Thank you all for your comments , many of which are alike. Thank you for taking time to respond. In the end I went in the bath just after 8am. Nice to see points of view from those living on the ground floor. I try to take this I ro account I don't usually put my washer on before 9am. My anxiety makes me worry and I really don't want to fall out with my neighbour.

I do actually have hearing loss due to tinnitus.
But I still wouldn't be putting the machine on at 4am or having a bath.
Saying all that, surely the property should be sound proof in this respect to be considered suitable housing?
You shouldn't really be able to hear every day sounds.

Flats aren't generally sound proofed, especially social housing.
Purpose built flats are better in this respect than coversions.
For my own building (2 up & 2 down, seperate front doors no communal entrance), I very rarely hear my adjacent neighbour, I do very often hear my upstairs neighbour.
Yes living in a flat you do often hear every day sounds.
You tune them out after a while as background noise, as you would something like traffic if living on a busy road.

Did you watch the program that Chris Packham did with a few autistic people last year?
There was a really interesting section in it about noise. (And smell, light, heat, etc). It turns out that 'normal' people block out the vast majority of sensory inputs as standard without even realising it. But autistic people don't seem to have that 'filter', which is why they never get used to a sensory input and get quickly overwhelmed by multiple sensory inputs at the same time. That is exactly the issue I have myself but never realised before just how differently other people were experiencing exactly the same situation.

It was a very interesting show @OverlyAnxious and although I know many autistic folk have sensory issues, I'd never really thought about it for myself as I studied music, played in bands and used to DJ, but the more I think about it, the more I realise I really do need some levels of quiet, or ordered noise to be able to function normally.

OA, I hope I did but not sure!
I had no idea just how horrendous noise pollution was until lockdown. None of my ear protection is enough when I'm out and about.
CP is my autism hero ๐

Noise carries up and down walls. Laminate flooring accentuates noise.
My flat is purpose-built in a time when neighbours were more considerate of one another.
Outdoors, people routinely yell into their mobile phone in any public place and there is no escape from that. Drivers take calls on loudspeaker with a window open. I could go on. I won't.

How much does an active noise cancellation system for the whole room cost, for example?

But is there any such thing?
I think it's called a house to yourself ๐

I suggest after wake up you should take bath.

I mostly shower at i find it hard to get out bath due to arthritis in my knee. I do try to be good neighbour where noise is concerned.

I don't see any reason for not having a bath or shower any time, night or day, as long as you don't have a radio on loud to sing to.
I'm in a flat & my neighbours above, below & beside don't give a flying hoot what noise they make at all hours. Dragging furniture across laminate (that they're not allowed to have) from 6:30 am until the small hours. Then there's very loud music, could come from all angles. Banging doors all hours, drilling & hammering until late evening. A screaming fishwife & then screaming kids, any hours. Then there's drunkenness not me, but sometimes I seriously think about it. None of it is just now & then, it is very regular. All in all, bleddy wonderful here! The sound of anyone having a bath or shower (minus music) at any hour would be quite relaxing really. ๐

After reading your post, I consider myself lucy that I don't on the whole have as much noise as you do. I'm sorry to hear you have I so bad. Sending hugs x

My parter in 2001 was a big Elvis fan/sang like him in band ๐ฅฑ. We split up I bought a ground floor flat sat quietly relaxing the first night, 23rd Dec 2001. Suddenly "you ain't nothing but a hound dog" started playing very loud above me ๐ . Every single night; he played all of Elvis music but Hound Dog must have been hus favourite ๐ฌ. Couldn't get away from Elvis ๐๐๐คฃ. On 11th Jan I got 2 little rescue dogs which wasn't really allowed (they weren't yappers luckily). Put my flat up for sale and by the beginning of April 2002 had moved to a little cottage thankfully. I don't really mind Elvis but knew I couldn't get used to noise above me, especially Elvis ๐คฃ๐คฃ

Sorry, I just read it)
Active noise reduction systems are built into expensive Mercedes and BMW models. I think there should be a service for installing such systems in homes.

Many older homes still do not meet the Decent Home Standard in terms of heating and insulation.
Soundproofing was simply not a priority because people didn't make as much noise back then! We weren't trying to talk over TV's, mobile phones on loudspeaker, car alarms, leaf-blowers and US-style sirens when we were indoors...
And yappy dogs ๐ thankfully, are banned from Housing Association properties !

Active noise cancellation systems are just microphones, speakers and a computer. Much cheaper than insulating a house.
