I had that problem until I started sending certified...let em say it agai certified letters to the building manager complain and then document evrey message letter etc. they will do something. But first go up and let them know they are bothering you it's only right, then if they give you shit see above.

There's a sick old guy in Kensington, Melbourne who likes to play Golden Oldies incredably loud throughout the night, doesnt respond to notes, always asks you for cigarettes when he sees you and calls ambulances on a regular basis (the last call was because he'd "swallowed some toothpaste" apparently.

I live next door to Neighbours hue have a dog, when they get home about 5-6 o'clock they like to throe a ball against there wall for about a hour playing with there fucking dog. All I here is bagging against my wall great for hour or more.
I mean for fuck sake just take the dog out for a walk with the ball.

i bought an ex-council flat, knowing the flat below was still a council flat , but it was empty for 6 BLISSFUL months while the council made repairs.
now, a family with two kids under five and a hyperactive dog live below me, crammed into a compact 2-bed flat which is just big enough for me on my own.
from 8 till 11am on sunday, a VERY LOUD driving game was being played in the room beneath me.
when they go out, the dog howls pitifully until they return.
i can hear them when they are filling their kettle in the kitchen.
i can hear the man snoring in the bedroom below me, through the nite.
i can follow their conversations in rooms beneath my laminate floors.
when they BANG their back door shut - which they always do - my plants shake.
do i win? ;)

I have a bleedin' DJ who lives beneath me. One week night at 3.30 am it was getting too much and I was thinking off moving out. So I lost me rag and went down stairs to confront him and to turn it down and err... he did. Turned out he was a really nice chap and I ain't heard a peep out of him since! I suffered for about a bleedin' year without saying anything and now 6 months later its still fine. Have a word. Worked for me.

You've really got to watch out for the people under the stairs.
Seriously though, I used to get into fist shaking, wall banging grudge matches with the kids in the apartment adjacent to mine. They would constantly be playing Creed or some other derivative crap rock late into the night with the volume stuck at 11.
One night I got pissed and found the trendy house/techno music channel on comcast and turned not only my tv, but also my stereo up as loud as it would go. It was knocking shit off of the walls and shaking everything in the apartment. It's a good thing I didn't have my fishes back then, as the vibration of the bass would have killed them I think. Probably pissed off the other neighbors too, but it worked for the time being. It was like a constant vendetta. I had won the battle, but the war was far from over.
Finally my girlfriend couldn't sleep one night due to the 3am Creed rock nightmare, so I pounded hard on the wall. They just pounded back as usual. I didn't intend on my pounding to be a social greeting. Enough with the wall-banging conversation.
I backed up across the room and proceeded to sprint towards our shared wall with every intention of crashing through it and falling into the enemy living room. Unfortunately, it was kind of anti-climactic. I stayed on my side of the wall, but the collision made one hell of a racket.
I haven't heard from them since, and all I had to sacrifice was my left shoulder. Nooch.
