I feel your pain or rather I felt your pain. I actually think we're likely in the same neighborhood. We had a combination of the night noise as well as ongoing day noise from different things...loud tv, and phone conversations, etc. We were unable to enjoy any peaceful time anymore on the lanai and agonized over what to do. As it was a renter, I decided to call the landlord. The matter was immediately resolved but in hindsight I wish I had just talked to our neighbor. They were upset that we didn't just come directly to them. I think because we are very quiet people perhaps they didn't realize just how much sound travels and how loud they were because maybe they didn't hear us. As I stated, problem solved but my recommendation is to just go knock on their door with maybe a bottle of wine or a potted plant and tell them what the situation is. It just may solve the problem and keep things civil. If it doesn't then weigh your options. Good luck.
