Landlords could reduce the tenant turnover rate if they took sound nuisance more seriously by sound insulating communal stairwells. The bare brick and concrete look amplifies any sound. There are such things as rubber flooring and acoustic wall tiles which would absorb sound in those areas.
PS I have a neighbour who talks to himself, loudly, and stomps up and down the stairwell in boots at all hours of the night. When his door slams, my bed shakes.

The chap who lived above me Margaret was as deaf as a post, so noise was never a problem, but when he died an I knew other people would be moving in, I decided to get some headphones, in fact I asked entwisi to recommend the best ones which he did, I now use them if I watch TV late at night or early morning
