Loud A/C units on apartment roof
 

So I moved into a new apartment a few weeks ago. The unit I am in has A/C compressors directly above it and they are LOUD and VIBRATE a lot. I told management and they said they installed new pads, but they don't seem to help. They are driving me CRAZY and I don't really know what to do. If I could move to a new unit I would but all my furniture is here and I can't move it by myself. I'm not very good dealing with people regarding these things but I want them to fix it somehow! I'm not really sure what to do next :confused:

It is a design flaw. They will not fix it until they find out that they cannot rent those units.

Move to a new apartment, ask management to help you move.

Good Luck

What do I do if they won't help?

Get one of those white noise machines?

Talk to a lawyer? I think noise like that makes an apt. uninhabitable, and you may be able to seek recourse. Check with a lawyer though.

I think she/he has multiple ones on the roof lol.

If you're committed to staying in the apartment, look into a set of noise-cancelling headphones. The higher end units work very well for your type of sound and can be used just to filter out noise (without music) just by turning them on. Might be tricky to sleep in though...
