Tried that with my neighbor once. It escalated until I was calling cops on him at 3:30 in the morning. People are shit and don't care until someone finally has enough and retaliates.

This person rarely seems to be an issue at 3.30 in the morning though.

I think we can deduce something from the "always 9am" thing.

Like I get noisy neighbours who don't care are a thing. But also, it's not unreasonable to have a morning routine where you put on some music and do some light exercise at 9am.

Unless its actually blaring to high heaven, I don't see the neighbour being at fault here.

I know it's irritating as fuck, but it's not unreasonable. I used to work nights and still have pretty much the same schedule and I fucking loathe my neighbours, but I have gone there to actually talk to them. These ones can't be reasoned with.

Some can. Some.

I think you missed the point. It's not about time, it's about respecting other people and most people around here do not care. The reason I was calling the cops on him at 3:30 am isn't because he was routinely making noise at that time. It sounded like he was dropping a bowling ball repeatedly at 7 am, 4pm, 11pm, and basically whenever. He started doing it at 3:30 to be an asshole. I also had neighbors blasting music into the hallway on Chinese new year every year. I also ended up having to call the cops on them last time because after 2 hours and me asking politely 3 times then demanding the 4th time with a threat of calling the police they didn't listen. I just happened to be sick as fuck that day too and I had to get the rest but I couldn't.
