I've just spoken to them about it and now feel quite bad and not sure if I should have said anything. I live in a small block of flats and share the floor with one other flat, a family with three young children. All the doors in all four flats are fire doors but not the slow-closing ones and they slam closed if allowed to shut by themselves, especially if the window on the shared landing is open as the draught pushes them shut with a slam.
I try to close doors quietly but sometimes it's impossible if I'm carrying something (normally 13 month old dd and bags) so I'm definitely guilty of causing the noise sometimes myself, especially on the mornings I work, very early, which I feel guilty about but I don't have enough hands to stop it.
The family next door are constantly running in and out of the flat and the door slams very frequently, which although is loud is definitely bearable during the day. After dd has gone to bed between 7/8pm however it really gets on my nerves - the slams are extremely loud and unfortunately their front door is right on the other side of the wall where dd sleeps. Tonight I think they've been bringing shopping in and there were about ten loud slams (loud enough to shake the room) in the space of about three minutes which woke up dd who had just gone to sleep.
I stuck my head out and very politely and apologetically asked if they could try to not slam as much, even though I appreciate it's difficult not to and that I know I do it sometimes myself too. They said ok but now I'm regretting it a bit - I've always got on really well with them and the children are lovely. Realistically they're probably not going to stop because they're kids and they won't remember. I shouldn't have said anything if there was no likelihood of it stopping should I? I feel like maybe I've made things awkward now for no reason. WIBU?
