Dear Sir, I am writing regarding the amount of noise coming from the new canteen which has just opened near my University residence.
Although

there is considerable talking, shouting and the sound of motorbikes continuing until about 12.30 each night.
This
causes me and my neighbours in the residence a serious problem because at that time we are either trying to sleep or in some cases trying to study in our bedrooms. In both cases, the noise and commotion disturb us, making us tired in the mornings or affecting the progress of our studies. I am sure you will appreciate that
this
is a very worrying situation for us all. I would like to suggest that the campus authorities restrict the canteen’s opening to 11pm at the latest on weekdays, leaving it at midnight during the weekend. I propose that we
also
put up some signs reminding users to be considerate and to keep their noise to an absolute minimum. These are simple steps which would make us all very grateful indeed. Thank you for your attention to
this
important matter. Kind Regards, Kambiz Pirzad
