Your neighbours have recently written to you to complain about the noise from your house flat.
Write a letter to your neighbours. In your letter
explain the reasons for the noise,
apologize
describe what action you will take.
Sample answer
I hope this letter finds you well. I sincerely apologize for the recent noise disturbances coming from my flat, and I appreciate your patience and understanding.
The noise was primarily due to some unexpected repairs and renovations I had to carry out. Unfortunately, there were issues with the flooring and plumbing that required immediate attention. Additionally, last week, I hosted a small family gathering for a birthday, which I now realize might have caused more disturbance than intended.
I completely understand how disruptive this must have been for you and truly regret the inconvenience caused. Please know that I am taking immediate steps to ensure this doesn’t happen again. The repair work has now been completed, and I will make sure that any future work is scheduled during reasonable hours. Additionally, I will ensure that social gatherings are kept quieter and end earlier in the evening.
Once again, I am truly sorry for the disturbance and appreciate your understanding. Please feel free to let me know if there’s anything more I can do to make amends.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
