Living with laminate flooring noise affects personality

I am a different person when I spend time away from home. I can relax, I can sleep easily, I awake feeling good about the coming day. I can focus on anything I want to knowing I will not be ripped from my own thoughts by loud, harsh noises raining down from above.

Returning to my home I feel the dread closing in, as if I am walking into a prison cell. Even if the noise is not present when I enter, I know that it will come. Almost immediately I feel myself transform into another person - a person who is anxious and fearful, jumpy and depressed. It is like a light goes out inside me knowing that I have to live here until change comes.

The noise did come and it came loud. Three hours and three pairs of outdoor shoes running around all over the property upstairs. Three hours of doors slamming, furniture grinding and random thuds and bangs. It was impossible to find a place in my home, the place that is supposed to be my sanctuary from the world, to sit without noise. Loud noise.

Currently I do not have a bedroom. I sleep in whichever room I guess will have the least disturbance. I don't always guess right.

Life, like the chairs on the laminate flooring above me, grinds on.

I think wooden flooring is more noisy then the laminated flooring. But you say that laminated flooring is also noisy. Thank you so much for sharing this view about laminated flooring.
