Have you ever had any noise problem where you live?

In college, I once moved into a suspiciously cheap apartment. Turned out the walls were VERY thin, and the neighbors ran…a phone sex line!

私も騒音問題のことがないです。うるさ過ぎる所に住んでいれば窓を開けなくて静かに本を読んで勉強するのは駄目だからひどいですね！
ところで今日のPDFは間違っています：丁寧な日本語版には“騒音問題専門弁護士”のことがなくて、映画版にも電気／ガス／水道／郵便物について何もないです…

AndamanIslander san> Ouch! Suspiciously cheap apartments often have SOMETHING wrong I suppose

プチクレアさん＞騒音問題はアパートを決めるときに重要な点ですよね！ＰＤＦ，修理しました！ありがとうございました！ 
Enrico san> The learning Center’s fixed! Thank you!!
私のアパートは壁が薄いので、（家賃は高いのに・・・）隣の人の見ているテレビ番組まで分かります。早く引っ越したいです 
In my apartment, the walls are thin (even though the rent is expensive…) that I can tell which TV channel my neighbor’s watching. Yup, I want to move soon.
