drop heavy objects at times and other times really tiny objects, like a bead bouncing on the floor. I swear. And that sometimes happens as late as 2 a.m.

What's up with that?

to ours and it always sounded to me like they were rearranging furniture. We later found out, after they moved out, that the man had been beating his wife. We felt terrible about it.

what it was. Someone told me the drug dealer downstairs got robbed and beat up. And of course he could not call out for the police. Creepy all around.

All kinds of noise like scraping Im not sure the cause is.

I sometimes feel paranoid the bottom floor is being banged on but not sure. Wish I lived downstairs.

It makes my cat jump too when the big thuds happen. I can't decide if they're slamming a door or dropping heavy furniture or throwing heavy things at the walls. It's really weird because it happens a lot.

But it seems to be coming from their kitchen, so I suspect it's culinary. Pounding down dough after a first rising, maybe?

I'm ruling out kinky sex in the kitchen because it's over way too soon.
