A colleague in my new office always plays loud music in the office which I don't like because we share same office space. I am new here. I don't want to sound rude, how can I best tell her to reduce or put it off. Everyone murmurs about it but no one has been able to tell it to her face

Ear plugs or noise cancelling headphones?
Confronting her politely is probably best though

Exactly. I agree

Just tell her to knock it off. It's an office. Does she not understand how people are expected to behave in office environments? Sounds like someone to whom people have been too accommodating. Time to meet the real world.

I agree with you. It's an office space for crying out loud. Someone needs to wake her up.
