The Noise Upstairs
Updated at Apr 20, 2026, 11:27
In the dead silence of midnight, final-year engineering student Teni is cramming for her most important exam when a strange noise begins above her ceiling — a deliberate *thud… scrape… thud*, keeping perfect time. At first, she blames the old building. But when the rhythm answers her knocks, follows her around the apartment, and continues even after she learns the flat upstairs has been empty for weeks, fear takes hold. As the sounds grow bolder — moving from ceiling to floor to walls, calling her name in the dark — Teni realizes something is listening. Something that has been waiting. Trapped between her future and an unseen presence that refuses to let her leave, Teni must decide how far she’ll go to make the noise stop… or whether she’ll finally stay. A chilling, slow-burn horror tale of isolation, dread, and the terrifying price of perfect silence.
