They probably don't know they are being so loud. Just talk to them and ask them to keep it down. Christian music or not, they should respect your ears

I used to live in the downstairs apartment, and one time there was a neighbor who lived above me. We called her "Grasshopper". It was really interesting, as the tenants before her, we never heard. The tenants on either side of her we never heard. Only her and her boyfriend. We heard them when they climbed the steps from outside up to the top floor and across to her apartment. Those two had a heavy step that we heard when every they were home. At least they went to bed at a decent hour. I did move, but not because of them.

As to your problem, first pray, then go and speak to them; introduce yourself, and explain that you live downstairs and hear everything. Perhaps it is not your style of worship or prayertime. However, noise is noise, and can be annoying. I hope your neighbors will understand, and turn their music down and keep their pray group more quiet. Perhaps, you may be invited to join them, and then it could not be annoying to you down stairs since you would be upstairs. Just a thought.

Shell, don't be afraid to call the police. People have to learn to have respect for others. You have a baby coming home that is going to need rest and so will you. Just do it for both you and Sami. hugs...........

I almost forgot to tell you of our experience in our first apartment right after Steve and I were married before we built our home where we live now. The lady that lived above us...( right above us) had a habit of playing her big Hammond organ late at night. II mean this thing was built for a church, I know my dad use to have one. Can you imagine at midnight. your asleep ( we both had to work in the morning) and this woman starting to play that thing with those huge peddles. I mean right above us. The windows would rattle. One night I had had enough so I got up and walked up the flight of stairs to ask her to stop. It was me in my pj's or my husband who wore nothing to bed. Anyway this woman met me at ther door at midnight wearing a strapless dress and a big red sun hat. She couldn't figure out what my problem was, I told her she was disturbing our sleep and we had to work in ther morning. She said she would turn it down I said to turn it off. I think I ended up calling the police and she was not a happy camper. she said I should call my husband to trll her and not me. That brought a chuckle to me but I didn't follow through. Hey just do it, You have right's too.

The guy above us plays his music really loud pretty much whenever he's home...but he makes sure to turn it off before 11 and keep it off until noon. I figure our TV probably sounds loud to him (it's a very small place, not originally intended to be an apartment, so there isn't the benefit of a concrete slab or anything like that between us), so unless I have a headache or I'm sick, I let him play it...when I do ask him to turn it down, he's quick to do so.

Basically, we have a nice understanding.
