What could my upstairs neighbor possibly be doing to make this much noise? (lemmy.world)

Their foot steps sound like they just have 2 pegs for feet… they hit so hard.

And they frequently, almost daily, spend the entire evening stomping around the entire footprint of their apartment.

Are there people who really just get the top floor, and think “I’m so smart, and everyone else can get fucked” then proceed to make all the fucking noise in the world?

Perhaps LEED should be replaced by a bunch of smaller certifications, each covering only a tiny subset.

It is nice to have one logo you can stick on a building, instead of lots of them. But after a little pushing it could be normalized to have a spot for multiple plaques near the entrance of a building, showing which certs it has earned.

Then you have a lower bar for entry and owners can choose a la carte what they want to strive for, and disregard the rest.

Like, a sound isolation rating on an apartment building would be a huge selling point. Have a certifying company that brings in big speakers and microphones and tests room-to-room sound conduction. Then you get a certification for the soundproofing.

I guess the nice thing about private cert authorities is anybody can just do this. It would take a while to get recognized but you could solve the two-sided marketplace problem pretty easily.

LEED kinda works like that with the different levels. LEED Gold checks off requirements a, b, and c; LEED Platinum also includes d and e, etc. I'm not LEED accredited, though, so I can't speak to the finer differences.

There is a new standard making headway called WELL Certification . I'm not sure the difference between this and LEED but I'd be interested to learn more one day.
