Weekend Band Practice

The situation

You share a house with two flatmates. One of them has started rehearsing with their band in the garage every Sunday morning, and the drums make it impossible for you to study or sleep in. You get along well and do not want to upset them. Speak to your flatmate: explain how the noise affects you and suggest a compromise.

Model answer

Hey, have you got a sec? I wanted to chat about the band practice on Sunday mornings. I think it's great that you're playing again, honestly, but the drums come straight through my bedroom wall, and Sunday is really the only morning I can catch up on sleep and study. Would you be open to moving rehearsals to Saturday afternoons, or starting after midday on Sundays? I'd also be happy to help put some rugs or foam in the garage to soften the sound. Let me know what works for the others. Cheers.
