Landed living - noise concerns

Culefan — Thu, 09 Mar 2023 17:19:56 +0800

Hi All,

As someone who's never actually lived in a landed property before, I would like to know from those who have what the noise situation is like. Specifically, can you hear thudding sounds coming through the shared walls when the neighbours move furniture, close doors loudly, etc?

At the condo where I'm living, my walls and floor vibrate when the neighbor below closes their front door. Is this a problem with the shared walls in a terrace or semi-d?

I'm less concerned about noise coming through the windows because that can be mitigated somewhat with good soundproof windows. Noise coming through the structure is more difficult to solve. For example, I've noticed that in some condos, the air con compressor from neighbours above will vibrate the slab and make a whirring/humming sound in the unit below. Would this also be a problem with landed homes? (I'm thinking that it might be because the compressors normally are mounted on the external walls.)

What is your experience with noise in terraces and Semi-Ds? I would appreciate anything you can share.

Thanks in advance!

Overseas ecommerce sites-package forwarding

Culefan — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 17:12:40 +0800

Hi,
I was wondering how you guys buy things from international ecommerce sites that don't deliver to Malaysia (many do not). Specifically, I am looking to buy some things from some companies in Singapore.

Google search turns up some companies that do parcel forwarding. Does anyone have any experience using these -- any rec's?

Thanks in advance

PS. I wasn't sure which forum to post this in

Item(s) conditions: Almost brand new. Just purchased one day ago and barely used for more than 10 minutes

Picture: See https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-...anical-keyboard

Reason for sale: The profile of the keyboard is too high for my typing style. This is my first time using the a mechanical keyboard and I didn't realise they were so tall compared to laptop keyboards that I am used to. After using for just 5 minutes, I knew I couldn't type on this for long. It has barely been used for 10 minutes total, so as good as new.

Where to buy racing chair?

Culefan — Sat, 01 Feb 2020 09:19:01 +0800

Hi,

Does anyone know where I can buy a racing chair for playing racing sims? Something like the Playseat Evolution. I would like to test the seat before buying so recommendations for physical stores with demo units would be helpful.

Thanks
