Sound can also travel very oddly. I grew up in a house where my sibling's bedroom was between my bedroom and my parent's bedroom. I could have the radio on in my bedroom and turn the volume down so low that you couldn't make out individual words if you were standing a few feet in front of the radio, and you couldn't hear it at all in the hallway or my sibling's room, but somehow in my parent's room it was obnoxiously loud. I remember one time I had it on just loud enough to hear my music in my room and I went to my parent's room to talk to them and almost had to yell to be heard over it. I had to use headphones all the time and I couldn't have private conversations in my bedroom if I didn't want my parents to hear.

When she's in one of her music moods it's so loud you can hear it not just in my apartment, you can hear it through half the hallway on my floor, you walk up to her floor and it sounds like a full on concert. The cherry on top is that she blasts music or movies as late as 1 am and as early as 6 am. Last summer she had a habit of hammering at things in the middle of the night, like 3/4 am. I haven't slept without headphones since I moved here and I'm averaging about 5-6 hours of sleep a day. I am not exaggerating when I say I hope she drops dead, I can see in the mirror that I've physically aged like 10 years in the 1.5 years I've been here.
