Sleepless Nights: Family Struggles with Noisy Neighbour Playing Music at 3 AM

“A frustrated resident of a low-rise condominium has turned to social media for advice after months of sleepless nights caused by a neighbour blasting music at 3 AM. The noise is so disruptive that it wakes their toddlers, forcing the family to move them to the living room sofa in an attempt to help them settle back to sleep.

Despite making multiple calls to the non-emergency police hotline, the situation remains unresolved. The resident explained that the neighbour’s window faces their bedroom, and although they live a few floors apart, the short distance between units amplifies the noise.

Seeking possible legal action, the resident posted on Reddit, only to find that others facing similar issues had little success with official channels. While some suggested involving the Management Corporation Strata Title (MCST), others shared that condo management bodies often struggle to enforce noise complaints.

Suggestions ranged from soundproofing windows to investing in noise-reducing curtains. Some users even joked about retaliating by making noise in the early morning hours. Others expressed frustration at the lack of strict noise regulations, comparing Singapore to Germany, where “”quiet hours”” laws strictly regulate disturbances.

With limited options available, the resident remains unsure of what steps to take next, highlighting the ongoing challenge of addressing noise complaints in high-density living environments.”
