You can try talking to your neighbor directly and politely requesting that they turn down the volume. If that fails, you could consider noise cancellation headphones or a sound machine to reduce the noise in your own environment. Alternatively, you may want to try using a white noise machine or instrument to counteract the sound from your neighbor's music. You can also report loud noises to authorities if it continues for an extended period of time.

One possible tactic is to start a conversation with your neighbor about the noise he’s making. If you’re too timid to approach him directly, you can try sending him a note expressing your disappointment that he wouldn't be able to appreciate his music without bothering the people around him. Alternatively, if the situation is severe enough and noise complaints haven't worked, you could try talking to a local law official about filing a noise ordinance violation against your neighbor. Other strategies could include investing in soundproof materials and utilizing white-noise machines or fans in order to reduce environmental stimulation. Additionally, considering playing some louder sound on purpose with the intent of drowning out any offending noises - although this strategy may cause more strife than resolution!
