      We have a person at our complex who complains about everything, for example one of the things this person does is around taking pictures of insignificant marks on the walls and complains to fair trading that the Body Corporate does not do it job, one of the ongoing complaints was about fire hazards, a complaint must have been made to the local council as they slapped an upgrade order on the complex.

      The front doors were upgraded to the latest standard and are now extremely noisy as they have been fitted with very strong closers, the door are very heavy with no soundproofing on the door jamb, so they close with a loud bang, we can hear all the doors in our apartment from when people start work at 6am till the last person comes home after midnight, you may as well say 24 hours of the day we are disturbed.

      I was at my brother place who lives in a new complex and noticed they have door closers, half the strength of our but more importantly there is a rubber membrane fixed to the door jamb all the way around, this reduces the noise of the door closing to nothing.

      Now after that small preamble to my question, does anybody know if the standard for fire-doors opening on hallways in a residential complex prohibits sound proofing.

      It is so bad if this can not be rectified we will have to move, we have lived here for nearly 40 years and the wife is distraught, and as we have lived here for so long this is not an easy option.Cry

      NB: I changed the screen name of this poster because he used his real name (and again in the post)_ but then proceeded to insult one of his neighbours.  Really?  Anonymity is a protection for you and us.  Just make up a name – it’s not that hard. – JimmyT
