Dear Sir,
NOISE FROM A NEIGHBOUR
1. Blank out
2. After I wrote in a blog, an officer and the Officer-in-Charge(OIC) visited me on 1 Oct 09 to informed no machine-tools were found inside the upper floor unit during their inspection on the same day. I said they would have removed it before the inspection. The officer may have been recently posted to the Branch Office, and I had invited him and the OIC in for a chat.
3. There is a reduction of noise both in amount and level since Sep 09, but now and then there are increased noises. From Dec 09 onwards I noticed such noises (and there were many) would be reduced the next day due to the people at the flat across them. Ramble, knock, drag, heavy sound, sharp sound and noisy drainpipe could be heard. The continual knock, ramble and tamp are from machine-tools. Although the disturbance had been reduced considerably, I do not think it is acceptable to a person over a long term considering the nature of the works, change of person during the day and noise beyond normal hours.
4. Somehow it is also a game where they get away with little risk, and I bear with noise, anguish, and interruption to my work. I wrote about the noise starting in Jun 07 after a lull of four years, and it has continues despite help by the authorities.
5. What are the causes underlying the problem? I had provided part of the details at http://anaudienceof.blogspot.com
6. I have hope because there is sufficient evidence works are carried out for profit.
Regards,
