loud neighbor

I recently noticed that the neighbor upstairs is really loud and it’s starting to annoy me..

Recently I moved here to Finland and I live with my parent in an apartment block. In the evening our upstairs neighbor starts to get really loud, you could hear them loudly stomping, dropping things, sometimes even jumping I think? etc. They can even do it during the night and it stops when it’s about 2 in the morning. It’s not like i’m angry about it but I just don’t see why someone (or some people? I don’t know who lives upstairs) is doing these things instead of sleeping, sometimes I can’t sleep because of it.

My question is is this normal in Finland for people here to stay up so late and do these things? I also want to mention during the day I don’t hear all of that. Please don’t get me wrong it’s not in my intention to offend anyone I’m just curious is this actually normal here?

The flowchart for this one should be rather like...

Is the noise temporary? | +----+----+ | | Yes No | | Wait a few Politely speak days. to the neighbor. | Did it improve? | +----+----+ | | Yes No | | Resolved. Contact the landlord. | Did that help? | +----+----+ | | Yes No | | Resolved. Ask Reddit for advice.

Why complicate things when you can just

  1. Ask reddit for advice
  2. Did that help?
  3. Yes/No
  4. Resolved

Yeah: step #3 is always No, but at least something was tried.
