The creaks mean the designers did their jobs, the engineers did their jobs, the builders did their jobs, and the inspectors did their jobs. Tall buildings are meant to sway a little with the wind.

@hughjass1280

I do agree, architects and engineers planned for these exact things. However, most of where skyscrapers fall short is their ability to combat wind. A building that tall should be aerodynamic as to reduce the amount of sway jn general. Buildings that are older than 50 didn’t really plan for all that initially

Yeah, this comment! Also, in Cali, they earthquake proof buildings to collapse in a controlled manner by incorporating "weak" spots into the beams. This makes the building more flexible and thus able to withstand the shakes of the earth. If this wasnt done, the entire building would break in a chaotic manner, resulting in more deaths.

@DaveP-uv1ml

The creaking isn’t normal. They usually are designed to sway and not make much noise. It’s not an indication that there’s a problem. But nothing to worry about, they should notify the maintenance and it’s probably something they could just make an adjustment to something that’s rubbing the wrong way. New York has had a skyline full of high-rises over 100 years. And only two buildings have ever fallen down and that wasn’t from the weather.

Gosh it's scary. How people actually could think up how to build houses so high is still unbelievable today, I think.

This sound is actually what you want to hear, according to a friend of mines dad when we were kids. He was an architect and he talked about how the taller buildings are supposed to have just a little give to them.

This is death at the door. 🚪 ☠️ you start hearing creaks, metal bending, and glass windows shattering trought out the building. The rubble of crushing metals and concrete can be heard from the distance and it’s getting closer, the next 5 seconds it’s you and your floor come crushing down, the piles of ruble all around you comes crushing down on you ripping your legs apart from you, large glass piece’s rips trough your entire right arm…the support pillar starts to move upwards of your abdominal area taking chunks of bone from your ribs, all you have left is your bruised up left arm. You look up towards what’s left of the ceiling and can see a broken pipes teared right trough it …but not for long for as the floor is still crushing on it itself…the pipe starts to near you, you see your reflection from the pipe and unable to do anything about it except ….decide exactly where you’ll let the pipes impale you.

They were like outrageously uncomfortable but we still love them well the substitute took a pencil and he was talking about earthquakes and bad storms and what happens when things that are solid have a ton of pressure put on them... They snap. And then he took the headband and talked about how when there's pressure put on the headband it can wiggle around and it has more flexibility thus not snapping under pressure. He was telling us about how they started designing buildings to sway in the wind and to wiggle during an earthquake. I will never forget that. He was a great sub.

As for the 2021 collaps in Florida, I just read up on it fast, $1.02 billion settlement was approved by Judge Michael Hanzman for victims of the collapse. In the years after the collapse, insurance rates for condominiums in the area increased several-fold. The Florida Legislature passed condo reform legislation in a May 2022 special session as Senate Bill 4-D, addressing issues highlighted in the aftermath of the Surfside collapse.[206] The bill creates a state-wide inspection program for condo buildings taller than three stories.

Coming from an engineer: the bracing is designed for such heights, the wind levels are so high that it's required for it to sway, the building is not 100% stiff. Typically speaking it generally moves about a few mm or about less than a 1/8 of an inch. It allowed the building to absorb the wind shocks. It's all safe if properly maintained :) hence why skyscrapers cost so much in maintenances to HOA fees. Edit: it may create discomfort to some people, sometimes headaches. But it's a case by case.

In my early 20s I lived in Bow, London in a 21-floor block of flats on the 8th floor with my sister and 2 of her university friends. The top floors were rented out to nurses and trainee doctors because they needed cheap accommodation and nobody else would live there. I had several friends who lived on the top floor and the flat would sway even in a light breeze, and the pictures would bang on their walls (which I found very irritating). When there was a storm or high winds they would come down to our floor just to be able to sleep. Plus, despite the Council saying it was perfectly safe, it didn't feel it when walking across the room was like a ride at a funfair!

That would be an insane amount of force pushing on the building. It has to give and sway.
