I am the property manager for a condo in Los Angeles.
(I manage a single unit, not the entire building.)
The condo is occupied by a tenant, who usually wakes up around 6am.

The master bedroom has a closet with sliding doors & built-in drawers/shelving.
It's a regular closet (not a walk-in closet).

The Downstairs Neighbor complains that the closet Doors & Drawers make noise when they are opened and closed -- from 6am onwards.
I've already replaced the closet door tracks and rollers once, but the neighbor says he still cannot get a decent night's sleep.

In order to reduce this noise, the neighbor wants me to "install a layer of insulation cork below the [closet door] tracks" and "at the base of the built-in cabinets inside the closet." The cost would be $590.

Please advise.
