I live in an older high-rise condo. There are constant repairs and renovations going on here Monday-Friday from 8am-4pm. The sawing, drilling, hammering, etc....is the aural equivalent of chinese water torture. I wear eagplugs constantly when i'm here during those hours. They help....but only marginally.
Neighbour noises are some of the worst... They sound like they are happening in your own house while you cannot stop them.
I had very nice but very noisy neighbours. Besides slamming the doors or playing their music loud with all their windows and doors open, the worst was their bathroom fan. It had such high pitched but barely hearable sound... Sometimes they kept it on all day and I was the only one in the house who could hear it. It drove me nuts to the point of feeling sick in my stomach! And there was nowhere to hide... aarghhh
(I am glad I moved.... not because of the fan but still...) I am glad I moved
