I have been hearing noises from the apartment above me. I can hear raised voices. I alo heard several loud sounds like a piece of furniture being overturned and pushed.

I know the lady and her daughter who live there. I have never heard any noises from them in 8 years.

I went and knocked on her door. I was going to tell her I thought somebody fell and I was checking o see if she was okay. Nobody would come to the door.

Should I call the police?


The police came and talked to them for a while. She as upset but not at him-her brother. No viible injuries and they will check agin.

1. I guess I would.

What if it was a home invasion deal? (Edit: Or maybe whoever was home had a stroke after a shouting match, somebody stormed out, and the other person then collapsed on the floor?)

2. You could call for a welfare check.

I'd try the door a couple more times though, kinda a three strike thing.

5. Yes, call the police just to be sure they're safe.

You are obviously concerned enough to warrant it.

8. I just called the police.

I called the non-emergency number and explained what I heard to the dispatcher. They are sending somebody. I guess it's a welfare check.
The dispatcher was very nice. She told me I did the right thing.

Sounds like arguing. I am not straining to hear. The cats even have their ears up.

9. Try knocking on the door again before you call the police.

10. Depends on whether or not this is an area where the police are or are not friendly towards

the community.

Sometimes calling them makes things worse.

If you are the wrong ... ... ...

12. REally? That would be a good sign, actually. Is this big city?

13. It's mid-sized for SC.

These apartments are not expensive and in a very good location.

14. Do you want someone dead?

If so, call the cops.

16. What a stupid response.

I have thought of that and all of the problems. Hopefully, someone with some sense will show up.

[NutmegYankee]

17. Oh FFS, it's a welfare check. nt

[Faux pas]

15. Yep n/t

18. So what was the final outcome?

Inquisitive minds want to know.
