    putting timber floor down instead of carpet is a very selfish thing to do , YOU HAVE NEIGHBOURS please remember that , if you want timber flooring , get a FREE STANDING HOUSE  , my upstairs neighbours have a timber floor , it wasnt so bad when the last tenants where there as they were never really home , but the new tenants have a pool table and every day ( almost 24/7 ) they are playing it , not only can we hear them smashing the balls , we also hear when the ball falls off the table ( very regular) , we told our real estate and they told us there is not much we can do about it – apart from asking them to put rugs under the pool table 

    well thats not good enough , we are taking them to the CTTT , we do not have any acoustic specialists but we do have pictures from when they advertised the unit for rent , along with stat dec's from neighbours and visitors stating the amount of noise created by these rude tenants

    Its going to be one expensive exercise for the landlord of that unit , our strata bylaws state no timber flooring is allowed ( i live in a 21 unit , 7 story block , my neighbours or on level 4 ) , the o/c are also unaware ( well not now ) 

     

    and to ” disappointed ” you need to get a house not a unit – its very selfish what you want to do – its irrelevant what your neighbours have as a floor covering – 2 wrongs do not make a right !! these by laws are there for a reason – timber flooring is obviously going to make noise no matter how you put it down ( either above you or below you , but most likely BOTH ) , think about your fellow human and do the right thing
