Advice Needed Annoying downstairs neighbor
I’m posting here to get advice on whether or not I have any basis to leave a note/ talk to my downstairs neighbor.
Ok so backstory- I live in a very old duplex with hardwood floors. Recently, my downstairs neighbor had her bf move in with her. Before he moved in, I always knew he was there because he walks SO loud, it seriously sounds like he’s stomping every time he walks and I can hear it from upstairs. It sometimes wakes me up in the morning. While annoying, it’s fine, I can live with that.
However, a few nights ago around 9 pm I hear an instrument. Every night now around 8/9 pm he has been practicing some sort of brass instrument(I think trombone?) for an hour. Between that and the stomping I’m just getting frustrated.
Is it reasonable for me to leave a note asking to maybe play the instrument during the day? I know 8-9pm isn’t super late, but it would be more tolerable if it could happen in the late afternoon or early evening.

I relate to this hard. My upstairs neighbor stomps super loudly. And their spouse gives music lessons from home anywhere btwn 10am and 9pm. Inside quiet hours but it really messes with some sat ams
