AITA if I be less nice to my neighbors?

AITA?

i (26f) and my (32m) fiancé moved into what I thought at first was a blessing of a place over a year ago…boy was I wrong.Little backstory to set the pace, my man and I met three years ago, at the time I was living in a hell of a basement rental. From the day I moved in to the day I moved out, it was horrible! The family that owned the house lived above me well, no one warned me just how LOUD it was going to be living below what I thought were a very sweet and kind couple. also wrong. to make a long story shorter,it was almost 24-7 noise, from slamming doors to dragging chairs at 2am night after night even listened to a lot of 1am screaming matches! The problem with that is my job as I am in construction safety and CANNOT GO TO WORK LEGALLY ON LESS THEN 6-8 hrs of sleep it’s a huge risk for me and my crews, I digress. Once we finally move out of basement prison we find a perfect place nextdoor to my man’s family and I think thank god! Finally some peace! WRONG! the past year of living in the new place it’s almost the same thing but alittle more tolerable but not by much. now I know your probably thinking “why not just ask them to keep it down?” I have tried. Numerous times nicely like “hey I heard you guys up last night haha no no you didn’t keep me up but if you could just be alittle quieter I have work early“. one would think after a year of me nicely asking them to be quiet on weekdays after 10pm wouldn’t be too much of an ask. apparently it is since they can’t even do that most nights. AITA if I be less nice and lay out the expectation of peace of environment or should I just move on and find another place? lmk what you think all advice is appreciated
