What is a landlord’s responsibility toother tenants in a case where one of their tenants is noisy?

They play their music/bass way too loudly for 7-8 hours a day, and around 4 hours a night during the “quiet hours.” I have asked them to stop, with no success. I have complained to my landlord and to the apartment property manager at least a dozen times within the last few weeks. This has been going on for months. The property manager has sent letters to the neighbors, but it has only become worse. We have different landlords, so I am not sure exactly what obligations my landlord has to fix this. I can’t take it any more. What can I do?
