I lived in a bottom floor apartment for a few years. Had a few people move in and out above me in that time frame.
The most memorable was the last couple before I moved out. They both were very overweight and had a very, very, very squeaky bed. When they were feeling frisky, you could go outside and hear it squeaking over 20 feet away with all the doors and windows closed.
Still could hear it inside my apartment with ear plugs and over the ear muffs I use for shooting.
I brought it up to management. They did nothing and I'm guessing because it was an embarrassing situation. So I decided to take matters into my own hands..
I visited local bed shops, explained my situation and asked if they had any coupons they could give me. Everyone laughed their ass off when I explained what was going on.
After I had a selection of coupons from a number of bed stores, I visited a local craft store and bought a gift basket and some fancy tissue paper. I also picked up a can of WD-40 and Silicone spray lube from an auto parts store.
Spent a little time making up the basket and waited for them to get home. Shortly after hearing them upstairs, I went up and knocked on the door. She answered and I handed the basket over, smiled and walked away without saying anything.
For the next two months I was there, it was very quiet. I'm guessing they got the hint..
