Sister Tao’s words:
One netizen who is extremely sensitive to noise asked whether buying a penthouse would guarantee absolute peace. Some agree that the top floor provides irreplaceable tranquility and privacy, and that modern building materials reduce problems such as leakage and heat insulation. However, some have suggested that sub-top floors are a more reasonable option as they avoid potential troubles caused by direct exposure to the elements, such as water leaks or extreme weather effects. Some also pointed out that builders are often the last to release units that are difficult to sell.

When buying a house, the biggest fear is that the noise from bad neighbors will disturb the residents, and they will not be able to get a good rest when they want to sleep in the middle of the night, resulting in poor living quality. Recently, a netizen who is very sensitive to noise wanted to know whether it is worth buying a top floor for a quiet space? As soon as the post came out, it immediately aroused heated discussion, and everyone immediately recommended that you consider the “sub-penthouse”: “The sub-penthouse is still the first choice. The only reason for buying a house is the second floor and the top floor because the builder wants to make it difficult to sell.”
The netizen posted a post on PTT today (18th) with the title “Is it really best to buy a penthouse?” He said that when buying a house, choosing the penthouse will greatly outperform other floors without having to gamble on the character of the neighbors above. And almost every time For each project, the top floor is the most expensive, but the thought of living in such a high-rise building makes me feel tired. “I used to live on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th floors, and sometimes I could just walk up the stairs.” However, he is particularly sensitive to noise. So I asked for help: “I have spent a lot of money, and I have higher requirements for the quality of life, because I want to live there for a lifetime and don’t want to have regrets. Is the top floor really foolproof?”

As soon as the post came out, netizens left comments and praised it, “The attic is cool, water leaks can be solved with a small amount of money”, “I also like the attic, the quietness is priceless”, “Sensitive people should buy the attic”, “I have been unknown to you. Which floor is so noisy that I have to move, and from now on I will only live on the top floor.”, “The insulation bricks are much better than before. If you feel hot again, turn on the air conditioner. Compared with being noisy, the electricity bill is really nothing.” “You have to live on the top floor to know how great it is. You don’t have to worry about the noise upstairs.”
However, some netizens recommend “sub-penthouse”, “Actually, the sub-penthouse is the best solution”, “I don’t want to buy the attic, water leakage is really troublesome”, “The sub-penthouse is still the first choice, and the reason for buying a house is that only the second floor and the top floor are left. The builders must have come up with something that is difficult to sell.” “It’s scary when the heat in the south is high.” “It’s stupid to buy the attic. Do you know that the second floor and the attic should not be touched if you often browse the housing boards?” “The sub-roof is the most expensive in new buildings. I bought the penthouse just because I had the penthouse left.” (original source)
