Hee. Sorry about that, Kat. Fortunately for us this is an all-hockey household, including the roommate/intern. Otherwise I could see someone not loving the four hours of radio commentary this morning, followed by three successive games.
The good news is that the games will be fewer. The bad news is the watching thereof will be inversely more intense. (Go Hawks!)
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Do people here ever have to complain because someone in your building is talking loud at night when you're trying to sleep?
God, the acoustics in this building suck.
eta: I've never been able to sleep if I can hear any music or voices at all. Am I just too sensitive?

I recommend trying earplugs, tommyrot. I am not a fan of sleeping with earplugs in, but they do keep down the noise.
Kat, those stroller liners are super cute.

Yeah, I've been using them quite a lot since the people moved in above me at the beginning of the month. Haven't used earplugs this much since I was in the dorms in college.

I can't be sure, but the guy above me might be talking in his normal tone of voice. So I'd feel kinda' weird saying, "Could you please talk more quietly after 10:00 PM?"

tommy, the silicone earplugs work well for me. I've used them for years and swear by them.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Tommy, do you have a white noise machine or a fan that you can run to drown out the noise?

Tommy, the ceilings/floors in my building are very thin, and ever since the people upstairs moved in (the previous people were fine) about six months ago, I've been driven NUTS. One of the many reasons I'm excited to be moving out. But in my case, while I can sometimes hear them when they're talking loudly (arguing/yelling), it's more the walking, moving closet doors along the track, getting in and out of bed, dropping shoes, rolling chair around, etc etc. ...not a lot to be done, though. Ask for more carpets, perhaps.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Tommy, do you have a white noise machine or a fan that you can run to drown out the noise?
Or an air purifier.
