Manchester City Council

Many noise problems, particularly those involving neighbours, can be resolved informally, for example, by explaining to your neighbours the difficulties they are causing.

Approach your neighbour and explain politely that you are being troubled by noise. You may find this difficult, but often people are unaware that they are causing a problem. 

However, approach the matter carefully if you think your neighbour might react angrily to a complaint. If this approach fails the Council may be able to help.
