My favorite complaint ever from a downstairs neighbor was when they complained that I was "vacuuming too loud" in the middle of the afternoon. Apparently I was disturbing the toddlers' nap time. Granted, I could see how an upstairs neighbor vacuuming could disturb naps, but if they'd come to me and said "Hey, the twins nap around 1PM every day and stay asleep for about 90 minutes, is there any way you could avoid noisy housework during that time?" I'd have been more than willing to comply. As it was, I told the landlord that unless they could come up with some law that said I couldn't clean my apartment in the middle of the day, I had no interest in rearranging my schedule, and I would vacuum whenever I had the time after 6AM and before 10PM (the times in which there were noise ordinances.)

When we were the upstairs neighbors, we had overly sensitive neighbors. Anytime during the day that the kids thumped, we could hear a broom against the ceiling downstairs. They also complained to housing management that our kids were running around "at all hours of the night," when our kids went to bed at 7:30pm.
