Noise from the neighbor's dryer

[MSbygg]

Hello,

We live in a multi-family building built in 2013. Something very strange is that we hear our upstairs neighbors' dryer. We hear this in our living room (we live in a 2.5-room apartment).
I have previously lived in an apartment, newly built from 2011, without hearing anything.
I don't mind the sound of the dryer itself; the problem is that when it's done, it goes on afterheat. For 2 hours (!!), which means it stops and then runs for 5-10 seconds every minute.
This sound is incredibly disturbing as we can hear it even when the TV is on. We hear both the neighbors directly above us and the ones above them as well.
The aftermarket service has been and filmed in the shaft and claims that it is properly sealed/performed.
What do you think is causing us to hear the sound so clearly?

Regards,
Maria

Hello,

We live in a multi-family house built in 2013. Something very peculiar is that we hear our upstairs neighbors' tumble dryer. We hear this in our living room (we live in a 2.5 room apartment).
I have previously lived in an apartment, newly built from 2011, without hearing anything.
I don't mind the sound of the tumble dryer itself, the problem is that when it finishes, it goes into after-heat mode. For 2 hours (!!) Which means it stops and then runs for 5-10 seconds every minute.
This noise is incredibly disturbing, as we also hear it when the TV is on. We hear both the neighbors directly above us and those who live above them.
The aftermarket team has been and filmed in the shaft and claims it is properly sealed/performed.
What do you think the reason is that we hear the sound so well?

Kind regards,
Maria

It's probably that the sound is transmitted through the building structure itself. Perhaps something like this under the neighbors' machine could reduce the problems: https://quickparts.se/stotdampande-gummimatta-60-x-60-x-08-cm/107063

the problem is that when it's done, it goes into afterheat. For 2 hours (!!) Which means it stops and then runs for 5-10 sec every minute.

No direct answer to your problem, it's not afterheat it's running on but wrinkle protection, wrinkle protection usually lasts for two hours. Wrinkle protection is just what it sounds like, a protection to prevent the clean, dry laundry from becoming wrinkled, that's why the drum rotates a bit. On many machines, a buzzer sounds at the same time as the drum rotates, this buzzer can usually be turned off.

Talk to the neighbor, tell the neighbor that the dryer is audible and that the laundry should be taken care of as early as possible during the wrinkle protection period.
