Today, the people living below me have been blasting their music so loudly that I can hear every word as clear as day. The people next door think it's my music and feel the need to bang on the wall and blast their music just as loudly in revenge. I have two very important exams tomorrow. FML

Today, I can't any peace and quiet in any room of my flat. The neighbours on one side are arguing, the other side are having very loud sex, the ones upstairs I suspect are playing some sort of games console, and downstairs daughter has been practising her violin badly all morning. FML
Today, I tried to study for my upcoming engineering exam. The class I’m in is notorious for being incredibly difficult and is oftentimes the reason for people dropping out of the major. Too bad the dudes in the apartment next to me have a subwoofer and keep playing music that has way too much bass. FML
Today, I had to study for an important test but I could barely focus because my roommate had his music blasting at full volume. Since we get along well, I decided to put up with it. I just found out he forgot to turn it off and left over 6 hours ago. FML
Today, I'm trying to study for my finals, but some local school is having an event nearby, and has decided to make life hell by playing "Magic In The Air" at full volume while some woman screams into a mic. I'm dying. The entire neighbourhood can hear their damn sports day. FML
Today, I found out my upstairs neighbors filed a noise complaint against me for banging on the ceiling every night. They conveniently left out the part where they constantly stomp, shout, and do stuff that sounds like they're dropping bricks to the floor every night. FML
Today, my downstairs neighbours screamed at me for making so much noise that I woke their children up and made them cry. The noise was the sound of a loose floorboard shifting as I crept to my bathroom, and again on my way back to bed. They've sworn to get me evicted. FML
Today, my neighbors in the apartment above me yet again had a loud fight, well past midnight while I was trying to sleep. I stood on my bed and pounded on the ceiling to shut them up. And now I'll have to explain the two fist-shaped holes in the ceiling to my landlord. FML
Today, to make my dorm neighbours think I'm popular, I blasted music and screamed at the top of my lungs so it sounded like I was having a party. My residence manager slapped me with a noise violation, and demanded to come in to make sure we weren't drinking. I had to explain why I was by myself. FML
Today, I finally had some alone time to relax and watch a movie. As soon as I pressed play, my neighbor started blasting their music so loud I could feel the bass in my chest. I tried calling the landlord, but they didn't answer. I ended up watching the movie with subtitles while listening to my neighbor's music. FML
Today, I was blaring the radio to drown out the sound of the kids in the apartment upstairs. They then started jumping in time with the music. FML

Communication is key. Just simply go talk to both neighbors calmly.

Talk to them and the landlord and then go to the library. Quit complaining

Man the **** up and knock on their doors and tell them in a stern, yet calm manner to keep the noise down or you will phone the Police. Seriously, you deserve it for not confronting them.

A shame you guys probably don't have the same language so that you can't go talk to them about it like a civilized human being. Oh wait you do.

Just talk to your neighbors and explain the situation. I agree with other comments, communication is key. Or complain to a landlord or someone about it.

It depends on who the neighbours are, what time it is and the relationship you have with the neighbours but either go round and ask politely if they mind turning the music down (if they argue, explain that it's not your music blasting out. If you don't feel safe going round yourself, call the police non-emergency line and ask them to ask the neighbours to turn it down. I had that problem last term, the night before a weekend training course (which I had to leave really early to get to). When my neighbours (a group of guys who were drunk at the time) were still blasting music out at 3 am, I didn't feel safe going round (I was alone in the house) and so I called the police and explained that I didn't want them to get into trouble but I didn't want to go round alone. The police came, the music turned down and I got to sleep and just about made it on time in the morning!
