This is a really stupid question -- you've been warned. But it's been driving me nuts. 

Here's the sitch': my partner and I live in a lovely apartment building, we get along with our neighbors and it's all peachy. However, the new upstairs neighbors are super inconsiderate with their noise-levels. I don't know *what* the hell they're doing, but there is consistent, non-stop, aggravating "tap-tap-tap, taptaptaptap, tap-tap-tap, taptaptaptap". It'll go on for hours. Not exaggerating here. 

My hypothesis is that someone is at their computer or listening to music, and they habitually "drum along" with whatever they're listening to. They seem to wear headphones, at least, so that's nice. 

But seriously, folks, this aggravates me to no end. (I get really bad tension headaches that sometimes morph into migraines, and I also have really weirdly specific anxiety triggers, which include strong wind, for an example. This tapping has turned out to be an anxiety trigger.) This endless tap-tap-tap-tap-tap when I'm trying to enjoy a quiet weekend afternoon, or at *fucking 11:30 at night*. It raises my anxiety to the point where my heart is beating like rabbit's, blood pressure is high, and sleeping gets pretty difficult. 

*Anyway, it's absurd, and I know that. Just giving some context as to why this drives me fucking bonkers.*

My partner says I should just bang on the ceiling when they do it, and they'll knock it off -- but I can't bring myself to do that, because I feel like nobody responds positively to that. (Why the hell should they?) 

So. Would I be the asshole if I: 
1) Took my partner's passive-aggressive suggestion to just bang back at them. 
2) Took the time to go up to the apartment, introduce myself, and ask them to pretty-please stop drumming on the floor. At least in the fucking bedroom. At least at night. Please. 
or 3) (The one I'm least inclined to do) File a complaint with building management. 

I think #2 is the least asshole-ish option, but my partner says it'd be weird. 

So, internet -- WIBTA?
