I'd invite them round and ask them to experience the issue they are causing you.
Suggest they put the blasted thing on a timer if they do want to continue running it.
Howard-

Bit cosy to lie in a silent bedroom with your neighbour though
You could try your suggestions, but as they're not willing to stop it over night I don't know how far you'll get. They will have to bite the bullet and tile at some point, at least you know it won't go on forever. Unfortunately the path of least resistance may just be earplugs.

Given the dehumidifier chat I wanted to add that my downstairs neighbour has been running one constantly in the room directly below my bedroom for the past few weeks.
The noise and vibration from the dehumidifier is audible and stops me and my partner from sleeping.
Neighbour is trying to dry out walls before tiling them (previously been damp, assumed to be caused by water coming in from outside - damaged drain).
Drain has been fixed (allegedly). Dehumidifier remains... my guess is that neighbour should be (but isn't) heating the room to speed up the drying. Or perhaps that they're leaving the dehumidifier running trying to chase an unfeasible low % target and pulling outside air through the draughty windows/floor.
Any suggestions on how to speed up the resolution? Dehumidifier on rubber mat, heat room, be reasonable and stop trying to dehumid the whole planet via your flat... what have I missed?
(I have of course tried asking "please turn it off 11pm-7am as it's disturbing my sleep) but no joy).
Building is late 1800s solid stone walls and timber floors. Noise and vibration transmission is absolutely chronic.
