Woman receives wholesome reply from neighbour after complaining about children playing piano loudly
A woman has shared the sweet reply she received from her neighbors after complaining about their childrenâs loud piano playing.
In a viral video on TikTok, London-based influencer Martina Panchetti showed viewers that her neighbors replied to Panchettiâs letter asking if her children could avoid playing piano early in the morning. She wrote in the videoâs overlaid text: âWe sent a letter to our neighbors politely asking to make less noise and possibly avoid playing piano too early in the morning,â
Within a yellow envelope with âto neighboursâ written on in child-like handwriting as well as a cartoon globe sticker was a letter written by the children and mother next door. They started the sweet message by thanking the influencer for her âkind messageâ.
âWe realize that sometimes we can be noisy and naughty,â the letter continued. âWe started learning piano and our teachers tell us to practice every day. But we sincerely apologize for not considering the times of the day and the weekends.â
They admitted that Panchetti wasnât the only one frustrated by their early morning practice, writing: âTo be honest, mommy has been telling us not to play in the mornings and she also wants to get some sleep on the weekends. We promise you and we promise our mommy to try to be more considerate.â
In addition to the letter, the neighbors sent over some ânational Azeri sweetsâ to further demonstrate their willingness to compromise and work with Panchetti. The influencer noted in her caption that she planned on returning the favor with an edible treat inspired by her Italian background.
Since posting the video in March, it has garnered over 668,000 likes and 8.7 million views on the platform, with viewers commending both parties for how they handled the noise complaint.
âThis would make me wanna put together a sorry basket for them,â one user wrote.
âHelping the parents out too,â someone commented. âItâs a great learning moment for kids to be considerate of others even when they canât see them!â
âThe way the handwriting randomly changes to cursive,â another added, noting that the mother likely wrote the cursive portion about not being a fan of early morning piano practices.
Others shared their own experiences navigating noisy neighbors and the wholesome surprises they encountered.
âWe had a neighbor kid who would practice saxophone outside every afternoon,â one person recalled. âIt was horrendous at first but eventually it became very enjoyable to sit outside and be serenaded by beautiful music.â
âWe live in a building with all elderly people and I just had a baby. I apologized in the elevator one day for her crying,â another recounted, detailing their experience as a new mom living near seniors. âMy neighbour said: âI love to hear her cry, I miss when my children were small like that so it makes me smile to hear babies in the building.ââ
