    vibrating air conditioner
    I live in a semi and my neighbour raised her a/c 7 ft high. Since then, I hear her a/c in my own and most importantly, I hear it more on the 2ft floor on the complete opposite wall in my bedroom. It doesn't even sound like an a/c noise, it a frequency and I cannot slept. It almost sounds like I;m sleep right in the middle of those rows of Hydro Lines. She's insisting it's not her problem and I;m supposed to assist in paying for the solution. I;m concerns about my health since I'm now getting headaches and I'm concerns that it will eventually crack my brinks. What is the best solution. Right now the a/c is sitting on metal brackets without rubber. Will installing the rubber piece do the trick or is there anything else. Unfortuntately, we wants to use the company who raised the unit and I don't have a say even though I don't have faith in this company. HELP!

    Call the local building department since there are codes to deal with this subject. While you are checking with the building department see if your neighbor had taken out a building permit for moving the unit. PS I have no idea what a semi is that you live in.

    I live in a semi-detached house so I'm attached to another house. I don't want to call builiding department just yet since my nieghbour is a bull & I'm afraid she will retaliate. Since my house it attached to her... she can make my life hell. When I originally call the City, they said they won't come to hear the noise in my home... they would just contact her, which makes no sense. I just want to low frequency noise to stop so I just wonder if the rubber isolater are the answer or if there is something else

    I guess I need an answer from you. Why did the neighbor raise the unit so high to start with? Putting a unit that high would make it harder to service I believe and that in turn would make the future repairs more costly.
