Vibration within wall, plumbing noise?
+8
I live in a hi-rise on 13th floor I am trying to find out what this loud vibration is because bldg management is not concerned. It only happens at night waking us.

Do you live near a train track? Is there a construction site nearby where they can only work at night between certain hours? Have you inquired with your neighbors to find out if they experience the same thing or know what it is? Is your residence located near an elevator and/or a garbage chute? Is the water pressure in your taps normal, because a water heater (probably found in the basement) will rumble the pipes.
It only happens at night?
Go through a process of elimination.
It could be happening when someone is very quickly shutting the water off which builds up a pressure in the water line and which will reverberate throughout the building. This can happen when there are not enough air vents in the system.
I would put a microphone on the noise source and record it for management and tell them it wakes you up nightly. If they refuse to fix it, maybe you could move to another unit?
I did that and they were still seemingly unconcerned
Sounds like old pipes.

I thought they skip the number 13.
you have air in the system .. you need to call proffessional
This is 22 story high rise, and management has to call professionals.
