The neighbours below complained a lot that I was noisy. I was like, "really?". I sit at my PC 90% of the time, I use a chair on wheels, my PC speakers are at 10% volume tops.
One time they complained, I went down to their apartment to listen and was like "WTF, you find that LOUD?". Their reply was "yeah but it's the random noise of your games that are disruptive" <.< As if a TV is not random in noise.
Then a month or two later, she got a different boyfriend and since then, they've often got into very loud fights - and I mean LOUD. Until 2-3am, with throwing stuff, breaking stuff, shouting, slamming doors. Instead of breaking up with the jerk, she has been with him for over a year now. During that time, we wrecked the front door downstairs twice and caused all sorts of other damage.
Bottomline: people are selfish as FUCK and often need a good slap in the face. With a metal bat. With spikes through. There's a reason why people in less densely populated areas are happier - because people are retarded beyond belief and the more contact you have with them, the less happy you are. Customer support anyone?  It only takes driving around for 10 minutes to encounter at least 20 selfish assholes.

You know what will solve all your problems... Get noise dampening + some new laminaat. It costs a bit but it's so worth it and it's quite easy. Check Quickstep or if you want it cheaper Gamma xD

My advice was for the ginger_avatar tho 
Doesn't cost a bucket load tho, it's not cheap either but the moment I deal with noisy neighbours from below I'll floor the apartment renting it or not.
I'm dealing with a noisy one next to me but sadly constructing another wall with soundproofing leaves damage after I move and this is a rented apartment  Otherwise I'd do it. Peace and quietness is very important to me.

My neighbours with 2 small kids can be quite noisy during the day and the early evening, which was getting really annoying at times. Got myself a set of top-notch wireless headphones, best investment ever!

Headphones... problem solved instantly. you wont even hear the fuckers wanting to knock at your door. I don't get why it would drag on so much when you can just slip a pair on

It's even more effective if you wrap the baby in it. |

Don't blame the kids, blame the parents and other people looking after them. When I was visiting my grandmother she always told me how to behave. The usual stuff, but some kids never learn those things and they won't by themselves.
Another thing: kids should be able to play, you can't force them to sit around and be quiet. Also I don't like the idea to put them in front of the TV and stare into that thing for hours. Let them play and make noise during the day, of course in moderation. If there's noise during the night and early morning hours, maybe you can talk to them or let your mother help you.

Buy ear plugs and get used to them (it's really cheap). It really works. Or noise cancelling headphones (not so cheap) like others said.

Kids should also be raised properly, and not run around like uncontrollable maniacs for the entire day. I don't blame the kids. I get angry at them, but at the end of the day, it's the parents i blame. Not a single damn carpet upstairs either.
I have ordered some proper earplugs Invasion, the ones i had is crap. I refuse to wear earplugs during the day though. If that is a necessity to cope then it's indeed a hazardous environment. So i'm trying to cope the best i can with this shit. Been here every day during the week now and during last weekend too. Wearing me the fuck down.
Edit: And now, for the first time i've listened to a howling baby for 3 hours. First time i've heard any baby, so a baby has been added to the mix. Well, fuck this shit i'm canceling our contract and letting nature take it's course. This is too much.

Sounds like moving out is the only option at this point. Straitjacketing kids apparently is illegal, tolerating the noise can only work for a couple of days, complaining a lot probably doesn't fix it either, same for revengeful acts, also the neighbors won't simply add some noise reducing foam/panels to their pavement because "it's not their problem" and wearing earplugs 24/7 isn't something that I would do..

Yep, i only wish they were more responsible and informant when they offered to rent me the apartment. But yeah, when my living room is under their living room, and my bedroom is under their kitchen it's kind of impossible to escape any noise whatsoever, and i know i can't start trying to force them to do not keep walking between those 2 rooms. It's quite sad, cause other than the noise i find it quite nice living here. Decent area and the apartment itself is good enough. But I also only see moving out as an option.

Well rather than creating my own thread:
Fucking retarded neighbour. Playing his system like he's playing in a club. It's a fricking appartment building.
What's worse is that this crap is going on for a while now. Even worse... he works for Securitas and doesn't even know Swedish law on this (while most of his job is acting on disturbance calls...). So me as a foreigner had to explain what the law says about disturbances and what the company (the ones renting out) rules are on this. Since he was throwing all kind of assumptions around.
the majority of young people these days... urgh.

Not being able to relax is going to be a big problem for the next years. More and more people need to rent apartments and then we have: Kids and entertainment systems + derp youth with lame house parties.
I'm so gonna live in the middle of nowhere in a few years.

I'm actively looking for a different place, but it's not easy in a small shit hole like this, so i'll have to endure, sadly.
) but if they are 5+ they are able to listen to what their parents and grandparents say, if they care is a whole different thing. Kids are pretty different, even at that age... My 6 year old cousin was told by my uncle ONCE not to jump on the wodden floors because of the people living downstairs. After that she even told other kids and adults not to make any noise and took it all very seriously. Probably a rare case tho, some kids(most?) are assholes!
