First off, it's never really enjoyable to get whistled at. It's almost always used as a derogatory means of grabbing one's attention. So when this air vent went and got itself broken, it was OP/admirable apartment tenant who felt the pain as was suddenly constantly whistled at by the air vents in his apartment. The next logical step would be to call in maintenance to handle the problem, right? Wrong. Maintenance  came, saw, confirmed the problem and promptly left. Hashtag not my job. Hashtag lazy.

    Smile - 4 Posted by u/dangerousknight234 5 days ago 3 I contacted my building's maintenance company because one of the air vents in my apartment is constantly whistling. They came in while I was at work and all they did was leave this note. They didn't fix anything and the whistling continues. 3048

    Font - Ticklepanda · 4d S 1 Award %3D person thought since it's coming from a fresh air vent that the noise source is outside and not from the vent The most charitable thing I can think of is that the itself.

    Font - Bigcork-twobawz · 4d Take a pair of needle nose pliers and "readjust" the fins on the vent register. Do it just a little at a time until it quits. I've had to do this many times. A G G Reply 1 314 3

    Rectangle - WreckedEmRanger · 4d Open the vent. It's pinched off causing the air to come through at a higher velocity, creating the noise

    Font - wildmonster91 · 4d Of all the apartments ive lived in. Has been good enough that i didn't have to go in and fix it myself. From sealing holes to prevent rodent entry to pulling apart a fridge to show property management the things broken. You may need to do the same.
