Recently, discussions on social platforms about "the noise caused by the neighbor's piano playing upstairs disturbing the residents" have soared, becoming a new focus of neighborhood conflicts. The following is the statistics and analysis of related topics across the Internet in the past 10 days:
| platform | amount of discussion | core contradiction | Popular solutions |
|---|---|---|---|
| 128,000 items | Night practice time | Negotiate a fixed time period | |
| Zhihu | 5600+answers | Soundboard resonance problem | Install soundproof carpet |
| Douyin | 320 million views | Children's exam exercises | Use a silent pedal |
| little red book | 8900+notes | Poor sound insulation in old residential areas | Wall sound insulation renovation |
1. Data analysis of the focus of contradictions

According to public opinion monitoring, the main conflicts are concentrated in three time periods:
| time period | Complaint proportion | Typical scenario |
|---|---|---|
| 22:00-7:00 | 47% | Night rest affected |
| 12:00-14:00 | 28% | Lunch break was interrupted |
| All day weekend | 25% | Keep practicing noise |
2. Legal and normative references

| environmental area | diurnal standard | night standard |
|---|---|---|
| residential area | ≤55dB | ≤45dB |
| mixed zone | ≤60dB | ≤50dB |
Actual measurement data shows that when an upright piano is played, the sound pressure level at 1 meter is about 60-70 decibels, which may still exceed the standard after being transmitted through the floor.
