New neighbours

We have new neighbours, moved in two weeks ago. I put a card through the door to welcome them and put my number in it to introduce ourselves. The woman texted to say thank you for the card which was lovely. We never heard our old neighbours (we're semi detached with the halls and stairs adjoining) however we now hear the new neighbours going up and down the stairs very loudly, they must be pretty heavy footed. They also have two young children who I think run up and down them fairly often. They seem a lovely family :) just wondering would you mention it or just leave it and put up with it? It really is loud and can be heard over us having the TV on in the evening. Just so odd to me we never heard our old neighbours at all through the wall and they were a young family too...

Might they have removed the carpet from the stairs?

Id have a chat with them - ask them if any of your noise bothers them etc which will hopefully inspire them to ask if any of their noise bothers you.

I wouldn't mention it. Hearing people walk up & down the stairs isn't worth souring the relationship with your new neighbours over. It's just part of having neighbours.

Our ndn asked us of my dd's dps tap dancing.... We had no idea they could hear us on the stairs.. Worth a mention imo.
Another neighbour came and said they could see us using the loo!! Even with frosted glass!
