Re: How do I prove my neighbour is noisy?

Thanks everyone.

I’ll need to check on owner’s corporation – if they approved tiling throughout. I strongly suspect they didn’t. Can the Strata Manager confirm this for me?

Yes, agree on all laugh, clap and put a note under their doors – but this seems to have inflamed the situation. New owner’s chant the mantra “there is nothing wrong with what we are doing” to which I reply – when I can hear it – it is too loud. 

Can I record them – the noise coming into my unit? if so any ideas on good equipment? I’ve tried my mobile phone but it is not picking up enough of the noise for the SM to hear it.

My other neighbours suggested music playing during their noise sessions, this has resulted in noise complaints to the local council and police call outs against me. So retaliation is not my option. 

Community Justice Centre was used for mediation and we have an agreement they will use rugs in the lounge/dining and bedroom areas. But this doesn’t bring down the noise enough. It is also not enforceable such as a CTTT adjudication.  I’ve also read the horror stories in Flat-chat about rugs not working, etc. 

Thank you for the guidance on section 117 and 65A, I feel at a loss as to what to do next. I had thought like other mentioned – the owner and his partner would not want others knowing their business and goings on – but this seems to make them more vocal in their activities.
