    I should add that the notes were very carefully worded and took me a few days to think about. The key was to unambigiuously address the adverse effects of the noise, not to criticise the people making the noise. I didn't want any reason for them to take offense and to say “screw you, I'll do what I like” but rather to say “oh, I never realized I was doing that, how terrible”.

    Sounds a good approach.  Would it be possible to post version one of the notes here (minus names/places etc of course)?   I think it's a tricky exercise but can see the merits.  I'm quite sure our noisy neighbour is not realising the problems he is causing others.
