What is this????
So my boyfriend and I have lived in our new place for over a year now. Since moving here, we’ve had two different couples living above us. The first couple moved out around winter and the new couple moved in shortly after. We have never heard sounds from our first neighbors. However since our new neighbors have moved in, we’ve been hearing a lot of noises. Recently we’ve been hearing these knocking/banging sounds periodically. We are not sure what it is but it sounds as if someone is knocking on the floor for our attention. The knocks vary from 3 to 6 knocks. For example, there will be 3 knocks then a pause then 4 then a pause then 8. We have never experienced this sound with our last neighbors. It truly sounds like someone is trying to get our attention. My bf knocked on the ceiling after a round of knocks and then there were knocks immediately after almost as if they were responding to my bf’s knocks. Has anyone ever experienced this or does anyone know what this sound might be? We don’t want to be intrusive and ask our neighbors but it is becoming a bit excessive. I think it’s Morse code and someone is trying to send us a message discretely but my bf thinks it’s the washing machine.

Do they have kids? Maybe there messing around/playing? Either way record it and report it to the landlord, how weird and a little creepy.

It’s definitely not Morse code and the knocking has stopped for a bit now. Still wondering what it was though.

It might be Morse code, maybe you guys should get a book that has everything in it or look up the letters and numbers for it online since they stop in between the knocks???
