A Quiet Evening at Maple Court

You live in Maple Court, an apartment building in Kingston, Ontario. Your neighbour, Nadia, has started practising the drums in the evening. The sound reaches your apartment and makes it difficult for your young nephew to sleep when he stays with you. Nadia says evenings are her only free time and she has an important community concert next month. You want to keep a friendly relationship with her, but the noise cannot continue at its current level.
