hick

i would suggest that next time you hear the noise you pop upstairs sharpish and ask what they have done over the last few seconds up to the last 10 mins  or what may be operating like central heating 'washing machine 'cooker 'dishwasher

you can of course narrow this down to the area below where you get the noise but don't rule out other equipment or actions as they may be connected[via pipework for example or just manifesting its self in the one area although remote]


ooo and dont rule out noisy doors

and deffinatly dont assume its dripping just because it sounds like it

well it does sound like his hot water pipe expanding or even possibly the drain!!!

if you can gain accsess try sprinkling talk where ever the hot or drain pipe touch any thing else especialy joists or floorboards

Is there anything that they could do so that I don't hear the dripping sound - getting really fed up hearing it at 6.20am every morning

Mine first port of call would be the soil pipes is touching something where it exits the flat above and runs through your flat to the drain.

Of course the stack could be outside and we will have to rethink, but my money is on the waste expanding when he pulls the plug.
