[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In most apartment buildings the layouts are consistent vertically.  Is she in the master bedroom and hearing noise from the people above her in their master bedroom?  Does she have an apartment with more than one bedroom?  Since it seems like her problem is sleeping, has she considered changing bedrooms?

One final thought...if she is hearing "drawers opening," which is not a loud activity at all, then she seems[b] super sensitive to noise.[/b]  Does she use earplugs?  Other than that she will need to grin and bear it until her lease is up and then she needs to move to a place where she is on the top level so no one is above her.[/quote]

And that would have been me.

When I was a teenager, my mom bought some cheap plastic coffee cups. I insisted they made crackling noises when heating up coffee in the microwave. Nobody else could hear it. Then they started springing leaks you couldn't even see. The sound of someone playing a video game (this was in the 90s, Zelda and such) with the sound turned down a few rooms away could drive me nuts. I hardly ever play music or have the radio on when I'm home alone. [/quote]
