Apartment neighbor plays piano for 4-5 hours daily, including early mornings and into evenings

Hello. Can I ask if I am being unreasonable by being annoyed by this. I live in an apartment complex, buildings around a pool.

Every day, and I mean EVERY day, my neighbor plays piano for 4-5+ hours. It is usually something like 2-4 hours in a row, then maybe a 20 minutes to 45 min break, then another 2-3 hours. It starts before 8AM and goes all morning, all afternoon.

Not only that, but it's the same song. Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over. And over again. There is zero break between the song for the most part. Like for example, do pianists not play the whole song and take even 1 minute to sigh in satisfaction, rub their hands with glee or otherwise take a breather? Does this not occur in piano, before one immediately plays the same song again? Not with this neighbor. The very half second this song ends, it begins again!

I can hear it SO loudly. I can hear it when all my windows are closed. I can hear it with all my windows closed, while wearing headphones. I have not made any complaints yet, but if it continues, I am considering it.

I just feel like maybe this neighbor could make reasonable accommodations to like, help the rest of us. I work from home and run meetings from home. Like sound-proof the home? Or perhaps move the piano away from window? Or use digital keyboard on occasion? Or not play before 9am ?

This piano is in my head all day, I basically have tinnitus in the cling of piano keys. I can hear it in my head right now, even though they aren't playing.

I don't want to be an ass. Thanks for any advice.

Please can someone help a total dummy...I don't understand how to number invoices

Sorry, I know I am a total idiot. I am low intellect. I am confused on how I number invoices. How do I number multiple invoices for the same client? If I have 4 clients, how would my different invoices look like?

Like say the client is called Banana Company, and I have a monthly invoice I have to send them. How would I number the invoices to them? What would numbering of first invoice look vs. second invoice? Why do people put numbers like 00001 on the invoice instead of just 1 or 01, for example? You can see by my questions I'm just confused and I don't even know how to phrase my confusion.

I am a total newbie and clueless. Sorry, I know this post doesn't have a lot of info. I'm basically confused on how to number and mark invoices. Right now I have invoicely as the software I'm using.
