Dear [next-door neighbors],

I realize that you all go to sleep quite late, but the quiet hours begin at 11pm on week nights and 1am on week days. I try to get into my [job] early in the morning which means that I often go to bed at 11pm. Although you are quite courteous about becoming quiet after I call you, I shouldn’t need to call you to ask you to be quiet with this frequency. Often I call after you have awakened me. I would greatly appreciate it if you would refrain from the following activities during quiet hours; yelling, especially yelling “fuck” repeatedly and loudly, singing loudly, rythmically tapping/kicking my wall and playing music. These are all activities that have happened within the last hour. I am not the only one who is bothered by your noise. I am only the most vocal.

If at any point I am disturbing you with my noise then please let me know.

Sincerely,

[Tutor]
