JayBee, do you still have noise issues or have things calmed down a bit?
It's not bad, but I think a lot of it has to do with one of my neighbours not moving in yet. My neighbour on the other side isn't bad. I don't hear her too much, but if I go up to the wall, I can hear quite a bit (when she's playing music or talking/watching tv). When I have my own TV on, I don't hear anything. The weird thing is it's not like she's "loud" it's just that the sound is coming through that little 6 inch gap that separates the window from the wall. That little area is not soundproofed properly. I'm a snorer and I do encounter some screamers on the odd drunken night
. There's no doubt that I'll keep my neighbours up since our bedrooms are attached.
With that said, I know other buildings with glass curtain walls that don't suffer from this problem. Glas and Spire are 2 that come to mind. Looks like the thick wall continues all the way to the window.
With Murano - Look at the walls by the window..they're less than half the thickness of the rest of the walls.
Murano:
Casa (If you look closely, you can see the thinner wall by the window):
Glas (looks like the thick wall is caried right though to the glass):
The wall is basically the same thickness as the spandrel? which can't be more than 6 inches. This is a huge gaffe on Lanterra's part. I heard 22 Wellesley has soundproofing issues as well (same builder, same window/wall construction). We'll see what happens...hopefully they got their act together on Maple Leaf Square and One Bedford.
