Noisy neighbors are a common problem in a society where many people live closely together．And this can be most important when you share walls，floors or ceilings with neighbors in a fat．A noisy neighbor can make life challenging，especially if noise goes well into night，or happens during early morning hours．This situation needs to be dealt with properly，which requires your ability to keep calm．

    You should first try to tell your noisy neighbors about the noise． This conversation should be polite， even friendly． It can begin with a statement like．"I am not sure you are aware"．Explain the problem in an honest way，and ask the neighbor to turn down the music，or not to hold parties until 3 a．m． You can also add that you realize they hear your noise too， and you are certainly willing to try to stop anything in your behavior that is creating extra noise．

    You should know that not all neighbors are going to follow your requirement， and some may act in a bad manner． If the noisy neighbors don't change their behavior， the next step should be to write the neighbors a letter． The letter should show your grievances （不满） and the dates when the noise was quite terrible． For example， if your neighbor has loud gatherings every Friday night that last into the early morning then write down those dates．

    When the noise remains going on， you should report it to local authorities （权力部门），or even the police department， when it is really necessary． Often， however， the problem is solved when the noisy neighbor knows you are going to call the police．

    Do be aware that you cannot always require noisy neighbors to be quiet． When the noise remains going on， it is wise not to deal with it in an angry or retaliatory （报复性的） fashion． If you have completed the steps and letter， don't start hitting walls or moors around in your home or turning up the music to make your neighbors angry． Just have patience and remember that communication is the most important．
