Since the pandemic has started, we notice some noises coming from the upstairs apartment, apparently. 

Last year, everyday early in the morning (around 7:30 AM) when I was having breakfast and my mother was still sleeping, we were used to hearing dragging furniture noise. It was loud that my mother woke up so angry. Actually, it wasn't just in the morning, but during the whole day. Around 1:30 PM it was possible to hear someone jumping or doing fitness exercises - we had never complained about it, we understood pandemic times, we also did exercises at home. 

 I tried to intervene and I called upstairs so many times asking them if they were moving their furniture and begging them to be quieter specially in the morning, because my mother doesn't wake up early. They denied many times. "We're not dragging furniture, I swear to you, now my kids are playing video games, they're quiet".They were polite, they always said that we could go there and check it out. They always said they were trying to understand what kind of noise was bothering us. They said they were talking about it with their kids, asking them to stop to walk around the house with flip flops (I don't think it was that the noise we heard), they said they were thinking about changing the floor. They said they were worried about it and they don't want to be unpleasant with neighbours. But they were still denying.

Once the father assumed their chair was noisy because I had insisted so much about breakfast time.  I suggested he put some felt under the chair and I don't know if he accepted my suggestion, because we were still hearing the same noise, but less frequently and less loudly. That's one reason that I think they were lying: after my calls, the situation has improved. Not totally, but it wasn't too much anymore.

This year, we had news!!! They started a new exercise routine at 6 AM!!Since last week I have heard someone jumping around 6 AM. Last week I was waking up at the same time, so I wasn't so angry about it. Today, I could have slept until 7 AM but someone started to jump at 5:45 AM!! It's definitely not an enjoyable way to wake up! 

I was so furious but I waited until almost 8 AM to call them.The mother told me nobody was doing fitness exercises early in the morning. She said she didn't hear anything. I called downstairs neighbours, they also didn't hear anything. Please, don't think I'm crazy! I recorded audios on my telephone and it's possible to hear it! 

The apartment upstairs the liars is empty. 

Do you think is it possible to be someone two apartments above? 

Maybe the architecture makes this possible?

Thank you for reading this, I'm going to sleep now and I wish I could sleep well without having someone jumping above my head!
