The chair draggers...
My neighbor is in her 80's and her son living with her is in his 60's. Originally from New Jersey, they would spend winters in Florida and summers at home. COVID changed their schedule and it looks like they are going to be here year-round.I've only seen her 3 times and one of those times, paramedics had to escort her to emergency. Her son rarely comes out too. Usually, to check mail or to get groceries. He doesn't go far as he carries oxygen, usually by a portable machine slung over his shoulder with a nasal cannula and short tubing.
I know when they are up as I hear them 'bumbling around' as early as 5am. Banging doors or walls loud enough to wake me from a sound sleep. Usually, breakfast is around 7am. I know this as I can hear them scooting their wooden chairs on the tile floor. The chair dragging is intermittent, but it actually goes on all day. Sometimes, it sounds like they are rearranging furniture and pushing the dining table back and forth a few feet.
If you have experienc dragging a chair to the table in a few 'short bursts' you probably know the sound I'm describing.
I consulted a friend about offering them some self-adhesive felt pads they could stick on the bottom of the chair legs, but I'm told that's a bad idea and I sold just tolerate the dragging noises... at least I know they are alive!

But fat arse snorers, farters, computer gamers, smoker's coughers and then they have the nerve to breed smaller versions of themselves, children! What's the world coming to?

I always glance over to see if it's an incoming message or my neighbor dragging the chair for lunch!
Or you could always 'get rid'
There is an ancient torture that is tying a person down and then dripping drops of water on their forehead 24/7 til they go mad. Those chairs are doing it to you.
I wonder what their response would be if you nicely approached them and offered to put felt pads on their chairs so they don't damage their floors. You noticed that those chairs are rough and worry their floors are getting marred. You know..just thinking of them.
Do you need to know are they alive or not? Lol...best to live in your own house, even smallest one is better than have neighbours and listen to THEIR noises. I know exactly what you mean, it is everyday suffering and you must adjust to THEIR lifestyle.
Grapewine, if they perish, it's only a matter of days before before the stench bleeds into the attic space.

I remember a friend of mine, used to work nights and he always complained about the birds singing in the morning...lol I said the birds singing bothers you and he said yes they sing loud...lol

A noise machine is just unwanted pollution.
They appear to be imprisoned on their condo and may not take the news well.
Tonight, their car wasn't in the assigned parking space and the dining room light that's usually on was dark.
'Me thinks' they are heading back to New Jersey!
