I have to admit they seem to be more focused with upkeep in areas that are visible to the public, such as replacing the elevator doors that were scratched, which is nice and all, however this kind of maintenance is not acceptable and certainly not up to par with what the building deserves.

I have very considerate neighbours but I heard that some owners were annoyed by the music played by people renting a unit. If talking to them does not work, I would go by the rules in place.

The walls between my unit and the adjacent ones seem quite effective in blocking sounds. So far, I felt no need to sound proof the door.

I did not see the rolls you are referring to but my guess is they are used to stop the fresh/ cold air coming from the hallway.

I myself am an avid drummer, but I have traded in my ear-piercing acoustic set for a quiet electric set because of the move. I fear that the neighbors still may hear the tapping noise, but it's only about as loud as someone tapping their fingers on a desk. That being said, I don't plan on playing past 9pm or so. I wonder how well we will be able to hear others TVs and stereos inside of our unit. I guess we will have to wait and see. Any tips for sound-proofing the door? I've noticed a lot of units have these little rolls at the bottom of their doors on the outside. I'm not sure if that is to keep out sound, or keep heat in, or both.
