Guys the reality is i’m telling the truth, I wish was lying. The doors in my building are very strong. There around the 150KG-200KG fire safety doors as the front door. Many front doors are heavy. There’s no pads on my front door, or very few in the building. The apartment building is 20 floors, and crammed in. In other words not very high walls, modern apartment buildings of 20 floors would be at least a 3rd higher.
This building I live in was built in the 1960’s, when planning standards on acoustics were much lower than planning standards of today.
My level has 5 units as do most in my 80 unit strata scheme. All heavy doors that meet fire satiety standards. Pity the (OC) couldn’t spend money on some pads or, maybe advising the door fitter to make the swings on the doors slower.
The door slams “in out” “in out” all the time awful. And I live right below one of the back entrance doors, no pads the noise is massive, especially as no pads and loose swing, and very windy as my building is surrounded by lots of trees.
Windows have fallen out from the higher floors e.g. level’s 15-20.
Many workers who work in jobs with high vibrations and noise suffer ear problems, and muscular skeletal problems e.g. arthritis,whip-lash etc, and also concussion symptoms. The door slams are like e.g. dogem cars slamming, a loud bang, 2-symbols colliding, like a crack a smashing of the Greek plates etc.
My floor above me has wooden floors, so the vibrations are worse.
An acoustic consultant would make a fortune out of my building. But I am going to complain to the (OC) and put it at a motion of agenda meeting. Many fair trading complaints are about noise. I’m not sure if an acoustic engineer tested my building, I doubt it would acceptable noise standards under the NSW strata management Act section of the rights for all occupiers to have peaceful enjoyment.
