The Interfloor Noise Management Committee is a body that must be established in accordance with the Multi-family Housing Management Act. It consists of members of the residents' representative council or tenants' representative council, members of the election management committee, individuals recommended by organizations that promote community life, the head of the management office, and relevant experts recognized by the management regulations or the head of the local government.

Committee members are required to complete at least four hours of "Interfloor Noise Prevention and Dispute Mediation Training" annually at an educational institution designated by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. Through this training, members learn about dispute cases, mediation procedures, and operational practices, and, as resident representatives and experts, perform roles such as ▲receiving and verifying complaints ▲mediation and dispute resolution ▲prevention promotion and education.

In response to increasingly severe conflicts over interfloor noise, Korea Land & Housing Corporation (LH) announced that it will apply "Grade 1 Interfloor Noise Prevention Technology" to all public housing projects designed from the second half of this year. This demonstrates that interfloor noise has become a social issue that requires a national response, rather than being merely a personal inconvenience.

Accordingly, Hanam City also plans to continue providing guidance and promotional activities to ensure that the committees in each multi-family housing complex operate smoothly.

An official from Hanam City stated, "We hope that the Interfloor Noise Management Committee will become an institutional mechanism that enables residents to prevent and mediate conflicts on their own," adding, "We will continue our active promotional efforts to ensure that all residents enjoy a comfortable and safe living environment."
