Woman says neighbour’s alarm wakes her family up daily from 4:45am till 5:45am ‘non-stop without snoozing’

SINGAPORE: A woman took to social media due to the non-stop alarm her neighbour sets from 4:45 until 5:45 on weekday mornings, “without snoozing.”

A Ms Yenny Chen wrote on the COMPLAINT SINGAPORE Facebook page on Wednesday (July 19) a message addressed to her “dear neighbour.”

She wrote, “(I) understand that you have to wake up early for work or something else, however your alarm wakes me and my family up every weekday 4:45 am till 5:45 am non stop without snoozing.”

Ms Chen added that her neighbour’s alarm had already woken her up but that he was “still sleeping soundly…”

And even though they closed all their windows, they can still hear and be disturbed by the alarm, she wrote.

“We are not sure which unit my neighbor staying at, and who to feedback with this issue…” added Ms Chen.

She also posted three videos from where her neighbour’s alarm can be heard: here, here and here.

The Independent Singapore has reached out to Ms Yenny Chen for further comment.

Many netizens have commented on, liked and shared her post on COMPLAINT SINGAPORE.

One wrote that HDB flats are built so close together that even when people pass gas, it can be heard by their neighbours.

Another made a suggestion to communicate in a better way with their neighbour.

One woman shared her experience with her neighbour’s alarm clock.

A netizen wondered if someone is in the flat at all.

It’s obvious that Ms Chen is not the only one with this problem.
