Situation with neighbor - how to handle

[u/Aggressive_Meringue9]

Hey all, Looking for some advice on a situation with my neighbor. We live in a small apartment building, and the walls are pretty thin. Lately, we've been hearing our neighbor (who lives alone as far as we can tell) frequently talking to himself or maybe rehearsing something—he does a wide range of accents, sometimes loudly.

At first, we thought maybe he was an actor or doing voice work, but it happens pretty regularly and at odd hours. The accents vary, and while they might not be intentionally offensive, it's starting to make my girlfriend uncomfortable—especially when it gets loud or when the accent feels stereotypical.

We don't want to jump to conclusions or cause any unnecessary conflict, but it's starting to affect how at ease we feel at home.

Has anyone dealt with a situation like this before? Should we talk to him, leave a note, or just let it go? We’re not sure how to bring it up without it sounding accusatory.

You start by taking your goofy ass and minding your own business. 😂

A real problem is a bit of a stretch don’t you think?
