| Subject: | Noise complaint – upstairs neighbours (Apt 3B) |
Dear Mr. Davies,
I hope you are doing well. I am writing to bring to your attention an ongoing noise issue with the tenants in apartment 3B, directly above mine. The situation is making it impossible for me to sleep or focus on my work.
Every night for the past two weeks, these tenants play extremely loud music with heavy bass from approximately 11pm until 1am or even later. The noise travels so clearly through the ceiling that I can actually identify individual songs. I have tried using earplugs and a white noise machine, but nothing blocks out the bass vibrations.
Regarding my attempts to resolve this amicably, I have knocked on their door twice – once on Monday evening and again on Wednesday evening. Both times, they simply turned the music up louder and refused to answer. I do not wish to involve the police unless absolutely necessary, as I prefer to keep things civil.
Would you please speak to them as their landlord and remind them of the quiet hours stated in the tenancy agreement? I would be very grateful if you could send them a written warning. I am available to discuss this further whenever convenient for you.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best regards,
Michael Wong
