what is normal noise for evening hours?
Comments (19)I know this originated years ago and who knows what the original poster has experienced or learned in the past 12 years. Just to discuss: There always seems to be just two sides of the coin with topics involving neighbor noise - with one type believing that they have a right to do as they please and not follow rules (many signing an agreement to do so), besides not considering how their actions and behavior affects others. This type appears thoughtless, selfish, childish and defensive - characteristics which I imagine exist for them even when at work, in traffic or otherwise amongst others. There seems to be confusion of what regular living noise can be. I don't believe it is expected for others to be whispering or for there to be complete silence ever, but nighttime is typically a quiet time. People are going to use the toilet or wash hands during the night, though. Hearing plumbing, cleaning, the use of tools during daytime hours is normal, as is walking (by those whose footfalls strike the floor, normally). I wouldn't care if one has company at times, expecting that it will respectfully wind down at a proper point. It is when something is excessive or ongoing daily or after hours, that is problematic. Nuisance noise is listed as partying, fighting, unusual noise after hours. (I question how dropping items regularly, slamming and hyperactively running around at all hours can be considered normal noise?) The other type of person is aware and respectful of those they share housing space with. They want to enjoy their own music, TV, chatting, etc., but are respectful enough to not go beyond a limit and want to enjoy their own peace and quiet. They will not be clunking in the kitchen and running a disposal or blender at 2:30 am or have music or TV bass noise reverberate into another's unit at any time of day. (I feel that amplified sound should not even be allowed in apartments). Considerate tenants will not run or stomp around endlessly for hours upon another's ceiling. Respectful tenants expect others to behave accordingly, which I suppose property owners / management companies expect of tenants, yet appears that some do not enforce "rules", when others will. It has been my experience that MOST neighbors have been of the considerate type, having experienced the other type in more of a succession in later years, those having a sense of entitlement and arrogance in common. I don't want to hear another's rumbling TV or stereo bass washing out my own entertainment (at a normal volume, being a few feet away from), just because one being selfish and childish insists on having everything amplified. I don't want to hear another stomping around at all hours, just because they have a walking issue and don't care how it sounds on another's ceiling (something a normal walker doesn't cause). Also, if one has a schedule that has them awake when most others are asleep, it is not wise to live above others. It seems that this issue will continue unless it is properly addressed by all, having it established that there will be no tolerance of disruptive behavior in shared housing. If there were known consequences, it would be an improvement. If everyone were to have it instructed to them early in life what appropriate behavior is, this would not be such a problem, but not all parents do this. Everyone has their own lifestyle, but it is clear that some are just not appropriate for shared housing, not only by their attitude and behavior, but since not having an understanding of what it takes in order to live this way....See MoreNew Miele La Perla door creak/pop noise
Comments (27)The load I washed last night with the new Miele tabs came out great. I had pots, a lasagna pan, dishes, plastic Oxo mixing bowls, glasses, serving utensils, measuring cups, spoon rests and lots of utensils. Everything looks clean, shiny and it feels silky. To be 100% honest though, the load washed with the Miele tabs did not look, feel or smell any better than the load washed with the Cascade All in 1 packs! I like the Miele tabs, and since I have 72!!! of them, I will of course use every one of them. But, when it comes time to buy more dishwasher detergent...I will have to decide between Miele and Cascade! Again, THANKS to Mieleguy2832...I think the most noticeable change in the cleanliness of my dishes and machines is the addition of the 2nd Rinse and Water Plus. I think both these setting were part of my La Perla I, that I used from 2001-2011 (I had 2 La Perla I units in two houses). The La Perla II (2832) is now operating like the La Perla I...flawless and clean dishes!!! Btw, Miele is coming out on Friday 3/5/11 to check the door. The noise gets better, goes away...and then without warning, comes back with a vengeance! I just want to make sure nothing is internally getting damaged...and I hate the noise it makes..it makes the machine sound so ghetto and cheap :)!...See MoreRain showerhead noise normal?

Comments (7)Deke Wanna fight? Just joking! I think the 1986 is a pretty good machine also. It is the model released just before the 1215 and has the rinse/spin only option and the rotary program selector that lets you select temps by fabric type. You can also cause the machine to skip through each part of the cycle so If you wanted to end the wash for some reason you can make the machine end it and start the first rinse and move it through all the rest of the cycle. I don't know why you would do this, but you can get the machine to do so even though it is electronic. Seriously I think both machines are good and it seems like these ARE the last ones sold to the USA that will have 220V heaters that can heat the water very hot and do it fast....See More- 16 years ago
