Serious question, how do you stop upstairs footsteps from feeling like drums on your ceiling?
My upstairs neighbor walks heel first and it rattles my lamp on the shelf in Phoenix. I put a rug pad and a thick area rug in my living room last week and it cut the thumping by maybe half, way more than the foam squares I stuck up before. I also moved my couch about a foot away from the shared wall and that helped with the thud feeling too. Has anyone had luck asking a neighbor to wear slippers, and did they actually go for it?
