DD4 is 21 and at uni, in her second year. She's living with three others in a house not too far from the uni. She gets on well with all of them, but has an issue with one- he spends all day talking really loudly on his phone to another friend (shouting), and the house is tiny with thin walls, so DD is always able to hear, even with her headphones in. The other flatmate has commented on it, and the fourth is a medic student who is usually at uni during the day, or with his partner.
DD went downstairs to ask Flatmate to be quiet, and just got told "it's 3pm, go to the library if you want to work," so is a bit upset, particularly after having helped him with something this morning. She and the other flatmates have commented on the noise before, but it hasn't stopped- the neighbours have also come over and said they can hear this boy talking loudly through the walls and been woken up by him coming back on nights out, etc.
Does anyone have any advice? DD4 has anxiety and is struggling with her physical health currently, and is finding this quite upsetting, as well as distracting her from working. She does use the library a lot, but it's busy and big and she likes being able to work in her bedroom, given she pays rent and has every right. She doesn't ring me often at uni, but has just rung me sounding very down. The same flatmate has also made some unkind comments about DD's boyfriend- and complains if he is woken up at about 11am by anyone! She has to stay until July, but is starting to quietly ask around now for anyone also planning to move into a new house for third year- the current house agreed to decide at Christmas if they were going to stay on.
