Marbles Sound
-
Anybody know why huh? My upstairs neighbour seems like those kids keep on playing marbles
. I am so pissed by the sound 
!
Should I go upstairs and confront them??? -
I think HDB has already answered, but I reckon their answer came from somewhere here.
-
It's the sound produced by the metal foundations of the building in the ceilings and floors when they contract in the night due to temperature changes. I think.
This ish the answer? -
I always thought it was the waterhammer effect, but then I know the waterhammer effect should sound like, and they don't sound like goli goli.

my next door neighbour's dog keep on barking :S
-
not again..

Interestingly, I've not encountered such sounds in Bangkok high-rise buildings. Neither have I heard it before in office and hotels, only in my HDB flat. Creepy yeah?

haiyo, i live in the highest floor, also heard it. life goes on.
there are even machinery noises at 3 or 4am.
even water tanks don't make such noises and can't be the lift shafts right?
just don't think so much about it la. -
Ask your town council if your block comes with booster pumps to boost water pressure for the lower levels. They're located on the roof. The old type works on timer, the newer ones work on demand.Originally posted by alwaysdisturbed:haiyo, i live in the highest floor, also heard it. life goes on.

There can only be one more thing more scary than a ghost in your home, dragg as your neighbour.Originally posted by dragg:i approached my neighbour upstairs for the 6th time yesterday.

later u see those bangalas playing marbles and cricket upstairs, then they will drink beer and coke together, and sing their song

but one thing i know for sure. my neigbour's yelling is definitely not caused by water pipes. she did not yell, "tack, tack, tack, tack."
