Noisy office neighbour - I'll never last the week

I rent a lovely office in a building. There are 6 offices and we all get on well. There's a shared kitchen, we bring cakes in every now and then, all good.

Someone new has moved in. I know them vaguely but not well.

HE KEEPS SINGING. AND WHISTLING.

What do I do? Suggest some duets? Get a big red chair I can turn round? Ear muffs?

Help! I love my quiet peaceful office.

He's moved onto Bohemian Rhapsody.

I have my office door shut, so does he, I can still hear him through the walls.

I'm going to tell him.

"Hi, Im not sure if youre aware but the walls here are really thin and sound travels loudly between the offices, do you think you could keep the noise down please?"

I’d make some really really odd noises in the hope he might realise you can hear him and quieten down

Did you tell him? Or start singing along? Or what?

If he's singing out loud all the time then he hardly deserves you to be overly nice and worried about asking him to be quiet. I love to sing but fully expect to be told to shut up if I do it in front of others. 😂
