My roommate is always playing his music loudly, even when I'm trying to sleep. How can I effectively communicate my dissatisfaction with my roommate through minor physical actions like pushing?

You can express your dissatisfaction with minor physical actions, like if your roommate is playing the music too loudly you could slowly push the volume buttons down to lower the sound. You can also start by talking with them politely about what is acceptable noise level and give them some reasonable time frames when they should turn down or mute their music. If your roommate continues playing the music loud after you have expressed your displeasure then it might be necessary to ask a mutual friend to speak with them in order to remind them of their shared responsibility for a healthy living space.

By subtly pushing his belongings when he is not around or making slightly louder noises when he is playing his music, you can indirectly communicate to your roommate that you want him to lower the volume.
