In a recent National Post article, the journalist Lia Grainger described noise from neighbours and other noise issues that drive tenants and condo owners to the brink.

People looking to buy a condominium apartment expect that the apartment will be quiet and pleasant to enjoy. They have this expectation about noise especially if the condominium is expensive. Often, they are disappointed.
New condominiums are sprouting all over Toronto like giant mushrooms. With “intensification” of residences, more and more people live in close proximity to each other, in many cases literally on top of each other. This creates many noise issues and conflicts among neighbors.
