Would it not be better to ask the landlord to deal with the noise or

The EHO aren't going to be the slightest bit interested in noise
pollution from another room within the same property though.

Not even in a HMO .Are they not regarded as seperate dwelling for
noise pollution purposes .

Well at the end of the day, it would be up to the individual local
authority who issues the HMO license. I suspect it's pretty unlikely
they'd issue one in this instance, but don't think noise would be
anything to do with it - have never heard of that being an issue for
HMOs per se.
