| Comment | As others have said, you might be making more noise than you realise; maybe even just walking around. It might not even be you!
If they'd been reasonable you could have asked if they had kept a diary to help you figure out *what* was causing the noise. As they're hostile, it's a guessing game.
If you have hard flooring, did you fit soundproofing underlay? Can the factors confirm what soundproofing exists between floors?
Do you wear hard-heeled shoes in the flat? Are items like your washing machine etc properly balanced?
You *could* ask your boyfriend (or someone) to run on the trainer with you listening in the downstairs flat, but that requires your neighbour to be reasonable.
Rugs etc under the exercise machine may be they way forward. If they are abusive again you can always report them, but tgey can also report you as a noise nuisance. They'd need evidence to back that up and it doesn't seem like they're the sharpest knife in the drawer. Or simply at their wits end. |
