Since you have a baby, that's a best excuse. Tell them politely: I enjoy your playing, but my baby has a problem and can't sleep and keeps crying. So could you please avoid playing in the afternoon (or whatever time you don't want them to play), or could you practise in another room far from my appartment?

Good question when you find out please let me know. I have a couple of neighbors like that. Maybe if you slip them a note asking politely to be mindful of others.

you could ask the other neighbors if this bothers them too. i know it's their house, but they need to respect that they live very close to others. mabye some kind of time frame could be set up for noise

Start playing some socially degrading rap and hip hop music and ask them to watch the Oprah Winfrey show - Thank you and have an intoxicated day.
