Living in an apartment has a big issue. They aren't soundproof, so noise from one carries to the other. This is true in real life as well as in media. And in both, a common way to deal with this is to bang on the wall/floor/ceiling, depending on the direction of the noise, in the hopes that this will quiet the offending noise. And in both, this rarely works, and may even encourage the neighbors. One of the most commonly portrayed versions of this is an old person banging on the ceiling with a broom. If the setting is a dormitory (again both in fiction and out), expect this trope, since: young and frequently inebriated college students are hardly known for their ability to remain quiet and dorms tend to have even thinner walls and even more people in the same amount of space than an apartment building. Right Through the Wall may induce this due to people being entirely too loud about their...business. Compare Big "SHUT UP!". Not related to "Banging" on the ceiling. |

The Far Side: One strip has the noisy person on the phone with the complainer, saying something like "Well why don't you make me shut up, or do you just talk big?", and the complainer is a giant who completely fills his apartment room. Another has the complainer about to march up there and give the noisy group a piece of his mind, and they are all a bunch of robed cultists performing ritual sacrifices. | |

In Super Mario RPG, one citizen of Monstro Town complains that he keeps hearing strange noises and incoherent muttering next door. Mario tries to investigate, but the door is always locked. Later in the game, Mario can open the door, and it turns out his neighbor is Culex, a powerful sorcerer drawn in the normal ''Final Fantasy'' art style, and the house is actually a portal to his personal dimension, an Amazing Technicolor Battlefield. Culex was about to invade Mario's dimension when Mario arrived. | |

An episode of House revolves around this with the cranky neighbor below being a Canadian veteran who lost an arm in Vietnam and suffers from extremely painful phantom limb. It's eventually resolved when House breaks into his apartment, knocks him out, duct tapes him to a chair, and... cures him. | |

Henrietta Himberg from the first Ricky Rapper book is an extreme case: She sends angry letters to Serena and Ricky due to Ricky's loud drum playing, and ends up dognapping their neighbor's dog Vanessa to force him to stop. It turns out that it's because the sound of drums is her Trauma Button, as she was a circus acrobat who fell off a rope and severely injured herself to the sound of the drums. | |

Used a lot in recent years in For Better or for Worse because of the crabby downstairs neighbours Mike and Deanna have...and Deanna's mom provoking them for being so crabby. The neighbours damage the ceiling while doing this and the landlady had all the proof she needed finding the broken plaster in the trash to hit them with the bill for the repairs. | |

The first few episodes of Welcome to the NHK have the main protagonist, Satou, being driven half-mad by his next-door neighbor (next door but sharing the same wall), who keeps playing the same J-Pop song, nonstop, 24 hours a day. A number of times he angrily kicks the wall and yells for his neighbor to turn the music down. | |

In the DS game Touch Detective, your first case has you visiting the main character's extremely ditzy friend in her apartment. While you're talking, she hears her upstairs neighbor comes in, excuses herself for a moment, then starts banging on the ceiling with a stick of some sort, receiving some stomps in reply. When your shocked main character asks what she's doing, she explains that she's just greeting her neighbor in Morse code. The problem? As you find out when you visit the neighbor, your friend never explained this system at all, and the neighbor is just trying to get her to shut up with their "replies". You, of course, explain the mistake. It's implied that the neighbor goes along with it from then on, but it's not really brought up again, so who knows? | |

The Wizards of Waverly Place "Jalex"-fic Justin Left Stanford is made of this trope. Central to the story is how Alex gets back at Justin for going to college in California (and leaving her) by learning how to use the 'spell locks' to ensure that during his vacation time at home, he can hear and enjoy every moment of her nightly fantasies about him. | |

Disney Ducks Comic Universe: In one Donald Duck story by Carl Barks, Donald and his nephews move into a terraced house in a neighborhood that's famous for its quietness. Donald, being Donald, manages to quickly get into an Escalating War of ceiling-banging with his new next-door neighbor, with the two using increasingly loud methods to get the other to stop making noise. The only thing that finally manages to stop them is their mellow upstairs neighbor blowing a massive alpenhorn, which temporarily deafens them both. | |

The Sims 2 Apartment Life lets you be on either side of the equation: Your sim may have a noisy neighbor, and decide to bang on the wall, or your sim may be a noisy neighbor, and have his/her wall banged upon. However, dorm walls in The Sims 2 University never have the same problem; a Sim can sleep in his/her dorm room even if a wild party is going on in common space. | |

Eulice does this in one of the early strips of Ménage à 3, with a twist: she does indeed interrupt a conversation, but not due to being bothered by the noise. Rather, it is solely to reaffirm a statement in the conversation that she will have Gary's hide in the event the rent is not paid promptly. | |

In the French comedy Delusions of Grandeur, Blaze the valet (Yves Montand) is keeping his master Don Salluste (Louis de Funès) awake by dancing the flamenco and singing in the small room right atop Salluste's luxurious bedroom. Since it's a castle, the ceiling is very high and Salluste has first to build up an improbable pile of furniture and chairs to reach it. Then he bangs the ceiling with the handle of a halberd, to no avail... until the tip goes through all the way, right between Blaze's feet. The sassy valet then pulls on it, making Salluste lose his footing and the pile of furniture collapse underneath him just as he clings to the halberd. Then, he shouts at Blaze to let go, and the latter complies... letting Salluste fall from a good height, the blade of the halberd landing pointy end first and sending a comical vibration throughout the irate nobleman. | |

The Monty Python's Flying Circus episode "Sex and Violence" had a brief bit with a man banging on the ceiling with a broom. It was the transition between two sketches, with the family of the working-class playwright being shushed by Michael Palin so he could introduce a man with three buttocks. "We've done that!" All right, all right! A man with... nine legs! "He ran away." Oh, bloody hell. Uh... a Scotsman on a horse! [old ladies applaud] | |

In Mork & Mindy, this trope is used for a classic gag. Mindy is complaining about a ceiling banger below her apartment and Mork suggests she make the best of it making by making a game of it. When Mindy asks how, Mork stomps on the floor and uses the ceiling banger's subsequent banging to sweep Mindy into a square dance with himself as the caller. | |

Guys Being Dudes: One of the factors that drives Sierra to decide Arlo needs to get laid in order to stop his descent into Emo madness is that he's been blasting Metalcore at all hours of the day and night, she lives in the room next to him, and she hasn't gotten a good night's sleep in weeks. | |

Parodied in a cutaway gag on Family Guy. A guy sneezes, and that set off the woman in the apartment below. The guy sighs at this overreaction, and she threatens to call the police. | |

Happens in a couple of How I Met Your Mother episodes, most notably in the one where Future Ted tells his kids that they were annoyed by the loud bagpiping of the neighbors. Also referenced in another episode where Lilly tells Ted she can hear Robin's orgasms because the walls are thin. | |

The I Love Lucy episode "Breaking the Lease" is a prime example of this. After a night of window slamming at the Ricardos' apartment, the Mertzes downstairs complain enough where Ricky and Lucy threaten to move out - only stymied by a 50-year lease. They determine to break the lease by making as much noise as possible - stomping around with heavy shoes, and so on; finally climaxing by bringing Ricky's band into the apartment for a jam session. Fred almost subverts this by charging admission, but after he goes to bed, they ratchet it up by playing the Mexican Hat Dance over an over until the Mertzes give up. All, of course ends happily, as all concerned start crying when the Ricardos are actually packing. | |

Friends: Mr. Heckles would routinely bang on the floor of Monica and Rachel's apartment and complain about the noise. When he passed away, Chandler noticed that due to the building's weird acoustics, the noise from other apartments actually was heavily amplified and started to bang on the ceiling himself until he realised in horror what he was doing (the Running Gag throughout that episode was that Chandler had found Heckles' old school year-book and was freaking out at their similarities). There was also one episode where the guy who lived above Monica and Rachel was making too much noise, but whenever they went up to complain he was so nice they forgot about it. Phoebe goes up to complain for them, and they end up getting on so well that the noise gets a lot worse. |

The thin bedroom walls (and the requisite banging) were one of the reasons Commander Murray was so keen to move out of his parents-in-law house in The Navy Lark. | |

We see Josh do this during an episode of Sabrina the Teenage Witch when he hears Sonny and Cher playing very late at night and assumes its the upstairs neighbor. The twist, of course, is that it's Sabrina's spell coming into his apartment and has nothing at all to do with the neighbors. | |

In one "Dial M for Monkey" segment of Dexter's Laboratory, Magmanamus, a giant magma monster that lives in the center of earth, pounds the ceiling of its room with a broom to get the people on the surface to keep it down so he can sleep. When it doesn't work, he goes upstairs. | |
