Noise Level of SN?

[raybd]

Does anyone know how much noise SN causes in the last minutes?
I never really looked into it, but it's become a thing.
I have someone who sublets a part of my rental. I can't easy get rid of this person. If I have to KTB when this person is around... don't want anyone to be wiser until I am all gone. I originally wanted to KTB this night. But cursed luck got a pretty bad back spasm that's killed half a day. Now looking at daytime tomorrow, when this person might be around, may be even watching TV right next to my bedroom.

Sounds risky to me. It could go south and make future attempts much more difficult. I think the recommendation for SN is to have 3 or 4 hours for the process just to be sure you ctb. I wouldn't do it if you don't have enough time alone. I've read a lot of posts where someone's attempt to ctb failed because they were found.

I'm also not sure I could screw up a person that knows they were just feet from someone that poisoned themselves.

This I am not concerned about, as the person has no connection with me excepting the sublet. Should be easy enough to walk away from it. Also, my reason is health. So, cannot think about the world beyond a point. I have managed to fight it for years now, but, this time it's gone far enough.

Omg, that's a long time.
Idk, I'd be too scared to risk it.

May be I should add this. The sublet's bedroom is one floor above, not connected to my bedroom where I have the SN. Night time, I should have 4-5 hours easy. Didn't worry about noise and such. But, the sudden back spasm has affected my timeline pushing me think of daytime Friday. I really want to be gone before Friday afternoon for certain reasons. So, every chance this person might be 1 or 2 rooms down during daytime. Would ignore small noises I think. Will take something really loud for this person to knock on my door. So, what is the average noise level for SN?

You can guess from this video if you really want to.

Didnt know of the site. Watched the couple they had. Couldnt tell really. The first guy was violet at the death-rattle time. but they muted the audio. the second went off screen i suppose. for daytime, i can't have noise... not beyond the hum of a fridge or something. any serious noise, particularly several minutes would alert the subletting person.

In my opinion the best time is at night
And if you have benzos or muscle relaxers the body will shake less, producing less nosie. Only the breathing might cause some noise, it is said that is similar to snoring.

If I could wait until I am sure it will work -I would wait. In the meantime, I would just watch movies all day or play games.

Tonight, Thursday was my main plan. Then, last evening I had a back spasm that's knocked off like 12-14 hours. At night, once my sublet's retired for the day, I have the whole floor to myself. I really don't want to wait till Friday night for certain reasons. Now worried about noise during the day.

If you are alone during the day, you will have no issues.
Just remember the fasting.
Good luck!

Sublet is around during the day... going about business... and there is no way I can make it tonight. I have something important - 5-6 hours work to take care of before I start the SN procedure. But the back spasm cut in, disoriented everything and now, looking messy. Been on liquids for over 12h now, technically fasting... but, know I won't get to it tonight... got to return to some kind of normal from the spasm, then, start moving on this... god, what a time!

To answer my own question on the noise level, I couldn't clearly establish a "general case" noise level, to determine if it is certain to alarm neighbors. In my case, it is just me and my sublet, to our side of the building. All other neighbors are cut off by walls and such and it will take a loud gunshot or such to draw their attention. Even then, they cannot pinpoint and rush in as the street is fairly well spread. So, just comes down to thinking about my sublet.
Now, since I couldn't determine the precise noise level to expect, I figured I couldn't chance it. The PPHE gives 40 minutes from ingestion to confirmed death. Rounding it to 1 hour, I think, rather than risk noise if there are people who might intervene, an SN exit can only be undertaken if that 1 hour of alone-time is there.
That was my conclusion. Now, trying to figure out the timing again given my predicament of needing to go before Friday afternoon or 12 hours from now and not looking likely.

Can't you play some loud music or have the TV on loud so they'll hear that instead of you if it's during the day?

Good question. No, while that would easily work anywhere else, it would be just as suspicious in my case. Because I am in a eco-retreat (or Ashram) like place. I own no TV and never play music and stream like a couple videos a month, if at all. Pin-drop silence is the norm. And the only TV watching is done by the sublet. That's why it never occurred to me to just drown out the noise with more noise of my own... there is just no background noise or white noise here. 1:45 AM (right now) and 1:45 PM are roughly as quiet....
And before you ask... I do not really carry the many frustrations that people express on this site. My reason to go is purely health and related work stuff being intractable. I waited for years, survived a few close calls but now, the deterioration is sufficient that to wait anymore to go, "for the fates to take me" would not be worth it.
The biggest irony is that, in this country, for people in my circumstances, going is allowed religiously, but, is not allowed by the law. In the US of A, it is the reverse: going is not illegal but most major denominations of Judeo-Christian culture do not approve of it.

I think it may be noisy. Even after losing consciousness I think we can let out these loud sounds... That's why I was thinking when should I do this? What if my downstairs neighbor will get alarmed? Should I do it during the day or night? But I'll barricade the doors that's for sure. Maybe I'll go with the night.

Going by the eye witness accounts and a couple of videos of SN someone here pointed me to today, I would think someone in the next room or 2 rooms down would be alerted at the most. Presuming normal level background noises (mine is a peculiarly quiet area). Unlikely to bother a downstairs neighbor. Even if they hear something, they may not be able to realize what is going on.
