In all fairness though, your scenario suffers from an continunity problem. Did the neighbor pop out of nowhere? I’ll go on that possibility because there’s a severe continunity problem if not. I’ll mention one continunity issue is that the neighbor doens’t have to deal only with your music—there’s plenty of other things they’d need to avoid. Washing the dishes? Taking a shower? Playing their own music? There’s simply too many things that produce a strong enough sound that your music would be equal if not lower than what they can perceive.
Also, ome people here said that you’ll be cooperating. I say you’re being defecated on. Because their situation simply isn’t really going anywhere—everyone MUST go down or else.. wahh, my ears.
Least convinient possible world, where my aforementioned continuty problem is not a problem, I’d say that they still need to cover for themselves—it’s still their issue. They certainly need to solve it themselves, fair’s fair. That doesn’t allow you to be a dick, but I see no reason you should bend down while not getting anything in return.
Headphones, problems solved.

Or hang some fabric on the walls to muffle the sound a bit.
All-around second to this comment. Someone with ears that sensitive probably shouldn’t be living in a thin-walled apartment complex.
I actually consider headphones extremely unsatisfying.
True. Headphones are still far more of a compromise from your side than theirs.
We should include the middle here as I’ve mentioned in the parent.
The OP doesn’t specify what instrument Alice is playing; if she’s playing e.g. the drums, headphones won’t help.
