Resident responds firmly to noise complaints from neighbors

A woman living in a co-op apartment faced ongoing noise complaints from her downstairs neighbors, who had previously lived in her unit. After trying to maintain a friendly relationship, she decided to respond firmly to their complaints about normal daytime activities. She drafted a message explaining that reasonable noise is part of shared living and suggested the couple consider soundproofing. The message received support on Reddit, with many users agreeing it was a good response. The woman sent the message but did not receive a reply. Experts noted that while her approach was assertive, it should remain calm to avoid escalating tensions. If complaints continue, involving building management may be necessary.
