Whale,
I completely agree. We did have the rollers replaced in the doors about 12 months ago. It did improve but not fix the rumbling noise for a wee while and then it got very bad again quite quickly. The “trades people” who did the job had to come back and redo one balcony door in the offending unit a week after the first fix up and then said that the doors were transmitting the noise through the wall void cavity and they could bairly hear the sliding door when using it in the upstairs unit but it sounded much worse underneath. I think they may be full of s… as the balcony slab likely forms part of the main floor slab and won’t have a air gap under the sliding door. As the building is 40 years old perhaps it is time to consider replacing the doors themselves. Mine run poorly and loudly as well, but I have the courtesy to recognize this and open them very gently and only during daylight hours. Time for the sinking fund I think. Then we will address any residual behavioral issues if necessary.
