Prepare a conversation
Would you rather talk it through first? This document helps you prepare a calm conversation with your neighbours: how to start, what to ask and how to respond if it gets difficult.
Pick a calm moment
Not in the middle of the noise, but when you both have time.
Speak for yourself
Say what you notice and how it affects you, without blame.
Give it time
Let the conversation sink in before raising it again.
