  • You want something to happen - silence
  • You are aware of how it can happen - something in someone's ears
  • You have the power to make it happen - earphones and earplugs are incredibly cheap
  • You instead want someone else to do something about it - him not you.

You are 2026

    Has it occurred to you I don't live alone and would like to hear my partner? Or should I adjust all the time to someone else's whims when they could reduce their noise towards all inhabitants of the building?

    Has it occurred to you

    Would you be offended if I said absolutely not?

    Go buy some soundproofing off AliExpress and/or go find something you enjoy doing without the expectation that those around you think you're good at it.

    Imagine saying this, totally unaware of how you sound moaning about other people having hobbies.

    Imagine pulling a strawman out of your ass while disregarding what I said. I didn't say the kid should stop playing instruments. I said get him some headphones so that all the noise is contained to his ears. Or rent/buy him a place to practice. If you live in a building, you have a certain responsibility towards the rest of the inhabitants that share the living space with you.
