Is there something a tenant can do about the noise of nearby tenants?

Yes. The tenant may have a claim against the landlord for a breach of the covenant of quiet enjoyment because of the acts or noise of a nearby tenant that is renting from the same landlord. The landlord must know of the other tenant's actions and not stop or control them. A landlord is not responsible for the acts of other neighbors who are not renting from the same landlord.
