Usually it sounds like they're dropping a metal water bottle on the floor from a decent height, or hammering on something solid on the floor. (These are most definitely not sexytime noises.) It is random but relatively frequent.

Does it actively impede any activity or enjoyment of my living space? I mean, not really I suppose. There's a fire and EMS hall not two blocks from me so I get plenty of noise from that and it doesn't phase me, but that noise is part of the deal of living in an urban center. But this is not your typical urban living ambient noise.
Is it one of those seemingly benign things that after a while drives you f--king bonkers like Chinese water torture? Well, I'm bitching about it on the internet, aren't I?

I have started broadcasting an SSID with an insanely long and complex password called 1-SUITE ### STOP DROPPING SH-T because I can't be arsed to go up there and say something and am afraid if I do I'm going to be tempted to wrap all their personal belongings in double-sided tape for them.
