Hello,

After moving from horrible to hellish flats, I would like to try to find a way of living in any kind of housing, if I can avoid noise from the neighbors.

What was a somewhat peaceful apartment a few months ago has become as noisy as a construction site thanks to one mother and her two kids aged 10 who apparently were not raised like normal people, because they spend their time smashing on furniture, running inside, bashing on the walls and so on, and despite living two stories below my flat, they make so much noise that it resonates and produces echo in my home, and I suffer this noise all day long up to 21h45, when their mother comes back home and put them to sleep, I would guess.

I work from home and rarely go outside to spare my money, so the situation is hard to live through since I don't have any place to go to rest, expect during the night. I began to shift my work hours so I can spend a few hours during the night without noise, but I fear waking up and dread the morning because I'll go back to hearing all the commotion again until night, and the cycle goes on.

Without disclosing too much boring information about me, I have several mental disorders, one of which makes me highly sensitive to noise, to the point hearing a loud noise physically hurts me. It goes without saying that I almost live 24/7 with noise cancelling headphones on and listen to white noise to escape this torment, however, even using this device, the noise goes through the cancelling and my heart skips a beat every time a loud "bang" is heard against the walls. I'm very aware of noise and do my best to be silent to keep things calm and peaceful for everyone (I tiptoe to avoid loudly stomping around with my heels, close doors gently and never listen to music outside of my headphones), and living with people that don't give a damn is unbearable.

If anyone can help me, I'm looking for advice on the following questions:

1. Can anything be done so my neighbors calm their kids? I'm aware that children are most of the time treated like Gods by their parents who simply refuse to see their kids anything else than perfect beings, and legally speaking it's almost as bad or worse.
2. If nothing can be done about #1, ss there any gated community in Switzerland where noise sources are not allowed (like pets, children, music or anything related)? Or ressources to find such places like specialized apps, forums or tools? I don't care about the living conditions, living in a 4 square meter flat without heating is fine.

To give maybe a bit more context (and this is not a complain, only facts) I always deeply suffered from being exposed to others, resulting in periods of uncontrollable panic attacks where I would stop breathing and pull my hair out. I'm at the point where I want my life to end, because no medications help despite nearly two decades of therapy, and it looks like there is no escape.
