I am guessing there is some kind of issue with the kid? As much as this is likely not the answer you are looking for there really is probably not too much to be done beyond asking them to try and work out a way for it to be quieter. I would be super nice and polite because in practical terms this is going to end up being more your problem than theirs. The screaming could be a noise complaint but people moving around in their flats is unlikely to be treated as such even if it is running and jumping. There was a long running feud in my last building where one guy worked a weird late shift that had him getting home in the wee hours of the morning and his dog would run around to great him as dogs do and it drove his downstairs neighbor crazy. The downstairs neighbor made a noise complaint and the response was basically that the dog could run around in its own flat and if the noise transferred to the flat below that was an issue with the building not the dog and there was nothing to be done.
I assume you live in a tenement? They are notoriously noisy for neighbor noise and is honestly something one needs to consider when choosing to live in one. You could see if they would be into the idea of soundproofing and you could maybe chip in to the cost if you both own. |
