We nicely asked them if they could turn it down or get cordless headphones, whatever, so we could all enjoy our lanai's. I never heard the television after that, and thought the problem was solved.

Lo and behold, the snowbird neighbors have just arrived back, and sure enough, they turned on the television on their lanai very loud this afternoon. Our bedroom is right back there, and my husband was taking his afternoon nap, or should I say, tried to nap. The television kept him awake. We already spoke to them once. I mean, the houses are so close, it seems incredibly rude to me that people do that sort of thing. Anyone have any suggestions?

Invite them over to hear for themselves what the din of their television sounds like in your home. Hopefully they'll see your point and maybe you make a couple of new friends.
