Definitely. Last time we lived in apartment, the people upstairs ran the vacuum and did martial arts at early morning hours ... or what we would call “the middle of the night.”

I had one of those in an apartment in Vegas, years ago. She would vacuum at 0200 and one morning (I was getting up at 0500, then!) I decided I’d had enough, and went up and knocked on her door, loud enough for it to be heard over the vacuum.

I told her I lived downstairs and asked politely if she could either vacuum before 2200 or after 0500, and her response was surprise. “You live downstairs??” I replied that I did and she asked how long I had lived there. The answer was an even bigger surprise: 18 months. She said she thought the apartment below hers was vacant and she vacuumed when she got of work and then apologized profusely. And then we had a good laugh.

Since then, I’ve managed to live in apartments that had none above them. I prefer it that way!
