Entitled resident hosts loud parties every weekend, leading neighbor to start spring cleaning their apartment at 6 AM every Sunday, resident takes the hint: ‘People are trying to sleep’

When it comes to comparing noises that wake you up in the morning, we like to picture a scale and rate each noise from 'least annoying' to 'most annoying'. Birds chirping, for example, is a noise that sometimes wakes you up, but on the scale, we would not consider their singing to be particularly unpleasant; some would even say it is quite a nice sound to wake up to.

Drilling, on the other hand, is up there with the 'most annoying' noises that can wake you up in the morning. Whether it is construction work on the street, or an entitled neighbor who thinks it's valid to start putting holes in their walls at 7 AM. Waking up to that sound is easily something that can drive someone to move as far away as possible.

The sound of someone else's spring cleaning–moving furniture around, vacuuming, and playing loud music is also definitely up there on the scale. As teens, we were often woken up to these sounds by our mothers obnoxiously cleaning the house, and now that we are adults, we must often face the same from our neighbors.

No matter how you rate each annoying noise on your scale, you must decide how to react. You can ignore it and hope that tomorrow will yield a quieter morning, or you can confront those who force you to wake up every day hours before your alarm.
Or you can fight noise with noise, like the neighbor in the story below decided to do…

Upstairs neighbors were too loud, so I returned the favor
