The apartment above me, I dunno what they are doing, but it constantly sounds like someone is dropping a marble on the floor, it bounces like twice, then rolls.. pretty creepy actually. Downstairs has a yappy little dog that goes mental every time someone enters the building..

Where I live it is mostly older folks, there are very few young couples and certainly no houses full of teenage (most likely in their late twenties but, hey, chinese girls) girls screaming all the time.

The only thing that annoys me really is the crappy parking situation.

The place is 9 years old (old for China) and there is barely any room for the cars that everyone has now bought.

Fortunately our neighbours mostly keep to themselves and seldom bother us. It could be because I have been distinctly unfriendly towards them. I don't want to be friends, I live here because my wife chose it and I have no choice.

We can't really hear anything from the neighbors. There are only 4 apartments per floor and the master bedrooms are at each corner of the building. So I've never heard any nighttime doings while in China. During daytime, it's mostly when people go to the elevator lobby they can be heard, spitting, yelling, beating their children or whatever makes them happy during the 45 seconds it takes for the lift to show up. 

I do say hi to the newest of our neighbors, also when I meet them e.g. at the supermarket. They are very unusual, e.g. they will both cook most evenings, and it looks like they are having fun doing so. We can see their kitchen window from our kitchen window, so while I am happy cooking alone or with my wife, I can see them having fun too. It was actually my wife that commented on that first, it doesn't stand out that much to me as my parents are still doing that after who know how many years together. (I guess I should know)

Here in Stalag 17 the neighbours are quite. But previously, the neighbours upstairs had very noisy *** for a couple of hours every night. One one side i had an apartment renovation going on for about 4 months - they started at about 5.30 every morning and finished some time after mid-night. And below there was a family with a mentally disturbed teen-age daughter who would wake and cry at randomly several times a night.

nothing special. We say nihao to each other, but in my heart I hate them for blocking all the way from elevator to door with their 4 ebikes !

Don't really have a relationship with them. They practice the piano all day everyday we say nothing, we have a house party on a Saturday and they've called the police on us within 2 hours, that was 11pm. Our BaoAn is great though. Very friendly, wishes us a good day. Lets us hang out next to his electric heater when we've forgotten our keys and are waiting for another flatmate to come back.

Non-existent.

Nobody speaks English, and I rarely meet somebody. Neighbour above me had something slamming whole night, and I just told Chinese teacher next day, and they sort it out among themselves. No banging, or any other noise after 10pm.

I have apartment on the bottom floor with small garden. All Chinese owners (but mine!) constructed roofs over their gardens, so anything comes out of the windows above, stops on the roof. After, I found first empty bottle on the garden floor, I told FAO neighbours must stop trowing garbage over their windows or, I will empty my garbage bag every time at the different neighbour's entrance doors.

I have 1 empty bottle, plastic bag, empty pack of cigarettes so far (since May) in my 'Garden collection'. Pretty dissent, I think! No marbles in my place.
