Living in an apartment has a big issue. They aren't soundproof, so noise from one carries to the other. This is true in real life as well as in media. And in both, a common way to deal with this is to bang on the wall/floor/ceiling, depending on the direction of the noise, in the hopes that this will quiet the offending noise. And in both, this rarely works, and may even encourage the neighbors. One of the most commonly portrayed versions of this is an old person banging on the ceiling with a broom. Compare Big "Shut Up!", Not to be confused with the Darth Wiki page Wall Banger.

If the setting is a dormitory (again both in fiction and out), expect this to be turned Up to Eleven, since: 1. * young and frequently inebriated college students are hardly known for their ability to remain quiet and 2. * dorms tend to have even thinner walls and even more people in the same amount of space than an apartment building. Right Through the Wall may induce this due to people being entirely too loud about their... business. Compare Big "Shut Up!", Not to be confused with the Darth Wiki page Wall Banger.
