Walk outside of your apartment.
Turn around and look at the number on your door.
Add 100 to your door number.
Memorize it.
Go up one flight of stairs.
Find the apartment with the memorized door number. (Your door number + 100)
Listen carefully at the door and verify that the sounds coming out are the same ones coming through your ceiling.
Knock.
ASK them nicely if they could please keep it down. (This is your first confrontation. Next time, you raise holy hell.)

Btw, if there *are* kids there, there's honestly not much the parents can do. Even when kids try to walk quietly, they're like little stomping elephants. Especially in an apartment setting, the slightest noise sounds like a bomb going off in apartments.

Oh, and if you see little kids in the background, please ask the person to come out into the hall and talk to you - don't stand there in the doorway looking pissed off and mean (especially if you think you'll start yelling and cussing) - little kids don't need nightmares from that kinda stuff.
