    A year ago I moved just because my upstairs neighbors got a baby. The walls were very thing and the baby screamed all night. After a few months I just couldn't take it anymore. Every day I arrived at work angry and tired. Anyway, my apartment is great, nothing to complain about.

      The worst I had was a tiny Korean girl living above me. It never made me mad or anything (I'm a very heavy sleeper) but I was just completely mystified by the sounds from above. It seriously sounded like she rearranged her apartment every day. The other common disturbing noise sounded roughly like someone playing DDR-- at least that was our best guess. She had to have been playing with weights on our something though because there is no way that little 90lb lady could dance and stomp paintings right off the walls like that by herself.

    I always have lived in apartments. One day, one my neighbors child decided it would be a great idea to put a Spongebob singing toy in an airvent or something. The toy had an alarm in it so that every day, at 7 AM, the Spongebob "Best Day Ever" song would play. On loop. For like, ten minutes. Every single day. I didn't have to get up until about 8 AM, so this was particularly annoying.

    I told my sup several times but apparently he couldn't find out which neighbor's apartment it was coming from. I asked all the neighbors on my floor and they had no idea what I was talking about. At the time, I lived in a giant multi-unit complex (300+ units, 30 floors etc.). And - oh, so conveniently - the sup's office didn't open until 7:30 AM so I couldn't get anyone to come to my apartment at 7 AM when the song would start. I recorded the sound of the song on my phone several times and showed my sup -- he told me it was "barely audible" over the video and that it really wasn't that bad (no shit it was barely audible, I was recording the sound on a dinosaur of a phone at the time).

    Luckily, the toy's battery slowly started dying. This led to an extremely creepy, slowed-down version of the song for a couple of weeks. Then one day it stopped. That really was the best day ever.

    If you haven't heard the Spongebob "Best Day Ever" song, google it so you can see how horribly annoying it is.
