AIBU to address noise with neighbours?

I live in a top floor flat, there are only two other flats beneath me in a block of six - if that makes sense.
The neighbours directly below me are quite noisy. I hear thumping and banging, crying, screaming (young children probably pre-school). It's only during the day mostly - if the children are sick we hear it and don't sleep. Its not the family's fault - the flats we live have not been built well I don't think. And they seem like a lovely family - they seem to put their children to bed at a good hour and always sound as if they are having fun etc. They do however at times sound as if they allow the children to literally jump off furniture. They also have hard wood floor even though our service agreement states no one can have it. I will add they are below me and I really wasn't thinking I would get this level of noise from below! (clearly naive)
Anyway - my daughter is going through her GCSE's over the next month and a half. She is trying to study in her room and can't concentrate because of the noise. So...... I sent an email requesting that noise be kept to a minimum during this period of time but now I am having second thoughts as addressed it and sent it to everyone in the block. I did attempt to knock on the door to talk to the family but they didn't answer (this is not the first time I have been ignored in this way).
AIBU to have sent this and to have requested this from neighbours?

OP, we've removed the identifying details from your post. Do bear in mind that, given folk might still recognise you from the wording of the email you've sent so do let us know if you'd prefer us to remove your entire post.
