Hello,
I wish I could get some advice here. I am living upstairs in a condo. Recently, my downstairs neighbor's shower sound is super loud which always wake me up from sound sleep at late night. It's like they are showering in my bathroom. It didn't occur before and only recently since one day in January. My other neighbors don't have this issue either. I have talked with them but they insisted its normal if living in a condo with shared walls. The HOA said it's inside the building and we should solve it on our own.
I have recorded the sound with a decibel meter. Here is the link:
The city code regulates that the sound should not exceed 45 decibels during the quiet hours, but the shower sound is over 60, and sometimes 70 decibels. Sometimes it is as this loud the whole showering. Sometimes, it is loud only at the beginning and the end, the middle is relatively lower.
Anyone knows the cause or the solutions? Any suggestion is greatly appreciated!
