Complaints of noise from empty flat in Singapore

Tan Chuan-Jin said that while in most cases, the noises heard in HDB flats are caused by residents or are misperceived, he has encountered a few cases where there did not seem to be a scientific reason behind the odd sounds.ST PHOTO: KUA CHEE SIONG.

SINGAPORE: When he heard about a resident's complaint over the sound of chairs being dragged from a flat above, Marine Parade GRC MP Tan Chuan-Jin thought it was a neighbourly dispute.

However, he found out that there was no one living in the flat in question, as the former occupant had died and the apartment was empty.
