My neighbor blasts his music, how can I ask him to keep it down without escalating the situation?
user
To ask your neighbor to keep the music down without escalating the situation, you could start by having a civil conversation with them about their music being too loud. You could mention how it's difficult for you to enjoy your own leisure time due to the noise from their side and kindly request them to keep the volume down. Additionally, you could offer some solutions that would help solve the issue, such as getting soundproofing materials or offering headphones. Trying to reach an understanding that is agreeable for both parties should help create a better environment for neighbors sharing a wall.

Starting off friendly, you could say something like “Hey, could you keep the music down? I'm trying to take a nap/the baby is sleeping/it's past midnight.” If that doesn't work, then you could try going directly to your landlord or the local police department for assistance. Additionally, you can purchase noise cancelling headphones which will help block out the sound from your neighbor’s side.
