But, because of the noise coming from upstairs, I cannot concentrate easily. According to Dong-A news, because of these kinds of noise problems, a 30-year-old man killed a woman upstairs who was making unpleasant noises.

Not only the annoying problem, but there are the cost problems, too. If there are lots of noise complaints in the apartments, many people would think that the soundproof facilities are poor. A realtor said that because of these sound problems, the price got 10 million won lower.
