise of torturing which have severely damage my quality of life.

 

I lost my energy and time of doing what I suppose doing, all my concern now is that the minute I lay down on my bed is to have a good night sleep tonight. Normally, when someone sleeps, one is supposed totally in a state of relaxing but I, instead, with that banging and jumping on the other side of the wall and floor, make me all tense up. I wake up with a tense restless body and a nightmare of disturbance of a supposed peace night of rest.

 

there are many more but I was so tired waking up and put the reference number on a piece paper. Now, some of those 311 police didn’t come at all and even they come they said it had stopped and nothing they can do about it, and they told me i choose to live here and it is my problem? They didn’t even bother to look at their place and left.
