Advice: Loud music

Q. One of my flatmates plays really loud music all through the day and then into the early morning. It’s really annoying when I am trying to sleep or do work. It’s fun when we are predrinking to have music but when people are trying to do work it can be frustrating. I have tried to ask politely for him to turn the music down but he does for about ten minutes then blasts it out again. Help!

A. Some people seem to enjoy having their music on all the time. Try again to compromise with him, ask him if he could have his music off by a certain time. If the problem continues then you can go and talk to the accommodation staff. If you get on well with your flatmates then maybe have a chat with everyone and ask if it bothers them as well.
