I once had a neighbor call me because a tenants kids were making too much noise playing basketball on a Sunday afternoon.

Keep grinding, blessings!

They don't bother me, but many guests freak over them.Awkward living-room layout that makes it nearly impossible to watch TV.Passageway of about 10" into dining room.Cupboard that opens on, and is only accessible from, the living room rather than the kitchen.Basement apartment = noise upstairs.

My tenants are having noise problems with each other.

This behavior is in violation of the lease agreement which you signed on (date of lease) which states in section 12: “Disorderly Conduct—Tenant agrees not to permit or suffer any disorderly conduct, noise, vibration, odors, or other nuisance whatsoever about the property and further shall not annoy, disturb, or harass neighbors or other residents of the community and to use no machinery or other apparatus which would damage the property or disturb neighbors or other residents in the community.”

I agree Josh-I have probably watered down by the shear number of folks I am connected to on Twitter and it sometimes seems like a lot of noise.

This is mainly due to privacy and noise levels.

I'm sure if you fight this out for 3-6 more months you can grind off 10-15k, but it would seem to me that you would need this at like 120k or less?

Now that its complete, I see how badly the area under the kitchens tiled floor needs to be insulated from noise.

It makes a weird noise when it is walked on in high heels or hard soled shoes, but I am told the engineers have figured out how to lessen that problem and the newer products 'sound' much better.
