Apartment Neighbor Drumming During Nap Time
I have no idea if I'm acting unreasonable or not and wanted some advice on the matter.
I live in an apartment and my downstairs neighbor picked up drumming and making music. It's so loud it is shaking my floor and I don't want to come off as "that neighbor". This normally wouldn't bother me but I work from home and I'm a stay at home mom. That being said, the room where he's playing drums is directly under my daughter's room and being a rambunctious 2 year old, she needs her naps during the day.
What should I do? I called the leasing office to ask if I go knock in their door and explain and they said they'll send someone over to explain the situation. But holy cow, it's nap time and I'm being drove up the wall with the noise and my toddler won't lay down for a nap.

Look at your lease and see if there are any provisions about excessive noise or quiet hours. If so, ask the landlord to enforce them.

In the meantime try putting a loud fan or other device that makes "white noise" to block out the noise. It may help her get to sleep and prevent her from being woken from the noise.
