Dilemma with neighbor's music

“I’m sure you’re not aware, but recently we can hear the bass from your music in our unit, and it has been disturbing our sleeping and TV viewing. I may be somewhat overly sensitive to sounds, but I would really appreciate the volume down after _______________ pm. Thank you for your consideration.”

We had an (different) issue with upstairs neighbors in a previous condo building we lived in. We did not know them at all. We wrote a note to them pseudo identifying ourselves (“we live in the unit below you”), that was similarly worded to what I wrote above. Problem immediately solved.

I get the challenge of saying something F2F. But, that might be better since you do, sort of, know them. But, if you don’t want the F2F, “confrontation,” write a note.
