How To Ignore Loud construction Work

Most people have had the misfortune of living next to a construction zone for a few weeks or even months. The early morning loud noise can be draining. If you are currently in that situation, here are a few tips for staying sane through the madness.

 

Find out your city’s regulations: most cities have various regulations about construction work. Typically work cannot be done before 7am and after 5pm. Find out the rules and see what can be done about the noise.

 

Talk with your manager: let your apartment manager handle all the dirty work. See what they can do about reducing the noise or cleaning up any dust or dirt that may be around your apartment.

 

Hang thick drapes: if the noise is coming from a certain area in your apartment, say the balcony, hang thick drapes to help absorb some of the sound.
