We have very heavy metal doors in our apartment building. When D2 was living with me she used to come home late at night and would let the door close (slam) behind her. My next door neighbor told me how it was bothering him. I apologized to him and passed on the message to D2. She was embarrassed and tried to close the door gently.
This year my other side neighbor let her young relatives stay at her apartment for few months. They were letting the door slam behind them when they were going in and out of the apartment. I wrote them a polite note to ask them to close the door more softly. They gladly complied. They didn’t know I could hear it in my apartment.
I think you should let your neighbor know that their sound is bothering you. Most people want to be good neighbors.
