In order to increase the heat delivery pressure, the defendant installed the booster pump outside the west wall of plaintiff’s residence lateral. In 2014, the plaintiff thought that the booster pump had influenced the rest and appealed to the court, and then the two sides reached a peace appointment, so the plaintiff withdrew its prosecution. Later, the defendant removed the booster pump to the west side of the heat transfer station outside the west wall of the plaintiff’s house. And then the plaintiff appealed to the court again for the booster pump affenting sleep, who thought the noise level must be the zero level.

The case was brought by the Bengbu Yuhui District People's Court.
