We had one in the first building I lived in the UK, it was handy for gossip lol (“what was that screaming last night on the top floor?”). The address was posted on the entrance hall cork board. Ever since I moved from there, I wished that my subsequent buildings/neighbourhoods also had one, but even if one exists, it’s deathly silent for months at a time :/
The screaming reminded me of one time I was walking my dog around the apartment complex at like 10pm. As I walked by the one building I heard some woman scream from the third floor “oh yeah fuck my pussy papi” at the top of her lungs. I have no idea who screamed or who lived there but I guess she was having a good time.
I tried for a few months (invited a bunch of neighbours who didn’t know the group existed and so tripled its size), but people are extremely passive and unengaged. I don’t want 80% of group activity to be me 😅
Tbh I was conservative with that 80%. I’m a very private and introverted person, being the social butterfly of a group is just exhausting, esp. when there’s clearly no interest from others 🤷

Sadly the screaming in our case was apparently attempted rape during a party 😬
Be the change you want.

It’s not ideal, but it still means that 20% is from others, which is more than you would have had before.
I’ve helped found a couple of different types of groups now. It’s not easy, but often worth the effort.
