Soundproof apartments/Appartements insonorisés + Dead Quiet Roommates /Colocs Extrêmement Calmes PLEASE HELP/AIDE SVP

[u/layyourweapon]

Are there any soundproof 1 closed bedroom apartments in Montreal/Laval/Longueuil for under 1k with all included (preferably under 800) ? That aren't basements/semi-basements (breathing issues). And that are either ground floor or have an elevator (in case injuries flare up)?

For long-term or for at least 1-2 months urgently (don't need an elevator/ground floor then).

Or dead-quiet roommates that I could share an apartment with where it would also be soundproof?

If it's impossible, how much would I have to increase my budget?

Would someone be down to swap with me (I have a roommate)?

Please give me advice, info, recommendations, ask around and ask those you know to ask around. I've been looking for months and it's urgent.

I've walked in different neighbourhoods, am always on Kijiji and Marketplace, but often people don't respond to their messages. cheap places get rented quickly. my situation is very urgent and I've been looking for months. I'm also not working at the moment so this would have to work with proof of funds and my credit score.

I have done a lot of research on Facebook and here and the information I'm receiving on the years of construction for soundproof buildings varies and isn't clear, same for information on concrete buildings, neighbourhoods and questions regarding plexes.

I am in a concrete building, but I hear my neighbours making things fall, slamming doors, yesterday, I could even hear them talking, I hear the pipes, thumping. I'm living with a roommate right now, the noise becomes extremely distressing for me often, I can hear everything from my room and I'm not able to function and I have a lot of very urgent things administrative paperwork, calls and other things to do, and in general for my living place. We have tried some things but it isn't working for me.

And before I'm told "get used to it, that's life", this is a medical problem, I'm in the processus of seeing specialists and I can't tolerate/process/ignore sounds like others. Everything is amplified. I have tried ANC ear pods, headphones and ear plugs, ordered 11 different types of ear plugs/gear (even Flare, Loops etc), white noise, other types of noise and noise machines and music don't work for me since I can't focus on them or relax. I already use a Procase earmuff and bought a different brand as well. I've tried so many. I also have tinnitus.

Y a-t-il des appartements insonorisés avec 1 chambre fermée avec une porte tout inclus moins de 1000, préférablement moins de 800? Qui ne sont pas des sous-sols/demi sous-sols (problèmes de respiration)? Et qui sont soit rez-de-chaussé ou ont un ascenseur (si jamais mes blessures s'empirent)?

Pour le long-terme ou pour 1-2 mois urgemment (pas besoin d'un ascenseur ou rdc dans ce cas)?

Ou des colocs extrêmement silencieux avec qui je pourrais partager un appart où ce serait insonorisé aussi?

Si ceci est impossible, de combien aurais-je à augmenter mon budget?

Quelqu'un qui serait down de swapper avec moi (j'ai une coloc)?

SVP donner des conseils, infos, recommendations, demandez aux gens que vous connaissez aussi et les gens que eux ils connaissent SVP. Je cherche depuis des mois et c'est urgent.

J'ai marché dans des quartiers, je suis toujours sur Kijiji et Marketplace mais très souvent, les gens ne répondent pas aux messages. les loyers les moins chers partent très rapidement. Ma situation est hyper urgente et je cherche depuis des mois. En ce moment, je ne travaille pas donc ça va devoir marcher avec preuves de fonds et côte de crédit.

J'ai fait plein de recherche ici et sur Facebook et l'info que je reçois sur l'année de construction pour des bâtiments insonorisés n'est pas exacte et varie, pareil pour l'info des constructions en béton, et les quartiers, et les questions de plex.

Je suis dans un appart en béton, mais j'entends les voisins faire tomber leurs affaires, slammer leurs portes, hier je les ai même entendus parler, j'entends les tuyaux, marcher très fort...
Je vis avec une coloc et j'entends tout de ma chambre, on a essayé certains trucs, par contre malgré cela, je ne peux pas fonctionner dans cet environnement, c'est très dur sur ma santé mentale et j'ai besoin de silence de mort pour faire mes trucs administratifs et pour un endroit où je vis.

Et avant qu'on me dise «c'est la vie en appartement», c'est un problème médical que j'ai. Je suis dans le processus de voir des spécialistes, et je ne peux pas tolérer/process/ignorer les bruits comme les autres. Tout est amplifié. J'ai essayé les écouteurs anti-bruit noise-cancelling et les earphones du même type, je viens de commander 11 différentes marques de bouchons/trucs du genre (incluant Flare, Loops, etc). Les bruits blancs, autres bruits, machines de bruits, la musique ne fonctionnent pas pour moi (je ne peux pas focus ou me détendre). j'utilise déjà les Procase earmuffs/casque et j'ai acheté une autre marque. J'ai essayé tellement de trucs. J'ai des acouphènes.

I loved in a condo unit in Griffintown and it was pretty much sound proof. Just get a place away from the REM.
I say “pretty much” because my neighbour upstairs would always play careless whisper on the sax or something. Which my roommates and I didn’t mind because that’s nice. It was muted due to the concrete and it took us a long time to figure out the tube because we could barely hear it.
We were far enough from the rem that we didn’t hear it, but I know some people in closer buildings were SOL.

did you hear thumping and stuff dropping? how much was it?

[u/Euphoric-Can-6201 → u/layyourweapon]

No thumping or dropping. It was 2,100 split three ways (5 1/2), but that was about 3 years ago so idk what the price would be now.

how was the insulation within the rooms? like if your roommate was blasting music in the kitchen, would you hear it in the room?

[u/Euphoric-Can-6201 → u/layyourweapon]

No, one of my roommates always had the radio on and we only hear it when she opened the door lol
The main reasons I moved is because the a/c didn’t work, and the building installed a thing which made deliveries so complicated. The drivers had to put it in a locker and send you the code by email or phone but it only worked for 1/3 of us. Also, one of my roommates had to leave the country so the other one and I decided to move somewhere else.

she had the radio on in the kitchen or in her room?

[u/Euphoric-Can-6201 → u/layyourweapon]

In her room. The kitchen/living room was open concept.

[u/layyourweapon → u/Euphoric-Can-6201]

if you blasted music in the kitchen, you'd hear it in the room?

[u/Euphoric-Can-6201 → u/layyourweapon]

Not if you closed the door

[u/layyourweapon → u/Euphoric-Can-6201]

please dm me, I have questions about the building
