I've got a moderately noisy one upstairs (it tends to be every couple of weekends but starts at something like 6am on Sunday, just when you want to be able to enjoy a lie-in) and have had some really ghastly noise-monsters living in the adjacent flats here down the years.
Yep, it does seem to be a generational thing, the tenants of my age and above are much more aware both of their noisiness and of other simple social things like mucking in over keeping the share areas clean and the building secure. The Thatcherism legacy explanation works only too well, from my experience of the spoilt brats in question.
One of the loudest people in the building, til he died at the start of the year, was the deaf old bloke in the downstairs flat who had the telly up loud enough to hear. But at least with people like that you don't feel it's done out of selfishness or malice.
