Dear all,
Background:
Relatively new to Singapore but unfortunately I'm having a terrible experience living here. You can never/rarely relax in my
condo with excessively load noises 24/7, like rock concert levels. From alarm systems going off for days, to discos/karaoke, to non-residents entering the condo, etc, etc. I've met with my landlord to discuss the multiple issues but all she said is that she will pray for me. I'm stuck in this Condo until May 2016.
Issue 1:
The people that live in the same unit above me have a young child, about 4-5 years old. It is the only child I can hear, even though there are plenty of children living here. I firmly believe the child has ADHD or Autism. The child sings the same song for the last few weeks for hours every day (I try to work from home some days). This song only goes on for 5 seconds and keeps repeating. Even with my doors closed and TV on, this noise is louder than the TV! I'm sure you can understand that this gets on my nerves, like 11:00pm at night when you want to sleep or 7:00am on a weekend morning when you just want a little extra sleep.
I have tried to approach the parents but they don't respond, hide and don't answer the door. I asked a security guard about this and one of them was kind enough to talk with the maid. The maid knows something is seriously wrong with the child but doesn't know what is wrong and the parents have never indicated anything to the maid.
The child also does other things like hitting what sounds like a metal bucket, the parents yell at the child when they leave for work but clearly the child is lost in his own world, etc. Plus the parents keep the doors and windows open 24/7.
How can I approach this issue so I can live with some peace in quite in my unit please? Plus clearly this child needs some professional care for his condition....all the parents can do is yell "HEY!".
