Catch them in early evening not mid-party, and lead with an I-statement: “I’m up at 6 on weekdays - could we keep it down after 10? I’ll text if it carries through; feel free to ping me too.” If they’re willing, suggest easy fixes like turning down the bass and moving speakers off the shared wall. If that doesn’t stick, leave a short note confirming the quiet hours you agreed on, use earplugs or a white-noise app, shift your bed away from the shared wall, add a towel or draft stopper at the door, and keep a simple dated log before looping in the landlord.
