I had a devilish idea. . . .Maybe she could tape them when they are loud and play it back with the volume on high in the morning. Then when they come a knocking, she would let them know that it is actually them on the tape.

Some people aren't very self-aware, but you said you've discussed the neighbor's noise with the manager. Has the manager talked to the neighbors?

When I lived in apartments, I basically just sucked it up as far as noise was concerned.

The manager did go talk to them the one time I did complain because it was so loud DD could not fall asleep even with a radio going. Normally I just try to ignore it. But that night it was real bad. I do understand that there is noise in apartments so I just deal with it you hear people, walking, talking etc. But I just couldn't believe that this guy would come up and complain to me when he party's all night. So he did turn his music off last night at 10 but I could still him laughing and talking and swearing through the floor. I think that I am going to look into getting a carpet with a foam underlay for my bedroom.
I talked to the people across the hall and they say they never hear us. So I think this guy is just being a jerk.

Have you tried white noise or earplugs when you go to bed? As far as your daughter, I wouldn't worry about the noise she makes, unless it becomes completely overbearing.

I got one of those no bark things from walmart.. it is a as seen on tv thing its not a colar but a unit that you can turn on and there is a noise only they can hear it was only 10.00 and it worked.. mine like to sit on the porch in the summer and they bark at folks walking by just telling them hi im here... but it anoys the neighbors..

They also have them at dollar general. like the others said maybe hes lonley try the radio. but dont muzzle when you are not there...

Like the idea of carpetting - too bad your upstairs neighbor doesn't have any. Sometimes you just have to ignore people when they are being unreasonable. Keep us posted as to how it's going.
