    Very good and thoughtful replies from Ex and Aust. I live in a cheaply built, late 60s block of 36 where all types of noise can be a problem at times; about half tenants and half owners; in a quiet neighbourhood.

    Notwithstanding yours is a new building etc., a lot depends on the people living in your block. We have found over many years the best thing is to educate new residents about what to expect in terms of noise. What’s normal and what’s not. What is fair and what’s not. How to be considerate of your neighbours. This can be done quite politely, tenderly and logically. 

    Good luck.
