Guys, I don't think this is a bug. I think it's just a poor feature. I found a pattern when reading through all the replies here and decided to test it in my game.
Your relationships are decaying in the household if someone in the apartment is being loud and ignores the door when a neighbor comes banging on it. If you answer the door and listen to the neighbor's complaint the relationships in the household do not drop.
I think because if you're being loud and don't answer the door to an angry neighbor everyone gets mad and there's a hit in the relationships. I do believe it's too large of a drop. Dropping a third of the way each time is a pain, especially when you have more than two sims in the household. I feel like a negative moodlet is more appropriate. An embarrassed moodlet would be perfect. If someone I lived with was being loud and didn't answer the door to an angry neighbor I would be embarrassed. Or maybe I would be mad at the person I lived with, so even an angry moodlet would be good. But a drop in relationship seems over the top, especially a drop that big.
If this isn't happening the same for you as it is for me feel free to say so, but definitely test this for yourself first to see if this is a consistent pattern among everyone's games.
That would make sense, sadly the flipping neighbours were knocking telling them to keep it down and they were all asleep, no electronics on, and it's happened at least 4 times so far. But I guess that's another bug 😀

It is something different.
Please start a new thread for that.

Definitely a bug, I have it, too. If they don't answer the neighbor's complaint, all household members take a severe relationship hit. If they do answer
it, the family still takes a hit but not as severe. For awhile I could not figure out why my two young adult sims hated their kid sister, and then I noticed that every time a neighbor complains about noise they take a huge relationship hit with the young sister for some reason. This is an especially serious bug because Neighbors will complain about noise when any little thing is going on in the apartment after 10 pm or so, even non-noisey things like painting or having a conversation. This really needs to be fixed. Right now my only work around is to cheat my Sims' relationships back to where they should be, but I would really appreciate not having to resort to that .
Please fix this bug Maxis team!
