Neighbor troubles

I really HATE confrontation. Our neighbors have been LOUD since the day we moved in and I am annoyed by it. I can right now as I type hear their music clear as day. I opened my front door, almost put my foot out the door to ask them to please be quiet, when I walked back in my house and closed the door. I am one who enjoys peace and quiet and listening to someone's music doesn't count as peace and quiet.

If anyone has any neat ideas or ways for me to ask them to please be quiet that would be great. It is annoying when my son is trying to sleep and I am trying to rest. I thought about making a bag of cookies or something and attaching a note to the bag asking them to please be quiet.

I really enjoy our house and the location of where we live but I really think that when July comes around and we have to sign our lease we won't and move to the University apartments. Hopefully our name will be next on the waiting list by then and we can move in. The move I am dreading but I like how think the walls were there and that if my neighbor were being too loud I could call the university police and they would take care of it.
